  • If you don’t have a car that can drive in snow, don’t drive in snow.

    Last blizzard I was in, I had to pull over to try to help two people get up a small hill.

    The first woman was afraid to steer while me and and a tow truck driver pushed her up. She wanted one of us to steer her car, but that just couldn’t happen. She ended up paying the tow truck driver more than $300 to tow her.

    While that was going on, a Honda Civic ended up sliding backwards down the hill. I pushed that one about 100ft along the road until it leveled out enough to move on its own.

    We have a Civic, but it sits in the driveway for blizzards.

    If you get serious snow where you’re moving, and you have to drive, get something with all wheel drive. Just remember that all wheel drive doesn’t mean you can stop. You still need to drive like a Granny in Sunday church traffic.








  • We often only get a couple trick-or-treaters every year, and this year was no different, except we left the front door open all night, which means we heard and saw kids walking past our house.

    I’m one of the few groups that came to our porch, I heard one girl whisper to her friends, “that’s the creepy house”

    So, I guess our house is the haunted house of the neighborhood. I’d be ok with that if we actually had any ghosts.

    We’ve been here for over 140 years, and I’ve never seen a single ghost.
