Today my wife accidentally drove her car into the ditch on one side of our driveway while returning from running some errands. We received another 4 inches or so yesterday, which made it hard to spot exactly where the driveway is.
Her first instinct was to come wake me to get her out. So I went to assess the situation. Before we could get back to the car – our driveway is about 150 ft. long, both of our neighbors were there.
I thought the angle in which her car was at was too great to simply push the car out, so I went back to the house to get my log chain and my 4×4.
Before I could get back to the scene, Rachel was out and coming straight at me. My neighbors banded together and rocked her car out.
They are good neighbors. Always helpful in a time of need, and always there to talk about whatever subject is in mind.
There is a dark side though, as my one neighbor (a former contractor) is somewhat pushy and nosy when it comes to anything we do to our place. I understand he may have a lifetime of experience with these things, but I am no dummy. He is pressuring us to convert our total electric house to gas. I am mainly against this due to reasons which are hard to explain. The main point is that it’s my home, not his!
