A bucket and a half of stuff knocked down by the Nor'easter, plus a small pile o branches. I'll bag it all and then start leaf-blowing.

There were a plethora of reasons that I stopped shopping at Target a year and a half ago, and closed my account last winter. Day late, dollar fucking short, asshats.
@TargetNews from X.com: An apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costure is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.

Rounds 4, 5 and 6: we had an additional ~ 5in snow overnight, so first clear the stairs and walk; second plow the paths, driveway and sidewalk. Round 5 was clear off and around the cars. Round 6 was punch through and clear the snow berm, which each side is now nearly 5 feet high.
