Well, today is certainly a snow day in Hammond, Indiana. We are expecting upwards to 12 inches of the white stuff over today and tomorrow. It’s our second snowstorm of the winter season in 2009-10. Once i get done with this blog I’ll get ready and go out and shovel a little. I don’t want to be shoveling the whole 12 inches tomorrow.

Still, I’m glad it’s not like 1967. When we had 23 inches of snow over 2 days. It’s still the grand winner of snowstorm in the area. We were off from school for 3 days. People couldn’t get to work or leave once their shift was finished in the steel mills or the end of the day. But it was a lot more fun then it is today as people worked together to get the cars dug out and the streets cleared.

These days, people help each other out less. They only work for themselves, forget about the other guy or gal.  It’s kind of sad, in a way. Hard to thoink of the ’60’s as the ‘good old days,’ when people helped out each other and had fun doing so. It’s kind of like my parents who longed for the good old days of the 1930’s qnd 40’s.

Every one has a period of time they think was the best. I guess it’s just human nature. Well of to shoveling!
