My mechanic Tony over at Bams Service Station on Kraft Aveneue topped that today. He told me that another village resident lost a nearly new Lexus AND a Mercedes.

The Indians were smart. They always made sure to create their hunting paths above the rivers and off the coastlines. A good example is the Boston Post Road, which was originally an Indian trail. Notice something? It ever floods.
