A few months ago when I first put my house on the market I was so optimistic that it would sell immediately that I gave my lawnmower to a friend who needed one, in exchange for a sushi dinner (which, it occurs to me, she never paid up - I wonder what the interest on a sushi dinner is?). Needless to say my house still has not sold, and in the interim I have cultivated an incredibly interesting assortment of small trees in my front yard. There are corn fields nearby that are more stunted.
So I buckled down and bought a push mower from Amazon. For 45$ I got one of those old-school ones without a motor that you push around. Let me tell you something, this thing is so friggin' cool. I don't have a huge yard, so it's perfect for me, and it's a decent workout to boot. Best part: no emissions. And it was made in the USofA (American brand, bitches) so the terrists don't win.
Green + AntiTerrist = I'm trendy as a mother fucker.
