Bug Out

About Bug Out

By two o'clock in a Crystal River August the clouds have stacked themselves into towers out over the Gulf, and anyone with a mower learns to read them. Bug Out plans the week around that pattern — cutting, trimming and edging in the clear hours, then coming back to blow the walks once the rain has had its say. Grass here answers a thunderstorm overnight; a yard mowed Monday can be shaggy by Friday, so the route keeps pace instead of chasing. When the storm slides east and the evening opens up cool and rinsed, a lawn cut that morning stands bright and even down the whole street. Steady weeks, on the same day, in the same order.
