I hesitated. I knew snow was coming but honestly I didn't want to pay $20 for a shovel knowing full well I would problably never use it again. The last time it snowed more than 6 inches in Portland was something like 1964. So can you blame me?
This morning when we opened the door and snow fell INTO the house I decided to give up. I called the only hardware store within walking distance:
Guy:"True Value"
Me: "Hey! You're open yay!"
Guy: "yup"
Me:"So do you have any shovels?"
Guy:"::snort:: I wish."
Me:"::despondent sigh::"
Come to find out it's really rather difficult to shovel without a shovel. Mostly I swept off the top layer, kicked off the middle layer and then used my car ice scraper to clear to the pavement. Then my ice scraper broke. I probably should have used it on my car first and the pavement second. ::sigh again::
