I just mowed my back yard in record time. I was thinking about the stupidity of the School District’s attorneys as I pulled the cord to start my mower. As the engine sputtered to life it occurred to me that we decided to avoid a bond because that would have required one of the taxpayers to his house of as collateral for a Bond Company.
