Snow blows and so does my nose
Spent time today shipping out stuff. I had purchased some stuff out of a Wally_world discount bin about a year ago. The little women picked on me that I was wasting my money or something like that. Well today I sold it on EBay at roughly 5 times the money. I just had to wait a little for some nut to purchase them.
Darn cold here also, but I do have to say this. When I get up in the morning, one of the neighbors is out with his blade and he's cleaning the road out front. Then he goes to work. Around 9:30am I go for my coffee and read the papers. Then I wander back home around 11am-12am. That's when I find that the other neighbor has blown out the driveway for me.
I park my truck and walk out to the mailbox without once lifting a shovel. Once I'm inside, I sit by the window, read the credit request junk and watch the county blade any new snow-dust off the road again.
If I could only get the little women to place my slippers on my feet I'd feel like I had it made.

Darwin award winners in 2007 are as follows
"Gravity still works."
(28 July 2007, Czech Republic) A pack of thieves attempted to steal scrap metal from an abandoned factory in Kladno. Unfortunately for them, they selected the steel girders that supported the factory roof. When the roof supports were dismantled, the roof fell, fatally crushing two thieves and injuring three others.
(21 June 2007, Philippines) Three entrepreneurs planned to profit from stolen scrap metal.
They entered a former US military complex and approached the prize: an abandoned water tank. Bedazzled by the potential upside, the three threw logic to the wind, and began to cut the metal legs out from under the tank. Guess where it fell? Straight onto the thieves. Their flattened bodies have not yet been identified.
(31 July 1997) Two teens were disassembling an electric tower with wrenches when it toppled to the ground. They apparently wanted to sell its aluminium supports for scrap, but
they failed to realize the essential role the aptly named "support" plays in a 160-foot tower. One of the men was crushed by the collapse of the ten-thousand-pound tower, while the other dug himself out from under, a sadder but wiser man from his close brush with a Darwin Award.
