Said that when he retired he was going to strap a snow shovel to the front of his car and start driving south. First time somebody asked him what the snow shovel was, that's where he was going to live.<br /><br />Snow brush seems to work too.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-40434940736807583822018-01-13T03:40:11.681-08:002018-01-13T03:40:11.681-08:00I moved to FL from the south shore of MA a couple ...I moved to FL from the south shore of MA a couple of years ago- A little less than a year after moving, I was driving my wife's car, dropping my kid and a couple of his friends off at the movie theater. One of the kids picked up the snow brush and asked 'what the heck is this thing?" <br /> To hell with what the snowflakes say. That's some privilege right there. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-57813668159084711232018-01-12T16:56:34.799-08:002018-01-12T16:56:34.799-08:00Amen...Amen...OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-87407731794957511522018-01-12T15:03:44.104-08:002018-01-12T15:03:44.104-08:00Just wait.
