 Most people do not realize how dangerous cutting grass can be. Since when
 our kids were young they were never left outside when our or the neighbors
 grass was being cut. Today we do not go out or let my guide dog out during
 that time period. I got that idea about thirty years ago when a co-worker
 was cutting the grass. His mower kicked a rock and it went through the
 windshield of the police car as it was going down the street. The cops
 very
 quickly exited the car with guns drawn. Every time the grass is being cut
 I
 think of that story. If that rock went through the windshield of a cop car
 just think what it could do to a kid.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] A little excitement in Hilo, oi...

2009-01-29 Thread Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press
Yes, the gardener is responsible, but I offered to first pay for the 
window replacement, and then tried to split the cost with him, and he 
insists he will pay for it. I've had this gardener for most of 19 
years and he's just a nice man. I don't know how he survives on the 
amount of money he charges, but I usually have banana bread or 
cookies to give him when he does the yard. Not only is he paying for 
it, he's going to make all of the arrangements to get the window 
fixed. Yes, I do live a charmed life according to my friends. The 
gardener has some large accounts to do, office complexes, 7 11, and a 
couple others, so for his longtime customers, he doesn't raise his 
rates but his family gets lots of goodies.
My husband is a retired photographer and graphic designer so he does 
some work for the gardener, taking pictures of his hula group and 
turning them into large posters.
Probably much more than you wanted to know...

  in the living room. The gardener was outside making a bunch of noise,
  but it was a very odd pop, so I, being the brave one in my house,
  went to discover the origin. When I arrived in the room, I heard a
  sound that sounded like something sparking, but I didn't smell
  anything burning. I decided that I was no longer going to be the
  brave one because we have an older haligin lamp in that area, and I
  am not fond of sparking electricity. I went to find he who supposedly
  sees all, and we discovered that the lamp was fine, but that a rock
  had hit the sliding door and that little popping sound that was still
  occurring, was our glass cracking. I have to tell you that I wish I
  could have recorded it because it was a very odd noise. So, after
  covering both sides of the door with large sheets of brown paper to
  somewhat confine the falling pieces, I went to fetch extra blankets
  and warm slippers. It's not too cold tonight, but for the last four
  nights, it has been in the mid fifties.
 
  Tomorrow we will have someone come to install new glass because we
  don't have a vehicle to transport a sheet of glass that long, and
  because of course, the part of the door that shattered is the stationery
  side.
 
  Thanks for listening...

Re: [BlindHandyMan] A little excitement in Hilo, oi...

2009-01-29 Thread Lenny McHugh
Most people do not realize how dangerous cutting grass can be. Since when 
our kids were young they were never left outside when our or the neighbors 
grass was being cut. Today we do not go out or let my guide dog out during 
that time period. I got that idea about thirty years ago when a co-worker 
was cutting the grass. His mower kicked a rock and it went through the 
windshield of the police car as it was going down the street. The cops very 
quickly exited the car with guns drawn. Every time the grass is being cut I 
think of that story. If that rock went through the windshield of a cop car 
just think what it could do to a kid.
