I always thought that it was a terrific idea invented by someone that never saw snow before, but did manage to see a snow plow attached to a motorized vehicle. Looks useful but is always disappointing. Perhaps Superman could push them through a foot of wet snow, but I was lacking one or two crucial muscles to make it happen.Yes, any of the wheeled, push shovels are great -- but only if the snow is light. Most of the time here, it's not, except for this particular storm -- it's fluffy and white!!Can't wait to go out and play in it this afternoon, once the snow stops. There will be a LOT of snow to move today.
I guess now I feel grateful because I noted and even said to someone the other day how impressed I was in how quickly everything got delivered this year. Even things I had to return via UPS were moved and processed at warp speed. I'm surprised that other places are having difficulties with that. It seems like if something is "sitting" in one place for over two weeks that something more sinister has happened and it would be wise to maybe reorder it.The whole delivery system (regardless of private or mail delivery service) is wacko this holiday season. They are ALL completely overwhelmed by the demand. And I know there is a system in place for "hubs" or whatever, that various packages go to, before they arrive at the address.
However, it is funny to me, to read the history of the tracking online. For example, sent a small package (sweatshirt) to my bro in N.C. (So, that's MA to N.C.) Now, my local post office sent it to a hub (or whatever) up in Portland, Maine. (O.k. guys, that's north of here . . .). Then a day after that, they sent it to a hub down in Connecticut. (Getting there . . . ) About 3-4 days after that (with various other locations), it arrived at his house in N.C.
I'm still trying to figure out -- does it make sense to send a package to a southern state, NORTH to Portland, Maine first?
Looks like it might work on a dry light dusting of snow but heavy deep wet snow don' think it would work at all. Wish I had a quarter (inflation) for all the snow I shoveled as a kid.
You know you have to post picturesYes, any of the wheeled, push shovels are great -- but only if the snow is light. Most of the time here, it's not, except for this particular storm -- it's fluffy and white!!
We watched Mulan last night during dinner, and then the kids and I started Godmothered while we worked on a puzzle. We couldn't finish it though because E still had school this morning so I sent her to bed and told her we'd watch the rest later. It's cute so far!
I can understand why. Belle has a rare condition called pododermatitis. Basically, it makes her paws crack terribly when she has it. This vet was the one who worked with us to get her healthy again after two other vets failed. She also didn't try to push unnecessary stuff on us just because "Oh she's due for it, let's run expensive test xyz".
That is a lot to report, but the like is for the jazz collection. Tell me more about that, or where I can find info on it.
The main road is "passable" but we still can't get to it and may not be able to until tomorrow
We only had the lights blink once and interweb was down for about an hour or 2. Pretty good considering how bad it was for a while I think the new high powered blowers pointed at Boston helped
