Because of the goofiness of the English language, there are very few "spelling bees" in other countries in their native language.
(For example, Bhasa Indonesian - every letter is pronounced and every letter always has the same sound)

I bought one of these today. The old one was about 20 years old, very old for a lawn tractor.
Now they come with a hose attachment that blows water on the blades to clean out the blade housing. I had never seen that before, a great idea.

Don't use that unless you want your deck to rust faster than it should.

I will probably not use it too much, since it takes a little work to get it going.
I mentioned it to a few guys who have this device, and said, good idea, but after a few uses you'll get lazy.

Never seen the terminology before, but apparent there is such a thing as a "pussy-bow blouse", and it makes sense.

Giovanni Battista Bugatti, the official executioner for the Papal States from 1796 to 1864, executed over 500 people during his 68-year tenure.
Bugatti’s tools and clothing became historical artifacts, reflecting the period’s harsh justice system. His execution methods included beheading and garroting, and he retired with honor at the age of 85.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
