Q:Q: Poo Poo

Congratulations, Eastern and Central timers of the northernish regions! It's 50 degrees outside!!!
Pet owners must be of one big brain hub when it comes to cleaning up after their pets, and that's: mess is only mess if it looks like a mess. All snowy winter I see, otherwise responsible dog owners, who would otherwise pick up their puppy's poopie, leave the load sitting in the snowbank to freeze. It seems like a good idea; the cold will eliminate the smell almost immediately, no one will really step in it because it's in the snow bank off to the side of the walk, and a fresh sprinkling of snow will likely bury the terrific turd in a matter of hours or days....UNTIL...the first big melt of the season and it's like poop-island out there! I don't know how it is in other cities, but in chicago people only clear one shovels-worth of snow, a teeny tiny, single file path of visible sidewalk with which to walk through the snow, so when you let your dog poop just to the side of it, when the snow melts it's all over the actual sidwalk! and from the looks of it, these are coming from some pretty big dogs, not to mention the owners likely only take the lovelies out half as often in the frigid winter, so the loads are atleast twice as big.

Query: What's up with the shitty sidewalks
Quandry: My winter boots may never be clean again.

Oh Crap,
