- - - - - Rove, Lawns, and Puppies - - - - -
I could comment on Rove/Plame/NY Times.
Nahh...been covered ad nauseum.
I could comment on London Muslims, right?
Nahh...been covered ad nauseum.
How's about lawns?
The Swamp sits on an acre. The Swamp House takes up maybe 1/8 acre. The other 7/8 needs to be cut with a lawn mower from time to time.
When we bought the Swamp from an anal-retentive math major employed by the US Navy, included with the house was a mighty Craftsman LTX 1000 - which is an over-sized lawn mower with a seat - a "ride-on mower".
We call it "the tractor", much to the amusement of our next-door neighbor.
Jacob is a Kansas hay-seed who thinks a "real tractor" is just a bit larger, and more capable than my mighty, snorting (farting?) Craftsman LTX 1000. Of course, Jacob IS an Annapolis graduate, and an engineering officer on one of the boomers at King's Bay.
Lissen up - it's a tractor!
So, today, I spent a sweaty and dirty hour cutting the lawn with my mighty, snorting (farting?) Craftsman LTX 1000. That little dude has a cup-holder on the left-hand side, just right for a bottle of water. Or beer. Or soda.
Guess which one OWW picked? (Burrrrrrp!)
And Tiny, our Vicious Beast, barked and yelled and snarled at The Tractor the whole time.
