No commuter stress, road rage, listening to traffic reports on the radio, and far less angst over the $4 gas.<BR/><BR/>I got rid of the gas mower and was using an electric (*much* quieter and cleaner), but now that we have a smaller lawn, we got a reel mower (*most* quiet and clean), and Miss Grace actually mows the grass - and enjoys the "click-click-click" as you've described. <BR/><BR/>The lowered noise level is just plain more serene and peaceful, the clippings are good for the lawn - and the mower is lighter and much easier to manage. <BR/><BR/>When someone in the neighborhood is mowing grass with a petroleum-powered machine, or (even worse!) one of those Satanic leaf-blowers, I can actually feel my blood pressure go up.<BR/><BR/>I think we're being sold a bill of good with all this "global warming" stuff, but by the same token, we *are* to be good stewards of the land and its resources. As a people, we Americans are too fat, too sated, too spoiled, and too out of touch with God's creation. Gluttony is indeed one of the Seven Deadlies.<BR/><BR/>We have also surrendered that Christian notion of mankind's dominion over the earth to the Left, who have in turn given it a pseudo-religious name: "Environmentalism." <BR/><BR/>Maybe it's time we Christians take it back and put it into proper biblical perspective as "stewardship over God's creation."<BR/><BR/>If nothing else, it's better for our bodies and more soothing for our minds.Rev.
