Yardwork. Hmmmm...I believe I might have participated in something along that line once. Oh, I remember now; it was a rather unpleasant activity so I stopped doing it. I discovered an invention called the condominium and haven't engaged in yardwork since. Besides, I heard you could go blind by doing it too much.
