It's barely worth the time it takes to more the lawn when it only takes fifteen minutes to finish the job.

Also, remember when kids playing in the street got out of your way before you had to honk your horn? And when you do nowadays, they look at you like you have a problem instead of them. And you can't do it everywhere for fear that the bastards might pull out a gun and shoot you for "disrespecting" them.
I remember that and I know what you are talking about that goes on today with kids in the street. Warning: do not speak to them~!!!
