my brilliant idea

[Carrie]

So on my way back from the bank, I was going down a steep hill, and after almost falling on my bottom about 10 times, I thought to myself "why don't they salt the sidewalks?"

now, after that I also thought that no one would want to pay people to go around salting the sidewalks, and honestly no one would want the job. So back to trying not to fall on my ass.

then it came to me, who walks on the streets everyday? even when it snows? THE MAILMAN. So why don't we give him one of those push carts that dispenses fertilizer and fill it up with salt? So each mailman would salt the side walk on their route.

now I know what your thinking.. the mailman wouldn't wanna do this job.. well of course not. thats not the point.. the point is .. I came up with this brilliant idea..

and if I have to go down that hill anytime soon, I'm wearing my snowpants and just sliding down!

i see people salt the sidewalks all the time!

congrats on having an idea though :)

It's a GREAT idea. But my dad's a mailman and I know he wouldn't do that. Doesn't get paid enough to do something extra like that :p. (and to all those people who say they do get paid enough, well, my dad's a few years from retirement and he makes maybe $5 more than what my boyfriend makes at the job he's had for 3 years).

only SOME people salt their sidewalks, everyone is at work or lazy and the old people can't carry the heavy salt. blah blah..

anyway. this is covering MORE sidewalks.

how about you sit in the chair, I'll sit on your lap.. and we'll go 'weeeeeeeeee' all they way down together.

then when we hit the main street we can start screaming for help and they'll push us up the hill, and we'll go 'weeeeeeeee' all they way down again
