For the first time in 30+ years, I'll be mowing the lawn this weekend. Our experiment with grass seed and fertilizers has paid off, but now we have a ragged lawn with uneven colors and lengths.

Obviously we don't want what a big lawn mower for a tiny ~20 square meter patch of grass. So we went to our local hardware+ store and looked at options. Behold, the Tokyo lawnmower.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
