Not my problem; no yard.
I don't have much of a yard either, a little bit of grass and a bunch of trees. It literally takes me about a half hour to mow mine with a push mower, even though it's almost a half acre. What gets me is when I go out to a customers house and try to clean up theirs, and then the wind blows.

Why is it that, whenever I am sitting around a campfire, the smoke will always shift into my direction?

I can't remember where the story comes from but there was an internet forum argument about scientific theories and one party said something like "No, you have it all wrong! Schrodinger would be spinning in his grave." To which someone posed the question: "Would we have to open the casket to check?"

Why is it, that when you lose something, you always find it in the last place you look?

Because you're smart enough to quit looking once you've found it? :snicker:

I wonder if that's directly analogous to OPCA types continuing to look in the same place for a solution that isn't there.....

Does that mean they're not smart enough to "stop looking when they find it"?

Only idiots stop looking. You keep going because you'll find all that crap you gave up looking for eons ago. And then you put it in a safe place, of which you later forget the location.

You must keep looking! :!:

That way you'll find all the crap your wife has been randomly hiding in drawers.

How else can you explain having purchased so many small tools and packages of miscellaneous hardware?
