plowed

as you recall, the county plow [and i use that term loosely] knocked our mailbox off the post about a minute and a half after we moved in two years ago. the mailbox that cost seventy dollars. and that almost got me divorced. last week before it snowed my husband placed orange marker sticks on the edge of the road. and in front of the mailbox. so what was left of it wouldn't get hit. again. a few days after he placed the sticks it snowed. and the plow came down our street. now, this driver either runs into your house or is seven feet from the edge of the road. on any give day. and it varies as he travels down the street. after the first run i looked out and notice he hit an orange marker. just the first one. it lay broken. in a pile of snow. later in the day, i went to run errands. upon my return i noticed that plowed guy ran up into the lawn of the house on our corner. about ten feet. not once. not twice. but three times. in three different places. and after that he ran into one of our good neighbor's yards three feet in before then running over our first orange marker. i'm not sure why it's so difficult to operate this tractor with a plow. i mean, look at how straight a farmer can plow a field. maybe he just needs a bigger tractor. or hire a farmer. in the off season.
