Mowing with a Deadly Weapon

[kybearfuzz]

After work yesterday, I went to the gym and did my 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. With weak and wobbly legs I drove home, seeing so many of my neighbors out mowing their yards as I cruised through the neighborhood. Thinking it was going to rain today and the yard would become unmanagable if I waited, I decided to mow mine as well.

While mowing the side yard, I looked down at the last second to see a small frog staring up at me, right in front of the mower. Unfortunately, the little guy just sat there and it was too late to stop the momentum of the mower and over him I went. A large "piece" of whatever was left came shooting out the side and I literally cringed. You see, I don't like to kill things, with the exception of some bugs, most rodents, and snakes. A poor little frog, nah, he doesn't show up as evil on my radar.

As I was telling a few chat buddies yesterday, I think the poor little guy was suicidal. He stood right there and let me run him over. No note was found. I am guessing that his wife (or life partner) left him for a horny toad who had a big swingers pad over on the other side of the woods. Sigh.. I'm rationalizing...

Oh well, back to work...

Sigh.. me neither.. at least it was a quick demise. Not that I'm all that happy about having to clean up the mess afterwards.

Oh I know....I have some froggies or toads in my yard and when I mow I always watch out for them....same with the bunnies

Oh, if I had run over a bunny with the lawn mower, I'd have lost it! Anything furry and cute, with the exception of moles and other yard vermin...

Hehehehe.....yeah I know...I am very protective of the bunnies in and around my yard. In fact they have gotten used to me when I go out to smoke.....I don't get real close, but they see me and continue to munch on the grass or the occasional weed on the yard.

LOL.. I'm surprised one of the more rebellious bunnies doesn't ask for a drag.. or a cigarette of his own.

Hehehehe......I am wondering the same thing....actually they usually see me....start a little bit...then stop....hunker down and then start relaxing and eating again
