This Can't Be Happening

I had a very sad morning today.

I opened my blinds and saw our first snow fall.

Not having a garage when it snows is dreadful. I opened my car door and all the snow on my car flew in and landed on my driver seat. It was at that very moment that I realized that it is winter. I have been in denial for so long.

I do enjoy the snow when it comes to snow sports. I like to ski, tube, and ride snow mobiles... but besides that all it does is make my life so much more inconvenient. As I mentioned earlier, I have no garage so my car has to warm up for about 30 minutes before I go anywhere... When I take Kooter outside to go to the bathroom I have to stand knee deep in the snow and wait for 20 minutes while he sniffs every tree... then when we get back inside I have to wipe his feet and it is very difficult to get him to cooperate.

The worst part of it all is the parking lot at my apartment complex. The way the lot is set up is their are a bunch of separate squares with about 20 spots each. When the snow plow comes through to clear out the roads they dump all of the snow and block every ones car in. When we had that big blizzard last year, their was 4foot wall behind my car. I didn't even have a shovel so Ken had to drive to Home Depot at 7 in the morning to dig me out. Luckily he has a lifted truck with tires that are almost taller than me, so he was able to just back up over the mound.

I can't wait until my nice little Florida vacation. It will be a nice break from the lovely Chicago weather!

Their is one thing I would like to brag about! Last year we had a few major snow falls that practically shut down the entire area. In the transportation industry weather plays a huge roll in the ability to make pickup and delivery times. K&L made it through those storms without having to shutdown, without having any accidents, and we made each pickup and delivery time. It wasn't easy, but our drivers are well educated and are capable of handling anything that comes at them.

We are very good at what we do, and we are only getting better and better as time goes on.

If you need any assistance with any expedited shipping, local shipping, or air freight please give me a call!

Let's have a great day!
