Of Fresh Edges and Polish Memory
None of us sharpens their gouge _before_ slicing gritty, nasty bark or
cracks loaded with crud, right? So why is it some Polacks never remember that winter plowing will hide stones where they can't be picked up even in three passes? Sharpened the blades prior to putting the mower on the tractor again. Same as last year. Might even have been the same stones. |

Then take him to the area in question and, with an empty hand, make a throwing motion with your arm while calling out "fetch". If your dog is also Polish, in under an hour the field will be stone free. As one of Irish descent, I envy how simple this solution is for you. I have to round up a leprechaun, locate the exact stone I want moved, stand in the location I want the stones piled, toss the struggling leprechaun to the stone, dodge the incoming missile and then chase the leprechaun down again to begin the process for the next rock. Even with my postage stamp yard, this can take 2 or 3 leprechauns and half a day! It's great fun ... but I sometimes think it would be easier if I were Polish. ;-) Bill --- avast!
