Pressure Points

About Pressure Points

West Tennessee winter mostly arrives sideways — sleet first, then a glaze that sets on every driveway in Greenfield overnight and turns a short walk to the car into a real problem. Pressure Points goes out into that, plowing drives clear, breaking the ice loose on walks, spreading salt where the sun will not reach until afternoon. Flat land offers no shelter, so the wind pushes what falls into long ridges against fences and garage doors. There is something worth doing about being the first tire tracks on a street at five in the morning. By the time the town wakes up, the way out is open.
