Neighbor's teenager son is out walking door to door to see if anyone needs to be shoveled and snow blown out for the impending storm. We have some elderly folks in the neighborhood that he knows and helps out clearing snow in the winter. Good to see a young kid helping out the elderly folks. $25 to clear out their driveway, steps, and sidewalks.

Say it takes him 30 minutes to clear the snow... that's about $50 an hour. Not a bad short time gig and I applaud him for helping out others. I told him to freely use my snowblower and stuff for his endeavors. Sure, he's making money but also helping folks. $25 to clear out the snow from your driveway, steps and sidewalk is pretty cheap in my area. I applaud the kid.

You gotta try San Francisco Bay Area traffic. Only LA is worse.

We have traffic here in Houston since it is the third largest city but nothing in comparison to California. California doesn’t build new roads. Here in Texas we have concrete. We have extra concrete. We build lots of roads! How wide you want it? Eight lanes. Let’s build it twelve lanes and add an access road in each direction.

Slept better today. Only woke up 3x that I remember. Deep asleep mid dreams when the alarm goes off is such a disorienting way to start the day.

Over did it today. Three inches of snow shoveled, walked three miles in the snow. Bought an upgrade of winter work gloves, ice melt, then a supreme meatball sub. Watching the NFL. Not the usual pop of a Steelers Ravens game.

Not sure if your daily schedule changes radically like swing shift but there are things you can do to help you get a better night's sleep. For me the key was to cut out eating late especially sugar, and keep the room cool like in the 60s and dark. You might want to try an Oura ring. It does a bunch of stuff but really helped me understand how to get better sleep.
