  I've mentioned this before I'm sure.
  One day we got a snow, the light fluffy kind.
  I watched as the grounds people spread down salt with one of those push
salters and following right behind was a guy with a blower.  One put down
salt, seconds later it was blown off the sidewalk.
  I asked why they didn't blow off the snow first then salt?  They said
they were told to "salt and blow" not "blow and salt".  ==sigh==
  State worker mentality.  Ya gotta love it.  :(
