Oh great sweeper, though in my town you suck (it's a vacuum)
You keep my bike free of sharp things that get stuck

You're swirling the debris and sweeping everything
And since you're not a snowplow, YOU ARE A SIGN OF SPRING!!!

Street sweeper? Wha?
Flybye, you can't tell me you didn't have plows this week, cuz we did (and might get them tomorrow, too). I've not seen a hint of a sweeper yet.
(My route today has most definitely NOT been visited by any street sweeper, road crew, or good samaritan. Dodged boulders large and small--including ones rolling off the hillside as I rode by, moose poo, and was stopped from going further by snow.)

Oh, Yellow! What part of Utah are you in? I am sorry!!!! We have been COLD at night, 20-30ish range, but we have had enough days above freezing to melt the snow from everywhere but the shady areas that had large drifts. I went north last night - about 50 miles or so - and they still had snow in the fields. Yesterday we saw 50 degrees for a couple of hours. I am surprised that you still have snow. Every time I have been in Utah in the spring you have us beat by 8-10 degrees. Sorry - Spring is coming!! Promise. Originally Posted by yellow

Well, I guess I should come clean, too. We have snow in the forecast this week. I doubt it will stay, though.
