The guy plowing the lot here at the t/a in Elkton, must have been his first, didn't have a clue. He was plowing the front, hit the curb (square) about 35, ran out of lot so to speak. The rear tires came off the ground 6", best thing all weekend.Wish he was at the Loves in Toms Brook......I could have used a good laugh last night....!! John

| The city rebuilt the street in front of our house a few years ago. Its 30 MPH and a back road into town plus this is Connecticut and nobody goes slower than 10 over the limit and we watch them sail down the street, many exceed 60 mph . In the cities infinite wisdom they decided to raise the road elevation by about 3 feet. The put a culvert on top of the old road and dumped a load of gravel on top of it so they could get equipment over it until the roadbed was up to the new height. At night they'd put up barricades on both ends and every night the dummies would drive around the barricades and take off like a bat out of hell. We have a park bench at the bottom of the driveway and the entire neighborhood would gather there to watch the show. Too bad scrap prices weren't as high then. We could have made good money picking up exhaust systems, bumpers and anything not nailed down.

A few years ago I was plowing out our road with my old blazer and had to push the pile of snow the DOT left across our road to the other side of the highway. As luck would have it the NY DOT Plowtruck was making another pass. The driver stopped, got out and started screaming at me about what the hell did I think I was doing. I told him with the berm he left me, I couldn't even climb over it with the plow up, but I'd clean it up just like I always did. He said that GD idiots like me were the reason people ran off the road- blocked the highway, and how he could have me arrested. I went back to plowing, he got in the Mack he was plowing with, went down the road about 300' and laid the truck over on its side in the ditch. I went down to see if he was all right, and got the camera, took the picture, and left before he got all huffy again. I guess he was right about people running off the road! Most of these guys are pretty decent, but the 10% rule applies there too I guess.
Bad decisions make for good stories
