I want to give a shout-out today to the gang that mows our levees. That's right...the Levee Board mowing crew. There are only 21 of them to tend all the city's levee green spaces. They are underfunded, undermanned and over-worked. Today these tractor-cowboys (and one cowgirl) whipped our pride and joy into shape and even mowed a savage lot (that I don't even think is theirs), just because I asked them to. Afterwards, they also took a chainsaw to a couple of errant trees (ours). I was so grateful to them that I baked ‘em cookies. All they asked for was a thank-you. Thanks guys.
