It's 1:15 PM here in Rockville and the SUN... the beautiful, glorious SUN IS SHINNING THROUGH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS!!!! HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY! What's it been now... umm... seven whole days of gray. Time to go outside and bask in its wonderful warmth and the glowing glow of its light!
Ah hell, now that means I have to find time to mow the lawn. Now that the rain has brought it back to life.
Dammit....

"We're standing on the roof, overlooking the neigbor's yard to prove a point. Because Americans have better things to do than crawl around on their knees, spraying weeds with little squirt-bottles. That's why we've spelled out the name of a popular weed-control product in this neighbor's back yard 3 days ago. Can you read it? Well, pretty much.
But you know what? By next week that grass will have begun to grow back!
Now come on over here. Lets get a shot of his front yard where we've spelled out another name. But that was just 3 hours ago. Take a look, you can read that, can't you? Sure you can, it's good 'ole gasoline.
Gasoline turns weeds and grass dark green in about 45 seconds. They're crisp and dryed up in 2 hours and by tomorrow, that'll be brown, dusty dirt spelling out "gasoline" across the front yard.
Look how the that shadow from the oak tree plus the bird bath kinda make and exclamation point. GAS-O-LINE!
We're on the ground now, in the next neighbor's yard to prove another point. Because when you're in a hurry, you can do something like what we've done here. Spell out the Preamble to The Constitution in this front yard and now, watch!
*strike*
Neighbor from inside his window: "Hey. HEY!"
*stike* *WHOOSH!*
(Over roaring flames) NOW THIS WILL ONLY BURN WHERE WE'VE PLACED IT, IT'S QUITE PRECISE. YOU CAN EVEN USE DIFFERENT FONTS, YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH WEED POISONS! Plus it's safer.
When you consider 50 plastic bottles of that poison on display in a store, you think none of those bottles ever leaked during packing and shipping? Of course they did. The people that work there, the cashiers and YOU all have cancer causing chemicals on your hands. Just waiting for you to eat a Twinkie or smoke a cigarette. Then that stuff's in your liver forever! You're all going to die from cancer and who will ever know why, or what for? For a green lawn?
You're never going to eat a Twinkie or light a cigarette that smells like gasoline. So you're never going to "eat" gasoline by mistake. Or get it on you shoes and walk it on your carpet, so your nephew's baby won't ever smear a teddy bear on it then put it in his mouth.
And gasoline costs only about $3 a gallon. But do you know what those so-called "weed control" products cost? About $30-40 dollars a gallon. That's expensive cancer!
You could get a whole side of beef or a barrel of bacon for that!
Gasoline. *stike* *stike* *WHOOSH!* Better, safer and cheaper."
