It&#8217;s now covered in snow in my driveway. Do you think I should have the guys from AAA come up and put the chains on? It&#8217;s pretty expensive&#8230;&#8221; Clearly desperate measures must be taken, so I asked, &#8220;Do you like soup?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think she&#8217;s gonna be stuck up here for a while, but what a place to be stuck in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; bob<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends, The weather swells on TV mentioned a little something about how something might&#8217;ve happened in my little burg over the last couple days.
