  • I got soaked at the Orange Apron tonight.

    My wife and I stopped by the local Orange Apron to pick up a few things. While there, I thought to look at their snow blowers, since mine is not working well. They only had a few models on display, so we stepped out into the garden area to see if they had some more. They didn’t.

    While we were out there, we saw a bunch of snow shovels for sale. Since our snow shovels are very old, and showing much wear, we decided to buy some new ones. After selecting a couple from the display, my wife noticed a stack of Snoboss snow shovels on a nearby shelf, about 5-6 feet off the ground.

    I reached up to get one.

    As I picked it up, I thought to myself “This is a heavy shovel” and gave it a heave.

    I got drenched.

    It was heavy because it was full of water. There was no roof over that area, and the recent rains had filled it with water. As I picked it up, the water cascaded out of the shovel and down the front of my jacket and pants.

    I didn’t buy one of those.

      The snow was already melted! I want an unused shovel!

        That's why I hate buying brand new mirrors in the store.

          Absolutely, that's why I didn't buy it. It held too much. After using if for a few minutes, my back would go out and never come back.
