jhetleyGot out in the relative coolth of the morning (only mid-70s F) and mowed the back yard. With temperatures projected to mid-80s (+/- 29 C) and rising humidity, I felt this was a good alternative to heat stroke or myocardial infarction . . .
While working, heard a voice from the burning bush* approving of my ecological efforts, substituting sweat for gas as mower power. He also was powering a push mower in the misty morning. I had to explain to our rear neighbor that this was an emergency backup system, and that I anticipate returning to my wastrel ways when the other mower is fixed or replaced.
But for this morning, I display virtue. You may now, in your best snide Roddy McDowall voice, quote his role as Mordred: "Virtue is it's own reward."
*Or winged wahoo, an aggressive ornamental shrub that obscures our back fence and the World Beyond.
