Priest Lake Columnist: A Need To Push

I have never longed more for a smooth surface to travel on in my life. It’s strange, everyone has sore stomach muscles from driving around here. Even the females are complaining of jolted ovaries and uterus, if they have them. It is a strange thing, very strange. People are tired, literally. Walking in it compounds the drained feeling later. Cars approaching from the side streets to any main road have to stop of course, and it is at that point that they can’t get going again. Here’s the kicker though, it is a wonderful sign of a caring compassionate humanity when one is spotted. Lots of people stopping and helping others push out. I’ve lent myself two or three times. You really can’t help it/Randy Cox, As The Lake Churns. More here.

Question: Do you agree with Randy Cox that Snow Storm '08 is bringing out a need in us to help others?
