Those of you who live far enough north of the 905 that you can no longer see the CN Tower likely now have snow on the ground.
Up in my neck of the woods, in fact, we have had enough snow for Terry Bradt to make his first pass down my lane.
He's the guy who plows my snow and keeps us from being snowbound.
I wish I could claim him on my income tax form as a dependent because, during a normal winter, I see him almost as often as I see my wife.
There is no way of getting around this.
The lane is too long to do it by simple snowblower and, besides, the snow has to be moved around in order to make room for parking, and Terry has the toys to do it — a tractor with both a blade for plowing and a shovel for lifting and moving.
Yes, there is that much snow in a normal winter.
The good news, of course, is that this means the snowmobile season is damned near upon us and, if the lake ever freezes, it is a kind of freedom that cannot be matched even by a motorcycle.
My trail pass has been purchased, the snowmobile is greased and ready to go, and so is my pal, Wally McColl.
Last year we almost bought the farm.
But you know that already. |
