[il-talk] Using A Snow Blower

[dick scholl]

If I were doing it by myself I would not know if I was on the grass.  I
found neighborhood kids are hard to find.  Shoveling snow causes heart
attacks.  We sold our snow blower so the only thing we have to do is chop
ice.  And we have had several days with freezing rain so the ice is quite
thick.  I must tell you that with the weather this winter we have discussed
moving to florida but summers are really unbareable down their.  Are you
going to Vegas for the convention we are.  Just prepare yourself for
expensive meals.  The days of cheap meals in vegas are long gone.

Thanks -- in the long run it is probably easier to hire a 
neighborhood kid, but exploring my options.  As I get older, the old 
shovel gets harder and harder!
