Hello and welcome back to the snowbound Dogpound.  It was a tough week for us. I was backing out of my driveway for work, and it was dark and the snow made it difficult to see the edges of my driveway. I got too close to the edge, stupid me, and got stuck.

So, I walked back up the hill to call the tow company, took off my coat and shoes, and realized I left my wallet with my towing contact in the car.  So, I put my coat and shoes back on, walked back down the gravel driveway in the dark and snow and retrieved my wallet.  I walked back up the drive and took off my stuff, only to find that the information I thought was in the wallet was really in the glove compartment of the car.  So I put my coat, gloves and shoes back on and walked back down to the car one more time. 

I called the 800 number and, after a bit, they said the local company had been out most the night because of all of the snow and asked me to call back in an hour after they got some rest. That’s small town living for ya.  I called back in an hour and this time they were ready, but they could not locate my address; it was not a valid address, according to them.  After several repeats and verification of the information, I told the operator to ask them if they knew where the old Dr. Depree’s land was. Yep, they knew where that was! Again, small town living.  After a few hours, I was able to get to work with no real damage done, other than to my ego.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer when they complained about the heat.” Dogpound Wisdom

WHO IS THE BOSS?
My Uncle Joe got fired from his construction job. I asked him what happened. “You know what a foreman is?” he asked. “The one who stands around and watches the other men work?” “What’s that got to do with it?” I asked. “Well, he just got jealous of me,” Uncle Joe explained. “Everyone thought I was the foreman.”
 
HOW FIGHTS START
This guy was watching TV as his wife was out cutting the grass during the hot summer. He finally worked up the energy to go out and ask his wife what was for supper.
Well, his missus was quite irritated about him sitting in the air-conditioned house all day while she did all the work, so she scolded him. “I can’t believe you’re asking me about supper right now! Imagine I’m out of town. Go inside and figure dinner out yourself.” So he went back into the house and fixed himself a big steak with potatoes, garlic bread and a tall glass of iced tea. The wife finally walked in about the time he was finishing up and asked him, “You fixed something to eat? So where’s mine?” He said, “Huh, I thought you were out of town.”
As always be good, play safe and remember winter is not for everyone.
