You guys must have lots of garters if you have to watch for them when you mow. Good problem to have, i guess, if you like garters. I'm lucky if I see one or two garters a year. Never mowed a garter but I do watch out for the copperheads and cottonmouths down here. Ran over one's tail a while back and it started chasing me, thankfully my underwear was the only casualty that time. So a weed whacking accident would also be a bad thing, except I would be doing the dying instead of the snake.
