For the second time in as many weeks someone has ended up in our front yard instead of the pavement. One driver slid off the icy road and into our utility pole (the driver wasn't injured, thank goodness). Besides the ruts in our yard and various pieces of his bumper scattered about, our only "damages" were an hour without power while the utility crews repaired the blown transformer.
However, our eggs for sale sign suffered damages last night by a careless driver. Around 11pm we heard tires squealing and rushed outside to make sure there wasn't another mishap with our utility pole. Thankfully there wasn't, but our egg sign was damaged and there were ruts through our yard and the neighbor's yard. Looks like someone was a bit reckless (and speeding) and lost control. This time the weather wasn't to blame.
One of the major disadvantages of living along a major highway (besides the out-of-control drivers - hey, OSP, can't you do something about that?) is the occasional passerby who absolutely positively cannot hold onto their trash one moment longer and MUST get it out of the car THIS VERY MINUTE. The soda cans, beer bottles, fast food bags - all end up in our yard. Sometimes I really don't understand people who have no problems tossing a bag of trash out along the highway. Oh, and to the person whose underwear ended up in my yard - stay classy, girl.
