TwitterEdgy Edger

Walking to the store the other day, I passed my neighbour, Mr. Grillo, who was cutting a fine edge on his lawn where it meets the sidewalk. Smitten by the ancient tool he was using to do the job, which was held together by wire in typical Mr. Grillo style, I stopped to marvel at how much better this peculiar, spiky cutting tool was than my step-on edger. Before you could say, “Down with the whipper snipper”, I accepted my neighour’s offer to let me borrow his edger, and next day I quickly cut a swathe on my own lawn, making a crisp edge along the sidewalk. Sometimes, there’s no technology like old technology.
