Set them out in your front yard and the neighbor kid will throw it through your picture window.

Exactly. The future holds a great deal of workout time with slingshots.

Do you suppose the author has even seen a marble? The biggest of them weren’t that big. Maybe another name would be better.

Surely children can get hurt with such a dangerous activity. Better stay inside wearing masks and staring at computer screens. /s

LOL. I love it!! Great idea. That said, I would rather sweep blowing sand than shovel snow. Have lived thru countless blizzards and freezing temps in years past. Those gorgeous marbles will make for a lot of happy for someone. I’ll watch the videos. ☺️

Nice post.

Last week I hung Christmas lights with a plastic white picket fence around our terrace and then a high wind storm came through and trashed the fence. The lights were alright because they are attached to the metal rail. I had extra sections of fence and fixed it.
