I started bagging when I started practicing chip shots in the backyard. I don't do that so much anymore, but I've gotten used to not having to deal with the molehill rows of clippings if I want to set up a net or walk across the yard. No shame on those that don't. There's a reason living in a POA would drive me bonkers
If you have a lawn with molehill rows of clippings I’m going to shame you all day. You’re either cutting your grass way too short or you’re waiting too long between mowings.
Anyone else having fun reading Luddite posts about 5g network antenna installation? It's the new nimby with a touch of anti vax idiocy.

Holy fuck balls I have a good one, give me a sec to get the screenshots posted. Dad posted he saw two people having sex in their car. Thread went as expected. I’m crying over here.
There is a thread in my neighborhood about a stray cat stuck up in a tree in a marsh. It's a stray no one owns this cat. The tree is surrounded by water largely so no one is sure how the cat got there outside of of a small strip of land that is so covered in vegetation you need a machete to get to. Can't get there by boat because no river access. No kayak or canoe works because fallen trees all around it. One guy goes in duck boots and is surrounded by water moccasins and gets to the tree but the cat just goes higher. They find a small strip of land and put a cage out with cat food and leave but the cat refuses to come down because it's dumb. Current options being discussed are to go back into the poisonous snake infested waters with a brave child or small woman who can climb the smaller branches and brave falling into the water or being ripped up by the cat when they get to it. This is being vetoed. New option is to build a 50 foot floating platform next to the tree that the cat can walk across. This has to be approved by the park and they'be said no because it would involve permanently altering part of the marsh, which they are not allowing. The lady that's going to build it has been told to do it anyways. The cat that won't come down for cat food is supposedly going to see the platform and bound down the tree and across where a nightly patrol will be waiting to capture it and make sure it spayed/neutered. I'll keep updates coming.
No real updates but everyone who has attempted to get the cat is being told they’re a “hero” by the cat ladies and on par with Medal of Honor nominees. Nm new updates below.
Things are getting desperate it appears. Gerry providing updates: TIME IS IOF THE ESSENCE.....HEROIC MEASURE NECRSSARY NOW ....OTHERWISE CAT WILL EXPIRE. OR. WORSE RANGER STATION SHOULD BE. CALLED AGAIN INSIST SPEAK TO”IN CHARGE” PERSON... Rox, roger That. Cats very reluctant to enter trap ! Very. We’ve “captured” and have in house nine; every one capture DIFFERENT ; need to consider and employ whatever means necessary ( non Harmful! ) to capture; patience, persistence, etc , but they will not allowed themselves to be captured voluntarily.. unfortunately..BEST LUCK,.. Gerry I’m not precisely sure what’s worse than the cat dying but maybe it will be taken over by a swamp demon that will reduce the town to ashes. Someone else pointed out that the cat is not emaciated and is obviously still eating somehow so maybe we should leave it alone and it will come down when it’s ready. He was told to get the fuck out and did not understand the situation.
Cat update: The cat wasn’t seen for a week straight. Lots of thoughts and prayers for the cat. Obviously dead because it couldn’t be saved. Turns out the cat came down some time ago and was just hanging out somewhere else.
Jesus. I don't want this to be real because I'm just cringing. When it got to the specific meal recipes??
Man that is Amazing. This is the kind of stuff I want to come up with when I start trolling on Nextdoor. I may have to rethink everything though. Originally my profile was going to be a 92 year old woman named Eunice. But this thread has opened my eyes, perhaps 28 year old male named Trevor would be a better option. I’m thinking infinitely more possibilities. I think I need to get this going before the 2020 elections. Trevor sounds like he would make a good Beto supporter who eats a gluten-free diet even though he doesn’t have to. I’m sure I could spark a few conversations going that route.
And passive-aggressively volunteer to help people do shit they don't want to do, like recycling and composting.
And it doesn't need to be Trevor. It needs to be something funnier that, on its own, will get under people's skin like "Skip" or "Scout" or "Ranger."
All strong suggestions. I think you periodically also need to claim to have spotted some rare animal and indignantly refuse to admit that it could have been anything else. Something like this: Then, every few weeks, post another sighting of the ocelot. Eventually, it will be clear that you're the only one seeing it.
And, with the composting, you should suggest that people bring out their compost cans after the actual trash pick up so that you can come around and pick it up and fight tooth and nail with anyone who claims that you didn't pick theirs up. Insist that you did look at it, but they had noncompostable matter in the can so you couldn't take it.
Maybe make a suggestion that a certain house gets rezoned for commercial and residential in effort to open a CBD oil shop.
In San Antonio Texas? This is going to go quite well. I think your first step is going to be to outlaw outdoor grilling. Think of all the smoke and heat that generates and the contributions to global warming! I am sure people in your neighborhood would love to discuss the options for low income housing near the neighborhood? I think this has a ton of potential.
The grilling/global warming thing should come in as an added benefit to buying the cooked HEB brisket. This is a long con, so he needs some subtlety.
Austin city council actually considered this exact thing and spent a bunch of money on researching it and possibly requiring a filter system on smoker/grills
