In which we encounter lawn ornaments
Saturday night I helped man the Sertoma Club booth at the state fair, doing my little part to keep Iowa from going deaf. Clubmate Keith kept me company.
As we had no audiologist there that night, we couldn't give hearing tests, so business was slow. I had a lot of time to ponder the lawn-ornament store that had a display across the aisle at the Varied Industries building.
I'm not really a lawn ornament type, but I can imagine that there are people who would want one of these gnomes in the yard:
A lot of people have these round strange things:
Yet, I am not sure I want to live next to somebody who would adorn their yard with one of these:
Different strokes and all, sure, but... wow.

The thing about having stuff on your lawn is that you have to move the items when mowing. This means having to stop the lawnmower (and because you let go of the handle the motor cuts off) and move the item, mow where it was and then move it back.
I know about this because I have a bird table (no gnomes here) in the centre of my lawn. Its a pain to move but not moving it and mowing around it looks terrible.
If you had a really nice gnome, I would be afraid somebody would walk off with it.
