I can't talk about mowers. One summer between semesters in college, I was doing landscaping for the local Park & Rec. I was mowing a big patch of grass on an island between two roads, and when I reached a corner of the triangle, the mower kicked up from the lack of flat grass under it, and then it came down on my big toe. I had to be rushed to a doctor and have it bandaged up; the nail was mostly a goner.

As if that wasn't enough, at the time, I was also starring in a community theater production of Babes In Arms, which involves a lot of dancing and comic movement. I had to do the last weekend of the show with a cane, and rethink all my stage movement on the fly since I could no longer dance in place in each number.

Mow? NO!

My grandpa had one of those and he let me mow with it sometimes. Now I have a zero turn, and I ain't never going back. I have two acres to mow, and the side of the road. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I have an acre and I use a push mower with a 21" deck. My excuse is that I'm crazy. And cheap. And still young enough to be able to do it. Just barely.

When I was in high school, they did "Harvey" one year and the guy played the lead, the Jimmy Stewart character, broke his leg and had to do the show in a huge cast. The next year they cast understudies for every single role.
