Was just driving down Westford road on my way home today. Quite a bit of debris about the place. Hoping everyone makes it home safe and sound!!!!    Brett

One of the school buses was stopped outside of my place for longer than usual.  He could not get by due to a downed tree.  I came back with my chainsaw and a passerby threw the chunks out of the way.  Happy ending bus is on it's way safe and sound.

Brett,

I have never seen him before & I have lived here most of my life.  He didn't blink an eye at the green aspen that I cut in four foot lengths.  He picked them up and tossed them like they were dry pine.  He went straight to work without a word and was on his way.

Isn't it strange how stressfull situations bring people together.  I lived in Manhattan for a short while and got hit with record snow. Shut the whole town down. It was the only time I saw stangers helping others. I hate to say it but most peopple were downright friendly!
