Random stories from younger days August 9, 2007
Posted by Aaron in : Life , trackbackA story has surfaced from the depths of my memory of a time when I tamed jungles… with a mulching mower. One jungle in particular stands out, the only one that does really of the 6(maybe?) regular lawns I had in kansas city. I was walking the streets around our house looking for lawns that clearly needed work. We spotted one that looked like it hadn’t been mowed yet that summer. I am pretty sure the grass was as high as my knees. It was perhaps the hardest lawn I mowed in those years, I remember it was pretty hot when I did it too. I didn’t charge the woman as much as I should have, but she paid me more than I asked for, every time I mowed it actually. One of her sons had recently graduated from the high school I was going to. Apparently he didn’t think I was that bad either (or he just felt sorry for the white kid) he asked one day if anyone was hassling me there, offered to have some friends “deal with it”. Tempted though I was I didn’t name any problems by name. I think I mowed that womans lawn every summer after that first one until we moved.
Anyway, enough random story telling, to bed!
