All this talk about Global Warming clearly has left many Racinians confused.
Proof of their confusion sits in the repair lot of Central Saw & Mower on Lathrop Avenue, where hundreds of snowblowers shiver cold and forlorn, under a blanket of the snow they are born to push around.
Instead, the first real snowstorm of winter came in and dumped tons of the white stuff on their owners' driveways, while they sit ignominiously, with a yellow "REPAIR TAG" on their handles. Waiting.
And they'll continue waiting. Central Saw has five snowblower repair technicians working fulltime on just these snowblowers. But it will take weeks for them to get through the 300-400 machines already on hand.
"All they would have had to do was bring it in for a tuneup in the fall..." said one of the repair techs. Yeah, right. That's sort of like asking directions, isn't it?
