Electric Lawn Mowers - Green but Grievous
June 1st, 2009 Categories: 1
Green Lawn Mower
BRYAN, TX — The Texas Municipal Power Agency encourages homeowners to use electric lawn mowers rather than gas to promote cleaner air. They are offering vouchers worth $150 toward the purchase of an electric-powered machine, corded or cordless.
You’re thinking, I gotta push this reel mower or work my way around power cords? That’s a big sacrifice for clean air. Well, Black and Decker does have a handy 24V battery mower but it will only cut up to 1/3 of an acre at a time. Then there’s a solar powered cordless from Solaris - that sounds neat.

Aggieland’s Parents Weekend
April 17th, 2009 Categories: 1
This weekend, April 17-19, is Parent’s Weekend 2009. Parent’s Weekend is a long standing tradition at Texas A&M University, with events like Midnight Yell, Maroon and White football game, and tent sales in every other parking lot on Texas Avenue. This three-day event showcases what Texas A&M is all about and is an opportunity for the parents of Texas A&M students to experience the Bryan/College Station Area.
Another big thing about Parent’s Weekend is that college students look at homes or new places to live for the upcoming school year. Parents are always eager to look at the new homes (apartments, townhomes, houses, etc…) that their children have picked out or are excited to help their kids find a place. Prepare to be busy, this is the weekend to sell student living!!!
