“Nothing beats Roundup,” Norm would say. “The weeds see me coming with my back spray pack and they start running.”
That’s why he would spray very often, like once a week. Every Wednesday. It worked. As was said, his lawn and garden was a picture.
Anyway although at first he thought he was getting the flu he’s recently been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. That means that these days his wife, Pearl, has to do the spraying.
