CONSPIRACY THEORY

What I am about to suggest can not be proven yet or maybe ever.  Today while I was at the end of my driveway shoveling a  giant snow burm ( wide and riddled with glacier chips-you get the picture )  thinking many different thoughts, the following came to mind:

When the County Plows the residential streets, why do they block all of the driveways with huge piles of snow?

When I complained (not just for me but for the greater good of all people(mostly old people), I was told that the City/County can not afford the type of blades that they can life up and down giving them the ability to not block us in.  (that of course is total BS).  I remember a few years back when the City spent a million dollars to shuffle desks/offices/people around in City Hall.  Could we not tap into that fund to buy new trucks???

Onto my theory,   please give this some thought.   Real Estate Sales are down.  Property Values are way down.  Now here comes winter.  We have lots of snow and we are plowed in over and over again.  Young  people can get out there and shovel. It is hard for them also when it so hard, icy and frozen tight.  Think of the elderly and aging.  If they can not afford to hire it out (and get ripped off) what can they do.   They may not have family or they may not want to burden their family.  They are stuck.  They may decide to sell right now before they age further and feel that they would not survive many more of these bad winters.  Ok, they now decide to sell  (at a loss most likely) and there we go the Spokane Real Estate thus the City/County will prosper. Builders will be remodeling the sold homes, furniture stores will be putting in new furniture  and on and on it goes.  Things will be looking  up for old Spokane.  All done by the City/County for the City/County.

Remember these are the same people who booted Retailers out of the old River Park Square so that it would look like the mall was vacant enough to be eligible for federal funds to rebuild a bigger better more prosperous mall?????? Oh yeah....!!!! (allegedly) 

Laugh as you may but I am just saying............  That is my theory and I am sticking to it. 
This all began when I took my dog Jaz out to his designated potty place.  As I  crossed my front yard.  I looked out to the end of my driveway and saw my garbage cans.  I need to go get them, I thought ,since the g. truck came earlier.  THEN  I SAW THE GIANT BURM.   I was ticked off.  Yesterday I spent almost a long hard hour shoveling my driveway.  Then more time shoveling my front walk.  NOW THE BURM?.  How did I not hear that truck.  Not that it matters,  was I really going to run out there yelling STOP, STOP.  I think not,  however,  many times I have pictured myself doing so.   What can I say, I can be very silly. 

So for today I will take solice in the JOY that I felt as I lited that last shovel full of snow.  I refuse to even let the dred of the next burm  enter my thoughts.
