Introducing the iShovel

There must have been a hefty contingent
of Minnesotans on the iPod design team cause it’s the perfect device for Minnesota winters. It transforms the task of shoveling your walk and your 95 year-old neighbors walk from arduous into a wondrous rock opera. Plug in. Download. Shovel.

We got dumped on pretty heavy yesterday. A ton more snow than the supposed ‘Storm of the Century’ that was to occur a few weeks ago. This storm of course was vastly underplayed by the weather people. They mentioned ‘a polite dusting, a few inches at most’. I’m done watching the local weather forecasters. I could do a better job locked in my basement with blindfolds on.

One thing is certain, if this impossible snow fall continues all winter, my shits going to be buff, ripped, solid and stacked come spring.

My appreciation for Minnesota winters has increased 100 fold now that I don’t have to commute in it. Saddly, while the misses is stuck in an hour-long coummute to work, I’m smoking cigarettes on the screened-in porch and enjoying the silence that comes from natures own acoustic cushion. I think if we were a more civilized people, no one would have to go to work when it snows more than an inch or two. There’s no need for a Minnesota pride that stubbornly scoffs at a foot of snow. Give in to natures victory.
