the ticket guardian

after a wonderful trip to CO, members of the Hancock Faction pulled into their snow-filled driveway to find this:


The amazing Ticket Guardian.

Apparently this diligent totem mysteriously appears and prevents eager Brookline Policemen from issuing tickets to those who don't shovel their sidewalks after a storm. Fortunately, he took up residence in our driveway after the big snowfall that hit Boston while we were away and unable to shovel ourselves. It turns out that if you are particularly nice to the snow gods, the Ticket Guardian will not only dissuade the police from ticketing, but actually shovel the sidewalk to prevent any trouble.

Thanks to Lennie and Rick for providing a warm hat and scarf to keep the snowman warm while he watches over the hancock compound.
