Lawn Mower

Picked up the $30 Craig's List lawn mower on Friday. It's just what the doctor ordered. I like to justify my cheapness by hiding behind the three R's (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle) it seems very "Portland." But really I don't need to buy a new lawn mower to mow my tiny little lawn. The motorless push mower I've been using for the past few year would have probably been just fine if I'd bothered to cut the lawn more often.

We just recently got back from LA, our former home. What a mad house. I forgot what it was like to drive in real traffic. There is so much to love and hate about LA. I had a great time when we lived there I did get used to what people hate about it like smog, crime, congestion etc... I mean it didn't even bother us when the LAPD helicopter was spot light was swinging through our yard trying to track down some criminal I presume and we lived in a "safe" neighborhood. Bottom line about the trip: We had a great time and The Kid had a blast her little buddy down there might as well be her soul mate.
