TruGreen / ChemLawn Issues
When I purchased my home three years ago, I inherited a lawn that was full of issues such as persistent crabgrass, creeping charlie and a multitude of dandelions overflowing from the next door neighbors failure to even mow his lawn more than twice per season. (I hate renters, but that is another article.) I spend a small fortune each year putting down seed and fertilizer to try to get the front and back yards to look somewhat pleasant, but I always feel like I am behind the eight ball.
So this year, I decided to hire TruGreen to aerate, seed and fertilize my lawn. I had seen my neighbor's success with lawn care services. His looks like the 18th hole at pebble beach. Mine aspires to be the course in Caddy Shack at the end of the movie after all of the explosions. Unfortunately, I did not ask my neighbor which service he used before contacting TruGreen.
I can't begin to tell you how giddy this photo makes me. I see this as a first in a series of "unfortunate" events for our distinguished representative. Maybe now he will have more time to actually read letters from his constituents and respond to them in kind. Nearly 18 months after my initial letter to Congress regarding the situation in Pakistan (which time included the assassination of Benezir Bhutto, the resignation of Pervez Mussharaf, the rise of the Taliban to name a few of the more notable incidents), I have yet to recieve a satisfactory response from Mr. Ellison's office to my initial letter posted elsewhere on this blog.
