And CB, I've got ChatGPT drafting a petition right now. I want it to come across as professional but with a hint of anger. Me, I'd be using expletives, or "sentence enhancers" in the first sentence.
Back in the late 1980s we had a major snow storm 8 or 9 inches. To much for my 914 (my only car at the time) to navigate, so my boss picked me up in his 4x4 Suburban. We got to the office, and we started shoveling the two front parking spots, and a way into the building for any customers.

We had tag team shoveling with 4 different guys, and we finally had one spot cleared by about 11:00 AM. We saw a guy in a tractor clearing the church parking lot next door and we flagged him down. He came over and cleared our entire parking lot in minutes. We invited him in and he said his clutch leg was shaking, and he was freezing cold. He warmed up, used our restroom and ate some of the fried chicken the boss had just fetched for all of us. I don't know what he charged for doing our lot, but it was worth it.

The guy on the tractor said he has made a year of tractor payments just that morning, and had more to do.
