Making your mark:
As the new kid on the block, quite literally in fact, it’s my sworn duty to be ‘uppity’ when it comes to shovelling snow. As such, our driveway and sidewalk has been the first on the street to be cleaned each and every morning this past week.
I might have frozen my hands off the first two mornings, until I found my gloves hidden inside a poster-tube in my stuff from the USA, and I might not have been as fast (from start to finish) as the old veteran two houses down with the snowblower — cheater — but I sure as hell make the most damn racket at 7am with the help of the ice-chipper and metal snow shovel a friend gave us. Now all I need is a giant yellow chicken costume and I’ve got this neighbourhood beat.
