Snow is gone

At the request of a former manager of mine which I'll leave unnamed (you know who you are), I thought I would post an entry to this blog. No pictures though cause nothing in the house has changed.

One topic I haven't brought up in quite a while is the commute. I think I've actually gotten used to it. Took some time but overall the 35 to 40 minute commute is turning out better than I thought. I think I deserve a pat on the back. Okay, I did rant quite a bit about it so maybe a pat is too much. Then again, this week is March Break and the # of cars on the road has dropped significantly.

Anyways, the snow has melted in our area which is a miracle because at some points, I thought the snow would stay on the ground year-round. Yes, really. All we need now is some green grass. All this dirt, brick, and stone is taking away from the picturesque Oak Ridges Moraine. Yeah, whatever ... this coming from a person who just moved into a house that required the removal of many trees in an area considered to be environmentally sensitive. That's okay, I recycle so that should compensate. Wait ! I don't because I still haven't picked up my blue box yet. Okay, I recycle at work. That should count for something.

Getting back to the snow, along with the white stuff disappearing comes the noticeable sinking of the driveway. It seems that the constant driving in and out of the garage has caused the gravel and dirt to sink below the garage entrance due to the warm weather. Over the weekend, I had to move some stones over to the edge of the garage so that I could drive into my garage without having to scrape the bottom of the car bumper. The funny thing was that I don't own a garden shovel so I used a snow shovel. Yes, it looked stupid since there was no snow around and here I am holding a snow shovel. Our next door neighbour did see me with the shovel and managed to say hi but never mentioned anything about the shovel. Okay, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Anyways, this post is getting nowhere so I'll end it here....
