Even though we’re in the middle of a mini-drought, my next-door neighbor is still cutting his grass. He’s basically “cutting” it to the same height as it was. Running the mower just puts extra stress on his lawn and doesn’t make any difference to the way it looks.
Maybe he does not get all the fun times with his wife like you do, so he mows to get out of the house.
Old Guy: You might be right. He does have a lot of free time to cut the grass. Definitely a lot more than I do.
