Yellowknife Pedestrians - Part 2
I did a post a couple of weeks ago about how some pedestrians in Yellowknife really annoy me ok, piss me off. So, while I can bash those who are not in my good books, I should commend those who are.
I was out the other day after work diligently clearing snow from the front walks. I don’t want to get another warning from the By-Law officer for not clearing them like I did a couple of winters ago.
Clearing the front walks is not an easy chore either. It will snow all night and all day and by the time I get to them after work, several 100 people have walked by packing the snow into near cement hardness.
Anyway, as I was clearing the packed snow by scraping the walks, I was continually interrupted by people walking home from work. As I waited for them to pass by so I could continue the cleaning process, many commented on how they wish everyone would clean their walks and thanked me for doing so. I even had one fellow ask me if I wouldn’t mind cleaning the walks all the way down to the Laing Building where he worked.
I really appreciated the words of thanks and the positive comments however, I will not be cleaning down the 2 full blocks to the Laing Building. It took me 1½ hours to do the shoveling yesterday at my place so the additional several hours down to the Laing Building is out of the question…unless someone wants to pay me handsomely to do so.

Pedestrians in this city bug me all year round. They don’t look where they’re going!
