I guess I shouldn't look a gifthorse in the mouth

That seems a strange thing for disaster relief to be doing. I would have thought there'd be more important work they could be doing.

I thought it was 'better late than never'

Hmmm. Were they waiting for a warmer day ? Odd, but well, can't say they never came . Did they get a lot done?

Yeah late but good

It's good they finally got to your neighborhood.

Too bad they didn’t come when you needed them most but better late than never.

I bet they didn’t have workers willing to work at the time in the cold so they probably had to do only what was absolutely necessary

Sometimes it take a while for them to clean everything up, so that might be the reason. That's like when a hurridcane or storm hits our area, people will complain about their lights being out for so long. I remember after one hurricane,(which flooded 3 towns near me) we were out of power for over a week, when my neighbor and I went to town some of the crew from the light company was siting down eating and she had the nerve to say that's why it's taking so long for everyone to get their power back on. It made me mad as fire when she said that, because I knew a member of the family that worked for the power company, so I knew what they were dealing with. They were working around the clock to restore power and having to wade in water over waist deep in some areas to get to the lines. Like you said, be happy that they came, even if it was 6 weeks later.

Maybe they were so busy,

Sure you were happy still.
