The New Hotness

Attacking a plastic wheelbarrow with a ¾ inch hole saw prevents it from becoming a mosquito breeding station:

We had been storing it tipped to one side, resulting in the wheel filling up with water, which can’t be a Good Thing.

If it must carry a load of sand, I’ll just duct-tape the holes.

One of Mary’s friend looked at, but did not order, this wheelbarrow on Amazon. Shortly thereafter, she received a wheelbarrow in two packages: the handles and a box with everything else strapped into the barrow. After a discussion with Amazon’s support / help staff, she was told to just keep it at no charge.

Over the next few weeks, she received five more wheelbarrows, each prompting a discussion and keeping them at no charge. Eventually, somebody figured out how to stop the stream.

So half a dozen gardeners now have free wheelbarrows, courtesy of a glitch in The Machine.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
