The snow is deep enough today that even the Trailblazer might not make it out--or if it did, might not make it back up. And the snowthrower is in the shop. So today will be spent reading Henry F. Buswell, The Law of Insanity In Its Application to the Civil Rights and Capacities and Criminal Responsibility of the Citizen (Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1885) for nuggets useful to the next book.
Heated driveways typically cost about $10 to $15 per square foot in addition to the cost of paving. If you have a traditional suburban driveway, that's a few thousand dollars--a very tempting expenditure. But if you have a driveway that is 600 feet long (like mine), that's at least $60,000. You can buy a beat up pickup or a new ATV, put a snowplow on it, and buy enough gasoline to run that plow for decades without even getting close to that kind of money.
I think we'll plan on having asphalt poured this summer, and then get an ATV and snowplow.
