How many posers do we have on our Web site?

I just bought an electric lawnmower.

Does that make me an environmentalist?

I used it today for the first time, and it was quite easy. Starts up like a dream and is much quieter than the gas-powered push mower i had for 20 years. The cord is a bit of a nuisance, but once I get used to it, I'm sure it'll get easier.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.
