Slice: Does mowing ever stop?
In his Slice column today, Paul Turner comments:
Perhaps it is my imagination.
But it seems to me that once lawn-mowing season begins in earnest, the sound of grass being cut never really ceases to be heard.
Oh, OK. I suppose if you were to step out on to your porch at 3 a.m., you would not hear mowing. But otherwise, it seems nearly constant until fall.
So here’s my question: How can that be?
Sure, sound carries. And it’s possible to hear mowers from quite a distance. But how can there be that much mowing?
Maybe my extended neighborhood is obsessed with mowing. I’d invite you over to check it out for yourself. But you might have to shout to be heard. More here.
