Snow Class—Comedic Nugget

My apartment building is located in what many would characterize as a well-to-do neighborhood—fairly close to the Washington Cathedral. But I guess even high-end neighborhoods have a class system that rears its ugly head in snow storms. At the low rung are the people who can afford just their home…period. There is no extra money for a snow shovel or salt to clean their sidewalk. One rung up in class are the homeowners who scraped together just enough money to buy a small shovel that  allows them to shovel only a portion of their sidewalk so that neighbors have to walk single-file down the street. Top of the heap? Best in class? The homeowner who has managed somehow to save up enough money during the course of the year to buy a shovel large enough to clean the entire sidewalk.
