The first house I bought back in Muscoda, Wisconsin was on Front Street, which was a main street in and out of town, and it had a "side walk" in front facing the street. So, first winter I was there, we got the first big snow, and I always came and went through the back door because my driveway entered from the street behind the house, so I never really gave the front a thought, anyway, three days went by, and I got a letter from the village. It was a BILL for $50 for SNOW REMOVAL off the "side walk" in front! I was ******* PISSED! So, from then on, every time it snowed, I took my 3/4 ton Chevy 4X4 with an eight and half foot Western Hydro Turn snow plow on it, and drove it right down the whole ******* side walk plowing not only my side walk, but the other four houses that were on the same block too. I made good friends that winter of my neighbors. They loved it.
I paid the fifty bucks, but that was the ONLY ******* time.
