It is Easter Sunday here and Bloomington and we soon will be mowing lawns. I have to get the mower running, tuned up, filters cleaned oil changed and blades sharpened. I use Honda mowers, good starters overall. One is for here in town and one is for the lake, about an acre and 1/2 to mow by hand. The hunting property lawn is farmed out until I get a shed built there and a ride-around mower.
I have to keep things mowed and trimmed, but it is hard to keep up with all these Scandinavian neighbors with their pristine, manicured lawns. But American has always been a country run by the common people, and if people want to take prime care of their homes and yards, their primary assets, then more power to them. Add a little self-realization and individual-living to that bourgeois culture, and the American Way can become one of international significance and sway.
