We live down a pipestem: that is, a long driveway that forks into our specific driveway and our neighbor's specific driveway.  It's nice to be removed from the street a bit, but fucking _sucks_ when it snows because its on us to shovel the whole thing.

Anyway, it's been a decade since both of our households moved in, and the asphalt (especially my neighbors') is in rough shape, so they've got some folks ripping it up and repaving...
