The joys of a small yard.

I have 100ft cord, and it's way more than enough. That damn cord does get in the way sometimes though.

5. Looking back at my childhood, I now see the importance of

physical labour; a hand mower. It keeps a person wrought and fit and yummy in the sack. :D

15. I was driving home from work Friday night and saw the

sign at both corner gas stations had changed from $2.38 to $2.78 in 12 hours. Yesterday morning they were both back to $2.15..... it's enough to make you nuts. Sounds like time for a little protest. I for one am driving less!!!!!!

17. We should invest in some goats for the lawn and hire some repukes

to pull us to and from work in rickshaws for way cheaper than it would be to drive a car. I'm sure that many of them could use the extra bucks to pull us around, since they didn't get anywheres near the tax breaks this year they thought they were going to get from the chimp.
