i'm guessing the problem might be the mower throwing up
rocks, etc. it shouldn't be too hard to arrange alternative

If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest (WI, IA, MN, MI, and anyone else) list, largely rural issues, please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

It's wonderful. I remember Alvin Straight. I also remember an old geezer ticked for DUI driving his lawn tractor on the sholder a few years ago. To the local bar, where else.

I see guys like this in Madison at least once a week, it never struck me as a big deal.

Maybe if he just did a few neighbors a favor and mowed a strip their lawns on his trips, they would have nothing to hassle him about. At least he'd be using the mower for it's intended purpose, even if it happened to be all the way to the store.

He could always sell it to George Jones...
