Ironically after serving 14 years in prison, John Wesley Hardin became a lawyer. On August 19, 1895 he was shot in the back of the head while playing dice in an El Paso bar. The shooter John Selman, was an off duty police officer, whom Hardin had argued and threatened after Selman arrested Hardin’s girlfriend for violating the city law about carrying a gun.
Hardin himself was unarmed at the time of the shooting. And Selman was acquitted.
Not surprised about the cut grass. Trees have a high-pitched scream when they are cut down, but it’s at such a high-frequency we can’t hear it. Our dogs can though.
My mother once told us that kids in her day used to steal bits of tar from the workers’ tar kettles to chew as gum. It supposedly whitened their teeth.

Hohn Wesley Jardin They’re still making the guy serve his time?
That’s a matter of opinion about lawns.
Take care and may God bless.

as much as I’m ancestrally part Scandinavian (Danish for all I really know), birch pitch doesn’t sound appetizing

I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody’s new-mown lawn

Saying that the smell of cut grass is a cry for help is like saying the smell of our blood is a cry for help.

Since humans are not herbivores and cannot digest grass very well, I wonder why fresh cut grass or hay smells so good to us?
Also birch bark tea is good for a sore throat and cough.

Birch is still used for xylitol in gum and soft drinks. The bark makes a great firestarter even when wet.

So it’s not lawn mown, it’s lawn moan?

Oh sure, tear at the heart of the bunny huggers. It’s just a chemical reaction, period.

To whom is the grass crying for help? The trees?

Grasses are such drama queen sissies. I don’t cry when my hair is being cut.

The grass crying is like those nature shows where the host somehow knows why the animals choose to do what they do.
