We finally ordered new air conditioners at the firehouse to replace the ancient 1970′s monsters that we had. The head of our kitchen committee offered to help take the old ones out a few days ahead of the anticipated arrival of the new ones. The next day I walked into the firehouse and this is what I found.
A few years ago, when I moved into my apartment, I decided to purchase a new air conditioner, since my old one was on its last legs. I remembered a story that my friend Brad told me; that he bought an air conditioner and lugged it up four flights of stairs, only to find out that it wouldn’t fit in his window. With that in mind, I carefully measured the window to make sure I’d find an A/C that would fit perfectly…
When I first moved into my apartment, it was unfurnished so I headed down to Home Depot to pick up some shades for the bedroom windows. Before heading to Home Depot, I carefully measured the width and height of the window frame and wrote down the dimensions. The window was 29 7/8ths inches wide, so I knew that I would need the shades custom cut to fit my window. I figured this would be a relatively quick process; little did I know what was in store for me.
It was me or the Plow, one of us was going down. I could tell by the sleep deprived glaze in the plow driver’s eyes that he was intent on burying me alive in a ten foot wave of snow. As with all life or death situations time slows down. It became crystal clear to me the instant before I was to be buried alive that I needed to escape the attack of the behemoth, Killer Snow Plow.
