At first glance I thought you were having a laugh Moose , but indeed why not. It makes pretty good sense. I have to confess that I'd seen the Swiss grill before I saw your snow blower idea ! I am still puzzling over how the fire-ants get stuck in the trap (I thought they could form bridges and stuff , but maybe that's South American soldier ants/leaf cutters or something).

There must be huge potential for garden gadgets. Gadgets have an intrinsic appeal , so the idea of Backyard Solar Gadgets is a good way to promote interest in Solar.

I shall return here with any interesting links that catch my eye.
