he did not have to walk mile north
of town to get to his home during the
storm Wednesday. Nevertheless he

living in town. While you do not have
to wade the snow and mud so far or
brave the storms, you must shovel

done very little of for the last four
years. The wind blew it all away out
on the farm.
