Don't Hit My Car!

There ought to be a law against people using weedwackers (line trimmers) to cut grass along the roadside.  Every time I pass by one of these accidents-waiting-to-happen I cringe.  Weedwackers turn stones and other harmless debris into airborne missiles.  Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I actually turn up my windows when I'm passing someone cutting grass with a weedwacker.  Of course that would do nothing to protect my car from the dings and dents that result from the flying projectiles.  I think lawnmowers are a lot safer although I'll admit there are some places you just can't use a lawnmower.  I also realize that people nowadays are a tad bit too lazy to cut grass with a machete the way my grandparents taught me.  So, I don't know what the alternative is.  I'm just saying, there ought to be a law.

Its Not Yet Christmas Time!

Sclaus18There ought to be a law against celebrating Christmas too soon.  Did you notice that we start celebrating Christmas earlier and earlier each year.   Before October was over, some stores had already started to decorate for Christmas.  Tonight I saw that one of my neighbors had up their Christmas tree already.  This is madness!  It should be illegal to put up any Christmas decorations prior to Thanksgiving Day and putting up Christmas decorations prior to Halloween should  result in mandatory jail time.  Half the fun of Christmas Day is waiting patiently for it to get here.  Let's resist the urge to rush it.
