When I was a kid we'd play catch in the backyard while the neighbor, Stub, a one-armed vet of WWII practiced his chip shots in the back yard next door. One day a stray shot nailed me in the top of the noggin unawares. Ouch! That hurt!

we are surrounded by lawn tractors. It's kind of wide open spaces here, so they don't seem to use leaf blowers (yet!).

But why is it, after all that digging he still leaves his smelly gift exposed..and not buried. Not only that, but I have a grass kinda mat under the cat box and he is always grabbing it and lifting it up and letting it go...so bam, bam bam bam... followed usually by a smell that will wilt any plant near by!!

A series of very abrupt, VERY sharp yelps that crescendo so high the sound wave would look like a stalagmite, and boy does the sound carry. I'd like to strangle every one of the bastards.
