Chain store silliness – it’s still Winter in the Yukon!

I went down to Canadian Tire yesterday, thinking about buying a snowblower – shovels just can’t keep up with the white crap this year in the many places that my truck-mounted plow can’t get to. What did I find instead? The front of the store is jammed with barbecues, deck chairs, cabanas, gardening supplies and other such nonsense!

It must be almost Spring in Ontario where their head office is, but come on folks, we’re many weeks away from thinking about that – Yukoners are still shopping for log-splitters and snowblowers.

The photo below shows my back yard a few minutes ago – it’s -15°, snowing and windy, and the berms around the deck are almost 6 feet high. Does that look like I might want a new patio set?!?!
