So, we get home tonight.. Looks like 10" or so of new snow in our 770' long driveway. Then we see car tracks. Sarah says "Oh, I bet your mom & dad came over and turned up our heat for us." Then we see tracks from someone walking. In drive… Hmm ok.. Then, there it was! The gift I asked #Santa to get me! A real, honest to God #USPS delivery truck! #GrummanLLV I was so excited. I can't wait to get it out for surveillance! …… #SIG #ProfessionalInvestigator #PrivateInvestigator #PI #LateChristmasGift …… What in the hell was this delivery person thinking? LOL You have to know the limits of the vehicle you're driving… No, a Grumman is not a tank. And yes, our driveway is steep on both the front and back, but seriously… You try driving a Grumman down our driveway w 10" of snow? Now, friends and family say our driveway is sketchy, but we've never had a problem in 11.5 years. And just put in a new driveway this November. But even with nearly $20k widened driveway, you can't create common sense for people. …. …. #Michigan #MI #PureMichigan #Snow
