Get an electric. I have electric mower, blower and string trimmer. Don’t get enough snow for an electric snow blower, but it beats dealing with the gas, oil and plug problems. Also, you don’t have to pull the rope to start them. Just keep the batteries charged.
Postal service has deteriorated lately. Mail is delivered late a lot, sometimes not at all. This is a city with around 80,000 people. We have a very large post office that was recently built, but the mail service was changed so that all mail is sent to another post office 75 miles away to be processed there.
Unless they’ve escaped from Leopold’s lab.
