"Steaming Pile" or "People Suck"

We've been hearing about the upcoming "blizzard" for a couple of days now. It didn't turn to be a big deal, and the 6-12" forecasted turned out to be around 3 or so. Snow has a couple of cool properties: it absorbs sound--it sounds very quiet when you go outside, and you can see all kinds of tracks in the snow. The record of tracks is cool when you have rabbits, foxes, and a raccoon or two running around. It's _not_ so cool when you see some dog tracks come up to your porch, directing your eyes to a lovely brown treasure. It's even _less_ cool when you see the owner's tracks following the dog's. Unfortunately, the was enough walking traffic, and subsequent trail obscurement, that we couldn't follow the tracks to the perpetrator. To me this is a whole new level of discourtesy. I mean, dog owners have been out walking their dogs and not had a mechanism by which to clean up after them. But on my porch!?! This just reenforces my thinking that people truly do suck.
