Apparently if it’s after February you can’t buy a shovel in Michigan, at least around me. I broke my other good one with the last ridiculous snow we had and with another 8 inches on the ground I had to do something about it. So yesterday after work I went to the hardware store near me to get a snow shovel. Nothing fancy, just a good normal snow shovel. They were sold out. I tried another home improvement center: nothing. Then another. Then WalMart. I ended up trying five different stores (4 of them quite large) and they did not have any snow shovels.

Their garden centers were however stocked with lawn seed and fertilizer. Awesome.

My sister was good enough to come over with a couple shovels from my parents house and give me a hand. I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do with another 10 inches projected for this weekend.

Spring please.
