Driveway Update - January 6
From the Wagner Farm...
"...the driveway is ruined. The lack of snow has made it incredibly clay-rich. The clay binds to tires. The tires bind to stones. As you drive you can hear stones hitting one's undercarriage. It's really quite horrible. I turned up the radio the other day to drown out the sound even though it was the song "Last Christmas" by Wham. I don't mind Wham, but that song is overplayed. I was forced to choose between Wham and stones hitting my undercarriage. Wham won. As of now, elk toss cancelled."
