This cracked me up
The items on Freecycle, a network of sites for offering things you no longer want, are usually of the clothes or household-goods variety. But this week, a funny Freecycler in my neighborhood posted a different sort of free thing:
OFFER: SnowWe have plenty of extra snow. In our yard, on our cars, on our bushes. Good quality snowman snow! Clean, no yellow spots, and it's all yours if you want it, especially off the driveway and walkway! Let me know if you are interested.
Any takers?
Seriously, though, I think she's on to something. We should start marketing our snow to people in states that never get any. Though I'm thinking we might need to charge for the right to cart it off, or they'll think there's something wrong with it.
There: Snow removal problem AND budget crisis solved.

My wife submitted the same type of ad to Craigslist; it lasted about half an hour before Craigslist moderators removed it. I guess Craigslist folks don't have as much of a sense of humor........
