Weary and happy
A couple of weeks ago, I decided that it was time to wash our two cars, which are parked under oak trees in front of the house, and collect pollen and sappy oak juice in addition to the common dust of the road. They were really filthy, and I thought about rolling them around the corner to the gas station and having them both cleaned up by ... professionals. But then I thought, hey, it's a nice spring afternoon, and I'm going to let these guys have my money and my exercise? So I washed them both myself, and for the 11 minutes or so that they stayed clean, their gleam was a source of pride.

This past weekend, the pollen had finally all hit the ground, and it was time to rake it and the leaves up in the spring cleaning of the yard. Poor Susan, who had a terrible allergic reaction to all the pollen and was confined to the indoors, kindly suggested that I do what everyone else in the neighborhood does, and hire this task out to ... professionals.

But no, I said. I'm going to give these guys my money and my exercise? At this point, it is probably suitable to recognize the difference between spraying the hose and dragging a damp cloth over the slick metal surfaces of two sedans, and scrumping up bags and bags and bags of heavy, wet leaves and time-bomb pollen, as well as moving what at my last count seemed to be about 143,000 pot plants to make room for the rake. For four days I labored, saved from total breakdown only by the happy fact that the battery-powered lawn mower I use to run over the collected leaves and crunch them up into compostible bits had the good grace to expend its last juice right about the same time I did each session. The lawn mower got its plug-in, I got a cold beer.

But in the end, the yard was all cleaned up, my back was sore, and Susan could sit out and drink her tea in the morning without risking a trip the respiration ward. I've got all my compost, got my exercise, and still have my money in my pocket -- although I might be spending some of it on a new tin of aspirin tablets.
