Ribit,
Any person who would tell that story on himself can't be all bad!!!!! However, about half way through reading the story I began to wonder why you had left the rock out there for forty years. Thought it must have been a boulder. If its any consolation to you,the higher you mow your grass, the better off you and your grass will be. Used to mow mine four inches high.
Regards,
Joe
To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.
