Pickles by Brian Crane for April 14, 2018

Earl won’t have to worry about mowing the lawn ever again.

…And in the trash bin.

Sounds like a movie title, “The Demise Of The Robot Vac”.

I wouldn’t keep a robot that stole my money.

It’s possible that the robovac is the only pet my son’s family will ever have. Yes, they talk about it the same way we do about our dog and cat.

If Earl doesn’t like a robot vacuum cleaner, then Earl had better be prepared to do at least some of the vacuuming from now on.

Stupidest invention this decade.

It was a cool invention that failed except for being a catmobile.

Perhaps it was destroyed in a mysterious accident.

They make a roomba-like lawn mower, which I would love to have, but they are very expensive. Some you program like the roomba, for the size of your yard. I want the kind you operate with a toggle switch, so I could just stand there, and send it in the direction I want it to go. Those are the ones that are too expensive, and fairly large. I can’t use my riding lawn mower on the steep slope, and a remote-controlled mower would be ideal.

I’ve always been curious about roombas. Do they work well?
