[AT] List quiet!! Everyone OK, or just waterlogged??? - - Frustrating spring/summer so far...

Same here in NY, went from daily rain to high 90's with humidity to match.

Sounds like your county guys were trained by the state mowers here. They 
buried one of the mowers in the ditch across from my place. You would 
think that having all the rain and seeing standing water with cat tails 
growing tall around it would have been a clue to stay away...

The lawn here isn't that bad but needs cutting, don't want to cut it and 
they watch it burn in the heat though. Don't have hackberry trees but 
plenty of staghorn sumac trying to get a hold. That stuff is real tough 
to kill.
