re: #86 thedopefishlives

My neighborhood, collectively, is paranoid about keeping their lawns perfectly groomed. Not two days after the last snowstorm, I heard people out mowing. Not just tuning up their lawn mowers, oh no - they were actually out MOWING THE GRASS THAT HADN’T STARTED GROWING YET.

Lawns are a desert wasteland for wildlife. They are a bourgeois relic of middle class imitating the the great lawns of European aristocratic estates. The generate nothing but noise. A garden is another story.
