And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

"1957: Simplicity Manufacturing introduced its experimental lawnmower of the future — the Wonder Boy X-100. It could mow, weed, feed, seed, spray, vacuum the lawn, and plow snow, all the while keeping its operator in air-conditioned comfort. It had running lights and an onboard radio-telephone. And the manufacturer noted that it could also be used as a golf cart! It went at a top speed of 10 mph."
Don't know about that, but in the mid 60's my dad had a 'FlyMo' Anybody here remember those? I think they actually still make'em, a hovercraft push lawn mower. It ran in the family - my grandmother had a Hoover hovercraft vacuum cleaner. https://www.flymo.com/uk/content/about-us
