The snow arrived today- about 4-5 inches of lake effect heavy, wet snow. It's time to have beefy snow tires installed.

I have heard of places where, in order to reduce violent crime, police departments stage 'gun buy back' programs. They give people a cash incentive to turn in their guns, thus reducing the numbers of weapons that may potentially be used in criminal activities.
Along this line of reasoning, I am thinking of holding the first annual 'Sherman Household Fake Spider Buy Back'. I am getting to the point that I may be willing to pay out cold, hard cash in return for fewer, or perhaps NO fake spiders circulating throughout my home. I wonder what a motivating price point would be?
