I work in Mississauga (just off Winston Churchill & the QEW) & drive every second day - the other days my carpool buddy Joe drives.
We both use the QEW to get to work but on my driving days we always come home on Lake shore Drive - we get home at the same time, its so much less stressful & you get to admire how the other half lives.
Some of those houses are amazing!!
I noticed last week that one of those amazing houses has the greenest grass imaginable. It just sticks out out from all the neighbouring lawns mocking them for their brown lifeless colour.
Earlier this week we slowed & took a good look at the lawn & realized its a carpet !!
Seems like cheating somehow.
I think if you are going to go AstroTurf you should have to cover it up this time of year until all the real grass lawns have a chance to get at least a little green.
I am though, wondering how much it would cost to carpet my little patch of front lawn.

Brown grass? I never have brown grass. Never water it. Never fertilize it. Rarely cut it. It is really tough grass. Has to be to survive my care.
But cheating? I remember all to well how people would come out during the summer months in southern California to spray paint their lawns an appropriate green. Lack of water is a hallmark problem in the south.
They had a news feature on spray-painting lawns the other night.
Better than wasting water on grass in my books, but I know it's a point of pride/contention for many to have the best lawn in the neighbourhood.
I'm hoping for a little postage stamp I can cover in some herbiage and be done with.
I'm with you Bob - seems like cheating!
