Don't Mow The Lawn
That's a relatively painless way to save money and one of the Navy's tactics for dealing with sequestration. Hampton Roads installations in southeast Virginia are letting the grass grow a foot tall before it's trimmed. The move is expected to save the Navy nearly $2 million this year. The Virginian-Pilot reports: there's a downside — an unsightly front yard. It reports thigh-high weeds at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach. The Navy is facing a $4 billion spending cut because of sequestration.

My neighbor practices this all the time - I guess they save lots and lots of money.
Makes perfectly good sense to do this. More people should do the same. It not only saves money but saves gas and helps the enviroment.
But what's that terrorist organization (HMO) going to say about uncut lawns?
Rather see grass high than someone loose their job.
If you get a notice from Salisbury Neighborhood Gestappo, just mow the 6 feet around the edges like they do on the highways. I'd like to be in the courtroom when they try to prosecute that one!
