Thatta boy...

Possibly fearing for his safety and his legs, the fellow taking on the mess next door has abandoned the mower in favour of a heavy-duty weedwacker.

Did I ever mention that I suspect the old men have buried dead animal and human bodies in their yard? All of the weeds in the far back corner -- hardy Canadian types that stay green even through the early winter months -- have all died months ago.

Either that, or the old men have taken to using that corner as a toilet, as they don't have a working one inside the house.
