Garbage Truck Catastrophe

Once the warm weather showed up and the snow started to melt and then re-freeze over night, our yard quickly became a very nice skating rink. On Friday, February 15th, 2008, the garbage man and his big truck just couldn't handle it and became stuck in our yard.

Back up was called and came about 15 minutes later. It took some skilled driving and a really big tow chain, but soon enough the garbage man was on his way.

Rural life is so exciting!


This is the truck stuck. That is our garbage man in the picture directing the other guy.
