Truly glad landscaping is not something I have to worry about -- I can't think of anything more boring or meaningless

Lawn mowing is a father’s respite. That’s what makes my current situation even worse.

Yards rule but they require work in order to rule.

I wonder how many Mexican gardeners Jorge had growing up.

[Jorge]

My mom did the gardening, but we didn't have a lawn per se

Gardening is cool, having a nicely decorated bit of greenery outside your house is appealing to me, but the stereotypical lawns like they have in suburbia USA are so boring

we've built them into the American dream.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

The US cultural obsession with lawns is absurd and infuriating.

[wease]

I’m not any kind of Hank Hill when it comes to yard work, but especially with smaller dogs, we do have to keep it from getting too high and unruly. It’s getting dry enough here now I’m on a two-week schedule with it.

[96583UP]

i have warmed up to astroturf lawns bigly

do not have

but they make sense to me more and more

[Jorge]

My sister just launched a YouTube channel last week. I've been helping her get it set up, teaching her how to edit her own videos, scheduling posts, and stuff like that. She's still at very low numbers but steadily growing. It's amazing to me that even at this low level she's still getting comments from absolute weirdos fantasizing about marrying her, or giving her unsolicited advice about her looks. These losers are everywhere

[Ello Sailor]

Yeah, bit of a cesspool. That sucks.

Are you going to moderate her channel? Protect her from said weirdos?

[Jorge]

I'm managing the channel right now while she learns the ropes and yeah I've been deleting the more egregious ones. But she'll have to deal with them on her own when she fully takes over

[Ello Sailor]

Lenny and I can leave her nice comments daily if you'd like.

[Jorge]

That would be nice
