Most people do not realize how dangerous cutting grass can be. Since when our kids were young they were never left outside when our or the neighbors grass was being cut. Today we do not go out or let my guide dog out during that time period. I got that idea about thirty years ago when a co-worker was cutting the grass. His mower kicked a rock and it went through the windshield of the police car as it was going down the street. The cops very quickly exited the car with guns drawn. Every time the grass is being cut I think of that story. If that rock went through the windshield of a cop car just think what it could do to a kid.
