Has anyone else out there in inter-net-land been getting annoyed with having to shovel the sidewalks every day for the past week. I most certainly have been. Unfortunately I cannot really offer you a cure for this, but perhaps I can offer a treatment or two. I’m sure anyone who has sidewalks to clear has already realized that downing a few Blue Beavers beforehand helps make the task a little more pleasant. Another possibility you could try is to offer your neighbour a case of Beaver if he’ll shovel your walks when he does his. Of course if this works, he might show up on your doorstep in a couple of days, case of beer in hand and ask you to return the favour. I know it’s pretty tough to pass up free Blue Beaver even if you have to "earn" it. But maybe if you’re lucky he’ll cheap out and try to bribe you with a lesser brand. Then you can legitimately act insulted and tell him to shovel his own snow.
