Dear Mother Nature, I am writing to you in regards to delivery issues with my recent orders for snow. On Saturday, January 2, 2021 I received your shipment of slush. As you can see in your records, I requested pure snow. Not that snow and rain slush you sent me, which I might add has […]

Well Asa’s day is off to a disappointing start. In the wee hours of the morning Asa awoke filled with excitement.
