I use a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones, less cord just the phones,
mowing the lawn; or used to before I went to a scythe, which is more

Why am I getting visions of a 'Father Time' sort trimming the lawn?
The weirdest I've seen in real life was over a friends house some
years ago. They lived on a steeply sloped lot, making mowing very
difficult. In a moment of enlightenment, they bought a GOAT to graze
the grass. Everything went well until the poor creature got very sick
and started leaving obnoxious smelling droppings/sprayings all over.

That ended the experiment very quickly. The goat was returned to the
farm, where it lived out it's it's normal and happy goatish life.
