It was funny watching my boys ice skate on lawns all over the neighborhood. The governor shut down the state for several days as far as vehicle traffic (except emergency vehicles) on the streets and roads.



We were OK, till I ran out of cigarettes and whisky -



So, I fired up my dirt bike and took to the ditches heading for the country store, which was about a mile away. I knew they would be open because they lived up over the store.



I scored the essential items and rode/slid back home.
