No good deed goes unpunished.

Wanna bet the job to cut the grass is a union job? Can’t be putting union workers out of work by volunteering to do something for free.

With reverse inspiration from Life After People, I engaged in some entropy reduction yesterday. A nearby house has been unoccupied and on the market since late last fall. The lovely desert landscaping had been overrun by 4- to 5-foot tall desert weeds.

Seeing nothing happening for weeks, I just got fed up. To get some morning exercise, I went over and started pulling weeds and removing palm fronds that had fallen on the property. After an hour it started looking pretty good. A passerby suggested I should have called the city, but that would have been a likely way to invoke punishment. They probably would have written up a complaint about my yard.
