[Nfbmt] orientation & snow shoveling of sidewalks

[d m gina]

I have a sidewalk broom,
learned about it threw a friend on serotek.
I don't remember where I got it though sense it has been with us for 
quite some time.
It is wide from left to rite.
Almost reminds me of what is used on the windows of a car.
Except a broom.
