As some may know, I at times pride myself on my gift giving ability. I do not always hit home runs, but I generally put a considerable amount of thought into gifts. Given this, I must give props to my mother.<\/p>\n

Last year, the east coast experienced “snowpocalypse.” (It was really east coasters just overcomplaining.)<\/em> Anyway, the university shut down one day before a storm. I for some reason thought it would then be a good idea to drive to work. Well, snowpocalypse happened and my car got buried in snow at work. I had to dig it out only with an ice scraper. I got back to my apartment, and then had to dig my way into a spot. In a nutshell, this experience sucked.<\/p>\n

My mother learned of this, and she got me a fantastic gift for Christmas. It is a snow shovel<\/a> that disassembles into three pieces and goes into a small bag. It takes up very little trunk space and was exactly what I needed.<\/p>\n

Well, Princeton got hit heavy by snow again last night. My friend Scott asked for help digging out his car. Since SLU v. GW<\/a> is Saturday, I will need my car this weekend. So we dug out mine too. And that shovel did the trick.
