Absolutely right! Shoveled the patio 3x for the "low riders" (basset hounds). My plowman just called to say that he had an accident - ran into one of the town plows. His plow is totalled ... won't be here to clean up the driveway tonight ... /sigh/.
I moved up here from Huntington, several year ago. Where abouts on the North Shore are you? (I traded the 7:08 train for a 15 minute drive ... but still miss LI :-( )
