Don't you have a riding lawn mower for your acreage?

Our kids started out moving at age 10. At 12 they moved up to operating a small tractor and moving the pickup around the farm lots and in the cornfields during harvest. By age 15 they were operating large tractors.

And when they took Driver's Ed, they'd developed so many nasty driving habits, they struggled to get a B in Driver's Ed Class.

I learned to drive the same way IG - riding mower, to tractor, to a WW II jeep in the pasture, not the highway and finally to the family car.

When I saw there had been a gas explosion in NYC, I first thought "Well, both Clintons and Schumer live there - amazing it hasn't happened before." All three are HUGE gas bags!

We still use a push mower in our neck of the woods...

They're happy. Last year we got one with a motor.
