Necessary Roughness

Neighbors Share A Little Schadenfreude
June 14th, 2006 at 2:39 pm

This morning, everything was peaceful in the neighborhood, until I mowed my lawn at 11am. This afternoon, mowers are abuzz as their owners are reminded that their grass was 5″ or taller. Power trip, good.

My favorite place to fill the grill’s propane tank closed in April, and I found out today. I found the nearest place to exchange tanks. I didn’t see their price beforehand, so I paid $17. When I got home, my neighbor informed me that at the Flying J one can exchange a tank for $6.

Power trip. over.

   Ah, the Flying J. Where you can also take a shower, get free wi-fi (to check on your blogs!) and get a hot meal.

   Ya know what’s more of a power trip? Listening to the buzz of a lawnmower as your child mows the lawn!

   I’ve got a couple of years yet before I can enjoy that.

   The Flying J east of Columbus isn’t free; I think it’s $5/hr. Cheap, but not worth it when just filling up.

   It’s fun to stay at the Fly-y-y-ing-J,

   You can get yourself clean,
   You can have a good meal,
   You can blog and check your e-mail…

   Thanks.
