plowing our roads, repairing our utilities, doing all it takes to take care of us during stormy times. I really admire their dedication and willingness of those individuals who go out in the worst of it to make things safe and comfortable for the rest of us. Anyone who doesn't appreciate that is probably just a self-absorbed republican who thinks it happens magically without the sacrifice of human beings or tax dollars.
