that grass is awful long, you crazy fucking tart

I surrender to the whims of the crazy people I live with every day.

I had to do training in Great Village today, it's off the beaten track by a little bit... quaint but backroadsyishtick. In order to get where I was going, I had to take a detour down a road with a few houses along it.

As I drove up the road, I had to slow down to let a lady and her lawnmower move over. She was mowing the road. I stopped and waited as she mowed the road. This was freshly paved ashphalt she was mowing. I was perplexed.

I looked a little closer and I guess she had mowed the roadside, but had the mower output pointed at the road, so all the grass clippings were on the new ashphalt. So what she did was mow the road, effectively blowing all the clippings back off onto the side.

I guess it was clever, but I think she was slightly touched. Wierd shit goes out of its way to get in my path.

Not that I don't enjoy every minute of it. :)
