I Blow Dry My Lawn

I have an electric lawn mower. When I use it, it sounds like I'm blow drying my lawn. Or vacuuming it. I don't think it should be classified as a power lawn tool. More like lawn beauty supply, I guess.

It's kind of emasculating. I mean, if I were up against a Toro, or Snapper, or Craftsman, or Honda, I'll cut the grass just as well, but I won't sound as powerful. Of course, I'm also saving money by not using gas. And it's better for the environment because I have zero engine emissions. And it's lightweight, which means it's easier on me to move around, except for the extra long extension cord I use (it's not the rechargeable kind). And it's easier to start and stop since all I have to do is pull a handle. Ultra easy.

I guess I don't feel too unmanly. I mean, two other guys in my neighborhood use electric lawn mowers. Of course, they're each over 50 years old. Maybe I'm just old manly. Yeah, that makes me feel much better.
