On a more serious note, we're marking a 14 year anniversary at Dog Corner Cottage. On this very day in 1998, our oil company overfilled our oil tank by at least(they never would admit to the actual amount) 275 gallons of home heating fuel. Our lives would never be the same for the next year plus. Eleven months living in a 60 ft mobile home in our driveway and a year of blood sweat and tears to get our house back to the way it was. The legal contingent made the $, not us, but we were able to save our homestead and our sanity, just barely. The house was raised just a bit on cribbing while they removed 15 feet of oil and soil from underneath and around. It was a nightmare, every moment was fraught with some new impending and impossible to imagine calamity. We actually rode out an autumn hurricane in the mobile home with the help of lots of wine and friends. When all was said and done, we changed to gas heat. Now as a friend then said, we just have to wear parachutes to bed.
