The Severed Cortex

I cut my grass yesterday morning and for maybe the first time this year, my grass was actually shorter than my neighbor's. It has been a week since he mowed his and I was surprised that he wasn't out there with me. That's because he was power washing his front porch. When I left to go pick up Robert late yesterday afternoon, his grass was still uncut. When I got up this morning I saw that he couldn't stand it anymore and cut it. Nancy said he was shirtless when he did so yesterday evening.

This morning, while we were eating breakfast, he was fiddling with his sprinkler system.
