   actually, in this case they're quite happy.  Doing 18 hours/day for   
   three or four days is pretty much the limit...

   I forget which city it was in New Mexico but I remember   
   Gov Bill Richardson (D, 2003-2011) describing how that   
   area had just one dedicated snow plow vehicle which was   
   at the airport due to FAA regulations..   
      
   (I'd love to see a solid biogrphy of him.  He seemed to   
   show up at plenty of international critical events, includinf   
   hostage negotiaions.  From my limited point of view he seemed   
   to be pretty impressive, but friends of mine from New Mexico   
   curse him out.  Oh, and Univ of New Mexico just now removed   
   his name from its hospital building 'cuz Epstein connections...)
