Just wanted to chime in and say the kitten thing is just an old meme.  "Every time you x, y kills a kitten" is the "proper" form.  where x and y are replaced with what you're talking about.

Just a figure of speech to say something is bad.  

Language is always evolving, this particular phrase is >10 years old now, most popular amongst techie Americans in their thirties, I'd say.

To me it seems highly preferable to move on your own time schedule instead of being forced to do so when something outside your control changes. So I'd say moving now sounds advisable, while it's still your choice.

Do you have a latitude you don't want to be above? Or maybe a minimum winter solstice day length? That might help with the suggestions about where to move.

I us one of these all the time for digging post holes. I usually just use 3/4 inch threaded pipe and a coupler to extend it when needed. I'm curious as to why you chose to cut the original pipe instead of just unscrewing it. Does yours not unscrew? Wondering if I should consider doing the same more than questioning you.

I've had some luck sharpening the blades with a file getting it to wear through soft rock like sandstone. Not harder stuff, and it's a lot of work and you have to resharpen often.
