No lawnmower pollution, less CO2 from the lawnmower operator, better water retention, less erosion, better wildlife habitat, etc.
I had a “word” with a neighbor of mine who had a habit of just “walking in” my house. He’s a good guy, but I explained to him that everybody here have personal weapons either ON them or within arms reach and to startle an occupant may not be the “safest” thing to do. We live in a rural place. He finally got the “hint” one night when he was walking around my back yard after dark. No joke...he’s a really good guy. One of the best neighbors I’ve ever had....and not a mean bone in his body. My wife spotted “somebody” out back from the kitchen window and it was nearly dark. That evening when he realized that three people were all within 20 yards with radios and guns, he got the “hint”. :-) I told him he should be grateful to my son who ID’d him from the back porch steps with a cope on top of a Remington M-700 custom (.308).... because in the low light, I couldn’t tell WHO he was. :-)
