Tuscola sits where Interstate 57 crosses US 36, which means the town is used to headlights and to people who need to be somewhere. Auggie & Jesed Services keeps that motion possible in December — plow down before dawn, walks shoveled, salt worked into the spots where ice re-forms once the sun drops. When the ground thaws the same trucks come back for mowing, trimming and seasonal cleanups on the same list of addresses. Working both halves of the year means knowing a lot's drainage in April and its wind direction in January, and letting each one inform the other. The measure of the work is small and daily: a clear drive, a level lawn, nothing anybody has to think about.
