I bought a beater farm house in the serious rural country and surrounded by yuppies. Doctors,lawyers,judges etc..all real educated but in my observation not to smart. Up here the modis operandum for the yupsters is Saabs and Volvo's, very stylish and nuvo riche' but not notoriously great in serious snow mainly because they are so low. So like you, I live on a hill, Freeman Hill to be exact and with a serious 3/4 mile steady incline/decline. I drive a 4x4 Dodge Ram hemi hemi hemi!!LOL. I get up and down the hill no problemo's as long as I take it slow. And w/out fail with every major snow storm of 6-8 inchs or more there is inevitably a number of stranded Volvos and Saabs trying to grind and spin up the hill when I come rolling home. Despite I don't exist in their world (I'm old school, I wave to everyone I pass on my road....a hand gesture or a finger or 2 never so much receiving return hand waves as ignored. Just an observation), I always stop and ask would they like a ride home. And they happily except my offer. One guy even called and asked if I could go get his wife when she comes home later. Of course I say sure. Winter comes and goes and again the no wave acknowledgment. Strange world, eh? I know down south hand and finger hello gestures abundant. Yankees suck
.
BI - not all Yankee's are Yuppy's... Yuppies suck. They use you then ignore you. You would get a invite to pie and coffee if you ever helped the yankees that I know. Not only that but you would have a friend for life. It's the city mindset - too many people to care about anyone. Selfish people drive saabs and bmw's and volvo's... not quite rich enough to get themselves a Benz... LOL!! I'd only give them one chance - after that, let them call their Mommies for help.
