I haven't really been in the mood to laugh lately.
It is my choice, I'm trying not to blame anyone.
But now and then someone does something that just makes you laugh and you don't even have time to realize that you aren't in the mood to laugh.
Layne and I were driving through town a couple evenings ago and we were in a part of town that was built in the 50's, I'd guess. The houses are smaller than the older ones and they are really close together. Needless to say, their lawns are like post stamps. Tiny.
So we saw this guy. Probably in his 30's. On a new, zero radius turn lawn mower on a lawn that MIGHT take 15 mintues to mow (front & back) with a push mower.
But the best part (the part that Layne pointed out to me after I busted up and said something) was that he was wearing his ball cap backwards. You know, so the wind doesn't blow it off.
No, it wasn't windy.
and
No, his mower couldn't get enough speed to blow his cap off before he was across the yard. He probably doesn't even completley let out the clutch before it is time to turn it around. (Those types of mowers probably don't have a clutch, but you get what I'm tyring to say.)
So, this made me laugh harder and I was happy for that.
I needed to laugh.
(Layne says that 'a man's got to do, what a man's got to do'. I don't really get that, but I do get the part about being too lazy to do something.....so I guess I wont judge. I'll just like him because he made me giggle.)
