How did the photographer GET that picture?" border="0" width="15" height="15" />
If he was smart with a telephoto lens. If he wasn't he got buried which wouldn't be the first time.
Who knows, I may have a reason to take you up on that offer!

We got down on the floor in case something came through the windshields. It put a 1" deep gouge down one side of the carbody. RWM

Thanks for the information and dedication! If you ever have questions about Hotel & Restaurant operations. YOu know who to ask..
Okay. Call me jaded, but I missed the "amazing" bit. After replacing the shear pins on my snowthrower, all the photo reminds me of is the last few days of plowing the driveway…
