Yup, that's right, a dirt road. My commute is 3.9 miles (8 minutes), so I can't complain, but it is definitely different.

I don't believe in omens, but after 21 months of looking, there were 4 wild turkeys in the front yard when we drove up AND we went to see it on Neil's birthday. It might not be an omen, but it is a pretty cool story.
