Re: musa acuminata ?? NOW Knee Injury Now Garden trivia

No, I didn't know that, Bonnie, but [for some reason] it doesn't surprise me. My father was a mailman [before he became a postal worker] and for 20 years walked 15-20 miles a day delivering mail [we had two deliveries a day back then]. I'm sure some idiot somewhere decided he needed to exercise on his day off.

Did you know that the old fashioned push mower was created as an exercise
machine? I guess it makes more sense than working on some gym
equipment...you exercise AND get the lawn mowed.

Me either. Whew!

When I was a kid, in the era of push mowers, my girlfriend's father
asked me to mow their lawn, which was St. Augustine. Took two long
days. Whenever he asked again, I always had a doctor's appointment or
some other looming crisis.
