The letter in this post from Greg Hlatky ticked me off so badly I went out and fired up our outdated, gas guzzling, lawn tractor and mowed the front yard myself.

"Family cars," "tract houses," "discount boxes in cornfields."

I guess it's fine that your favorite entertainers have 10,000 square foot houses on private beaches in coastal areas and fly when they leave.

I'd do the back yard tomorrow, but Jimmy -- black, uneducated, my age -- needs the work. He's paid $10 an hour. I made $6.60 doing paste-up at the Natchez Democrat in 1993.

Just watch it when I bring out the bypass pruners.
