I see a couple of completely pointless members have appeared on the boards.

Bit of a harsh way to greet John Mairs and Ryan Fryer.
I didn't say 'new'.
Today's milestones:
First use of the air conditioner this year.
First grass mowing of the year.
First blister of the year caused by my too-small Chuck Taylor mowing shoes.

I don't imagine you with grass. I always thought of you surrounded by sand and scrub. And cacti.
That's just his women.

There's plenty of scrub and cacti around and that's what we'd have in our yards if we didn't lay sod, fertilize and water like crazy. San Antonio is sort of on the border: drive east and it gets greener; drive west and it gets browner and desert-ier.
In Las Vegas we weren't allowed to have more than a few square feet of grass in our yards. The water conservation laws required rock and cacti instead of lush, green lawns.
Don't you all have Astroturf over there?
And you have special 'mowing shoes' ?

Astroturf isn't allowed in my neighborhood. Neither are rock yards, concrete, etc.
What I call my "mowing shoes" are an old pair of cheap, black All Stars that I only wear when I'm working in the yard. Whatever I wear turns green from all the grass, so I don't wear my "good" shoes when I mow.

What I call my "mowing shoes" are an old pair of cheap, black All Stars that I only wear when I'm working in the yard with a chainsaw. Whatever I were turns red from all the blood, so I don't wear my "good" shoes when I mow.
Jeez DaButt did you really need the gun as well?

In that case I won't rename my slippers my 'drinking shoes' !
Err, you have slippers over there ?
Pissing shoes surely?

It's rattlesnake birthing season, so you gotta be prepared.
My friend's son came across a rattler and her 4 babies yesterday and when he rode up for a closer look it struck his bicycle tire and flattened it!
