A wise man who I admired GREATLY once used these words of wisdom which have stuck with me:
The grass is always greener... over the septic tank.
Think about it.
I've got a real bad bare spot on one of the yards cuz the moles have dug it up so bad. When I think about your quote it makes me want to put a septic tank there because he is absolutely correct. Besides being greener it's always nice and thick.
