Looking back, my life has not been what I always want it to be. After a heart-breaking divorce, I went on a path of self destruction. I started drinking heavily and using drugs as a way to numb the pain. Finally I had a wake up call. As I got in to some legal trouble. It opened my eyes to all the things I may have lost if I continued living my life that way. I then decided to turn my life around and go back to school. I obtained my P.H.D. and then have since found a new wife and job.
Extreme winds ravage the farm and Napoleon blames the destruction on Snowball.
