    My neighbor is insane or brilliant.

    I came home from the post office last week and my neighbor was shoveling snow from his yard into his garage. In my 56 years I'd never seen this and assumed he was insane. We both kind of think that about each other anyway. So I walked over and asked him what in God's name he was doing.

    He told me he had the exact same look on his face when he first saw his dad doing this. Push the snow around in the garage for a few minutes with a broom and then push it out into the driveway. The garage floor is clean. by winter standards anyway.

    It's a few degrees above freezing today so I just gave it a shot and all the road dirt muck and salt that came in from the cars is gone.

    A real forehead slapper! Makes sense after the fact.

      That is definitely thinking outside the box! Or garage, or INSIDE it! Or something!
