Shortish sighting. My town is currently in a cold snap. An abnormal cold snap. As in... we have SNOW. Inches of the stuff. Last time this happened? 40 years ago. I had a snow fight the other morning at the train station. But the road adivisory is - Dont travel, go home, keep off roads unless neccessary
So I ventured to the pizza store before going home (nothing in the pantry, cheap pizza night). I wasn't enjoying driving in this weather, but I was sensible (barring the fact I didn't go straight home ) - Slow acceleration, gentle braking etc.
Was waiting for my pizza-ry goodness to bake and they had a phone call.
PG - Pizza Guy
Caller - I couldn't actually hear them, so I'll add my own dialouge, but what PG said made it clear.
PG - "Sorry we aren't delivering tonight, its pickup only."
Caller - "I am the very model of a modern major general"
PG - "No we aren't delivering tonight."
Caller - "This parrot, IS NO MORE."
PG - "Because is snowing, and not safe for our drivers."
Caller - "Cake or death!"
PG - "Good bye."
I looked at PG and said "Didn't like that did they?" he grinned and shook his head no. When I decided to get Pizza, I also knew I wouldn't DREAM of demanding them deliver. As I left I told the girl I was finishing the transaction with I hope they all got home safely.
