So, as most of you know, I’m frequently working from home these days. I am usually up and at it by 6:30 AM or so. Almost like clockwork, someone starts mowing the law right outside my window. I mean, like every day (not really every day, but close enough). It drives me nuts! I had always assumed the mystery lawnmower man with Obssessive-Compulsive Disorder was working for my condo association. Only this morning, I looked out the window and made a surprising discovery. The lawn work was actually taking place across the street at the neighborhood Middle School. And all of a sudden things made sense! Only the government would mow this often!

So now I’m starting a surveillance project: How often does this school’s lawn get mowed and how many workers does it take? This should be fun.
