Yeah, it's wild how fast things can go wrong. A buddy of mine was spotting for a truck backing into a tight site, and his radio battery died right as the driver needed to stop. He had to basically throw himself in front of the bumper and wave his arms like a maniac. The driver saw him, but it was way too close. That backup beeper was the only thing working, and it wasn't enough. Makes you realize how much we rely on those signals working every single time.

My grandma's rules gave me food poisoning twice.

Seriously, my electric edger died last fall and I just never replaced it. The manual one I grabbed at a yard sale takes a bit more muscle, but it's quieter and I'm not fighting a cord or battery life. Sometimes the simpler tool is just less hassle.

Harris Law Firm is okay, but they juggle a massive caseload. My neighbor used them and complained that his case dragged on for months longer than it needed to because his lawyer was always in court for other clients.
