clhomme OP t1_iwon8ok wrote

Because getting a second flagpole has been an insurmountable task. It's on the list of things to do....

"Normally".

I'm not expecting anything other than the new "normal"this year.

Snow.

Thaw.

Freeze.

Swear.

Yes, nothing I hate more than that. I love snow. But this has been a huge pattern last winter.

Yeah, that is true. Just felt it was the worst last winter.

Oh man, when I heard the news that inland areas could take the brunt of the storm...get bent, fuckers! Finally, the coast isn't the one that has to deal with a fuck-ton of snow! Wa-ha!

...

Watch, next storm, we're gonna be the ones that get bent.

Looks a lot fancier than the Auburn neighborhood I grew up in :)

clhomme OP t1_iwmn2f1 wrote

Yeah. Not all places are perfect.

I bought this mess of a house (120 years old) 18 years ago. No heat, electricity in half the house. Spent years renovating it one small part at a time. Had plywood counters and no ceiling in the kitchen for 15 years.... the bathtub was in the living room for a while.

They built the cul de sac around us long ago... little McMansions.

Somebody do something about that broken branch

clhomme OP t1_iwo16uo wrote

Oh, that's the least of the problems from those guys.

They're backed into my mailbox no less than 5 times.

3 times in one year.

Like fully broken and pushed over.

I'm not terribly fond of them.
