The First Snow

Well we had the first real snow of the year.  It was the kind that's a pain in the arse, but lets you know it's still January.  Of course the snowplow was out and keeping our road passable.  Mind you we had less than 2 inches.  But that was enough to take out the mailbox on his first run, and our neighbors (as well as a number of others also).  I've lost count, but this is at least the fourth time in the last 15 months.   The clerk at the hardware store thinks I'm into something kinky because of all the duct tape I'm buying.  I'm not sure how long this repair job will last.  The force of the plowed snow almost pulled the concrete out of the ground besides separating the box from the post. If nothing else the cheap resin boxes are almost indestructible.   However, I did fare slightly better than our neighbor.  Their box was in pieces with the post broken off.  This totally out of control,  but you know the Township won't take any responsibility.  Still though I think I'll file a complaint.

We had a great time at lunch Thursday.  About 10 of us showed up.  Surprisingly the waitresses remembered us.  I think they even missed us a little. It was probably just the tips we leave.  Anyway everyone seemed to be having a good time.  Bob D. got so excited he spilled his drink all over his food. 

Talk at you later.  I've got to go draft a nasty letter.
