- I’m still loving my battery-powered lawn mower, and I believe this is my fourth summer of using it. For my yard size, it’s perfect and I’ve never run out of juice. I think what I like best is not having to worry about any gas spilling from the gas can as I take it to fill it up, though I may feel different if I actually owned a pickup. I feared getting gas in the interior and always smelling fumes every time I got inside. It’s a Ryobi 40-volt lithium-ion mower in case you were wondering.

Maybe Texas Stadium Should Have Been Turned into a Bass Pro Shop – Or at least an Arby’s
How does a city reuse a former basketball arena when the team moves to new digs across town? And what if, hypothetically, that arena is shaped like a pyramid? If you’re Memphis, you fill it with a 535,000 square-foot Bass Pro Shop, then sit back and wait for the apocalypse to arrive.
Built in 1991, Memphis’s Great American Pyramid has been empty for over a decade, looming on the skyline like a bad idea conceived after too much cocaine. Numerous proposals have tried to revive the 32-story pyramid but none had the $191 million backing of America’s most audacious retailer.
Georgetown, TX councilman goes to bathroom, forgets to take off his microphone
Reminds me of a classic scene from the first Naked Gun movie . . .
Things got real awkward during a council meeting in Georgetown, Texas, when an unidentified councilman excused himself to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, the man forgot to turn off his microphone, so everyone heard his trip to the lavatory as it was amplified throughout the meeting. It seems he also forgot to wash his hands.
Rachael Jonrowe, the city’s mayor pro tem who tried her best to speak seriously about infectious diseases while the man relieved himself, was not immediately available for comment or additional information. But we have to admit, she handled it really well.
