DID YOU KNOW? ❄️
Shoveling heavy, wet snow can put extra strain on your heart, especially in cold temperatures. Cold weather narrows blood vessels, and intense exertion can increase the risk of heart attacks and serious medical emergencies.
Stay safe while clearing snow:
✅ Push snow when possible, avoid heavy lifting
✅ Take frequent breaks and pace yourself
✅ Warm up and stretch before heading outside
✅ Know your limits: if you have a history of heart disease, consider asking for help
If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath while shoveling, call 911 immediately.
Hopefully, the worst of the snow is behind us. But a little caution goes a long way! ... See MoreSee Less

Super Bowl Sunday 🏈 is a popular night for parties which means alcohol will be consumed like milk in an elementary school cafeteria. Let’s get the designated driver off the bench and on the field of play. If you can’t get a designated driver, call a cab or get one of those uber lyfters to pick you up. My prediction for the game: Seahawks 2 Patriots 0. For the puppy bowl, a corgi runs it in for a late touchdown as a weiner dog( always wanted to put weiner in a post) misses a goal line tackle.
Update: I was advised the puppy bowl was played earlier today and no one actually knows who won because it’s just a bunch of puppies acting like puppies. ... See MoreSee Less
