Who am I...But at least it's flat, isn't it? Who am I kidding? You're in Indiana. Of COURSE, it's flat. I swear our next car is going to have 4-wheel drive. I HATE being stranded at home when the weather gets bad, because we live on a hill. In a historic neighborhood with narrow streets. And some expensive cars parked on them.<br /><br />Can COW parallel park? Because my husband can't, and I think it goes hand-in-hand with the inability to drive in reverse.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-49762611599237270302013-12-19T23:14:40.128-05:002013-12-19T23:14:40.128-05:00The thaw has begun, thank goodness.
