Have Shovel Will Travel

I am back. I did survive the weekend (obviously since I posted yesterday...then again, I could have set it up to post in the future.....if that is indeed the case, then I am posting this in the past, so it is like I am able to travel back in time,.......in my fucking DeLorean). I got to do a fair bit of shoveling, driving and more shoveling.

It is looking like a white Christmas, just like last year. I am hoping we can break the snowfall record, then do it all again for rain in the summertime. I actually had to mow the lawn this summer. With all that rain, it could do nothing but grow. The summer before last, with little rain, the grass shuts down, turns brown and I can "mow" it by tossing a lit match on it. I then cook some marshmallows. It is a whole lot of fun...burning your front lawn. The firefighters actually get into the party spirit as they tend to arrive in full uniform. It is cool.

So, it was a shovel-tastic weekend. Shoveled out on Friday, shovel the new snow Saturday and Sunday, and then to top it off, shovel my aunt out of my mother's driveway. It is a boring story, but I could not have my 71 year old mother or my 75 year old aunt shovel themselves out of the driveway, so I did it. I am such a good person!

I did read a story where a Saudi court has denied a divorce to a girl who is 8 years old. In their infinite wisdom (sic)(it was an arranged marriage), according to Saudi judges, she was capable of entering (or have her father enter her into) a marriage but not capable of choosing a divorce. Boggles the mind. Love the Arab hypochrisy, they are so damn good at it.

So, let me get this straight....in Saudi Arabia, pedophilia can be condoned, but a minor divorcing is not okay. Fuck, I am not sure whether to scream....or move there.

Well, have a good evening. Ciao!
