Lawns are weird. I’m not sure why most people have one. They don’t seem to be fully utilized all that often. We water them just to mow them down. On top of that, we could be growing food, not some pesky weed. In fact, we could just grow dandelions and other edible “weeds”–they’re highly nutritious. But we hate dandelions in this culture.

Having said that, I actually enjoy mowing the lawn. Not with one of those noisy, polluting gas mowers but with a push mower. Now, that, my friends, is some good, clean fun. It’s somehow meditative and a damn good workout. Not that it’s all that hard, mind you. The push mower I used looks ancient, but it cut that grass down like nobody’s business.

Take that, grass!
