Learning from Other Cultures about Industrial Equipment and Supplies

Hi, my name is Jeff, and I firmly believe that there is always at least two ways to look at any problem. Whether I am thinking about poetry or industrial lawn mowers, I try to take a comprehensive look at the issue from all angles. That means I think about the history of mowing lawns, whether or not it's even necessary, how it's done in other cultures and more.

I hope you enjoy this blog and the "wide angle" I employ when thinking about things.
