Animal lawnmowers

I really hate the time involved in mowing my lawn. I don't mind the physical effort; in fact, I deliberately got a mower that was not self-propelled. I figured that unless you have any tall hills to climb, any halfway healthy adult male should be able to push one of these things around.

That didn't stop one fella from urging me to get one, though. His comment? "It makes things so much easier!" No, dude. I don't have any difficulty pushing a low-end mower around; I just wish it didn't require so much time.

Yet another fella was telling me to use this riding mower. "It's so sweet!" he said. Dude, unless you have a huge amount of property, getting a riding lawn mower is waste of money. These things cost $1500 or so. Why not get some exercise instead?

Which, BTW, is what makes investing this time somewhat more palatable. I just wish that it was more of a thorough cardio or resistance training workout.
