re: #186 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

I recall incidents of people shooting each other in Chicago over parking places after the blizzard of 1978. Imagine spending five hours digging you car out and then having someone take “your” spot…

Thankfully, the people on our street (all 3+ unit buildings) were very respectful of the chairs that took up our cleaned out spots. We never had any incidents on our block.

I remember trying to start my car when it was, not just full of snow, but frigid (-40). That winter sucked.
