[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1637047, member: 39373"] I'd have just told em to get lost.. lol My grandpa had a pet peeve about mowing grass into the street as well. He would actually get a bit angry. And he was not an angry person. He jumped all over me one time for mowing his place into the street. He said how would u feel if u had to come along and clean up someone elses mess they mowed into the street? What I took from it, was he saw it as a sign of laziness. And a respect for others property. The road is public property. To be used by the public. Take from that what u will. I mean no offense. But now that u bring up the motorcycle issue, I can see that. He rode bikes all over Tripoli, Burma, Saudi Arabia while overseas on duty. Thing were very different over there. One thing he told me that stuck with me, and this was years and years ago, I was just a kid then. He told me in some of those areas, you could set something down anywhere, and come back weeks later and it would still be right where u left it. Thieves over there got their clean hand taken off and it was a great shame. Hence, not to many thieves. Lol Now I'm rambling. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane... Edited to add... To this day I mow the outside pass inwards to my property. The old man, i had a lot of respect for. [/QUOTE]
