The coolest broom ever

The guys who sweep the streets here use these great brooms--not weenie pre-fab brooms, but huge brooms made with twigs (kind of like what you see witches use). Someone told me the ones they use are actually hand-made so they're hard to find, but a couple of weeks ago we were in the nearby town of Laufen and there in front of a hardware store was one of those brooms for sale! So of course I immediately had to buy it. Definitely my best purchase here so far...
