[AT] Sleet

Tue Feb 8 15:37:16 PST 2011

No Dot here is funny they don't want any one but there employes running 
there toys. I would like to see that one doind 3 lanes at one pass.[[but 
woud not want to be in front of them]]That robo plow would be fun sit in the 
window and play with it. Same here with it getting smacked. Our neighbor 
works for DOT and he all so does the road in front of our places. So some 
times it works out. Saw him one day when it was blowing snow bad got over a 
little extra cleaned end of our drives.
