Still mowing

 

…even in December.  Miles and miles and miles of wide medians being mowed.  We drive down the interstate and it looks nice, like lawn stretching across the United States, but we can’t help but wonder at the resources consumed by the effort.  That’s a lot of people, equipment, and fuel.  Is it driven by a fire standard?  A safety standard?  Is it purely aesthetic?  Been wondering about this for years.

 

 

Well, anyway, that’s it for freeway philosophizing for now.  We’re back at Sandpipers in Way South Texas.  Total trip miles in the motorhome this year, 11,777; from here to Maine and back, then Colorado, Arizona, and back.

 

Tomorrow’s forecast: 75 degrees.  It’s good to be home!
