No title

I am scrambling around, trying to think of something to post. I am after all, the worst at daily postings. (As if the faithful cannot tell...) But here's a good topic for me to express my views: the lawnmower. Now, of course, many families in the United States own them, and so does mine. I am not much for yardwork, though. I like to leave that to my parents. But my parents' lawn in their new "home" is a 4 foot by 12 foot plot of land with a drop off behind their apartment. So that leaves me to tend to their full sized yard in Hays, America. I really like grass and yards when they look nice, but that is the biggest problem right now. Ours looks not so great. And do you want to know why? Do you really want to know why, pal? It's because of the lawnmower. Ours, much to my dismay, is not a key ignition kind of start. Nope, it's the good ole pull string. And, honestly, I just don't have the strength to pull it to start the silly thing. And calling my pop in NM crying doesn't seem to help either. Then comes Sam to the rescue, I hope. Lawnmowing is one of his most amazing skills. And while I wait for him to come home and help me out, I think I'll just push our lawnmower unstarted over the 9 inch tall grass, just to make sure that it will still cover them. That is, as long as I still have time to blog.

    I'm not sure that our clippers would last... Now, in the Dominican Republic, work teams used machetes to chop down the weeds. That I could handle...until I threw my machete down and slice my leg open like my friend Brandon did. Maybe it's not such a good idea.
