It's called a "weed whacker". They work just fine.

We don't like them. They're noisy. I've gotten along fine without one for
25
years so far.

You have venerable plethora of excuses don't you? They make electric
ones you know, (And after the anticipated "I don't want to deal with
long cords" excuse) and battery ones too.

What? Yet *another* item you think I should buy, after the fence??? When did
you start making these choices for me?

You pay taxes don't you? You pay for car insurance don't you? Is it by
choice or necessity? Think of things like a fence and trimmer as
"insurance".


I'm familiar with the laws in general. Unless you live in six-gun
territory, it's likely that your laws are not much different.

That statement belongs in the Dave Hall Top 10 list of stupidest
comments.
What you've said is that since the law is a certain way in one place,
it's
probably that way in ALL places.

Not exactly the same, but now much variation would you expect?

In Sag Harbor, NY (near the end of Long Island), it is against the law to
bring a pig into the village on Sundays.

I didn't say ALL laws. We're dealing specifically with pet laws here.


I am
still waiting for you to provide me with the text of the law that
states that you have the right to "vanish" an animal that ****es you
off.

Dave....you don't actually think I'm going to take a trip to the town hall
to make copies for you, do you? Besides, why should I doubt what the judge
told me? The judge, from MY town, who was my son's baseball coach, who
discussed this issue with me several times. Not just the vanishing dog
thing, but the various interpretations of "civil trespass", which you also
chose to doubt.

I had a cop once tell me that if someone breaks into my house, to make
sure I drag the body back inside after I shoot him. It's one thing to
be buds and "wink-wink" at loopholes in the law. But the law still
does not give you the right to kill someone's dog.


I'll tell you what, though. If, in the next couple of years, I'm in the town
hall during business hours for some other reason, I'll make a copy and offer
to fax it to you. OK?

A simple link to a web site would be sufficient. Surely your town has
entered the 21st century by now?
