I've mowed about 2/3 of the back yard, and stopped when the mower ran out of gas. I wanted it to because I have to turn it over to remove and sharpen the blade.

I've ordered new batteries for the dog's Invisible Fence collars. The neighbor told me that they're going right up to the fence now - I saw it today blatantly. They were being good about their boundaries, even without their collars, but with Zeke back there, they have followed him beyond their boundaries without the reinforcement of the collars. So they'll get a shock in a day or two first time one of them goes across the line they both know by heart. I have to switch the one collar between two dogs, because one device was pulled apart in a wrestling match, but I think I'll be able to buy a used one from the same folks for considerably less than new. It's really surprising to see them so boldly go where they weren't allowed for years. The last batteries were exhausted a couple of months ago.

I've just started reading an article on High Fructose Corn Syrup that you might want to look at. Not to preach to the choir - I think we're all aware of this stuff. But it might be useful to pass on.
