You're quite a tall lady at 5'9-1/2", ksquared. Helps explain the bumped noggin. Most tall ladies I've known seem to be happy with their height, although they usually cite clothing and finding sufficiently tall men as being somewhat problematic.
I'm pleased to announce, on behalf of Sears, that my new mower started on the first tug. Mostly importantly, it got the tall grass in the back yard mowed, finally. The larger 14" rear wheels do seem to make it easier to push, and the 62% more horsepower (6.5 vs. 4.0) gives it more ease as well. The mulch blade left the yard clean as whistle .. the old one tended to leave a few clippings unmulched. The model number is 917.388522, for anyone interested in that sort of thing.
A memorial service for Mower II is a thoughtful idea. However, since it still has half a tank of gasoline, caution would be advised with the candles.
I've always driven GM vehicles as well, except for a brief excursion into foreign territory .. a '72 VW Super Beetle. It had a critical problem that caused me to unload it after a short time .. in rainy and very high humidity weather, it was difficult to start. Not a good problem to have on the Texas Gulf coast. No complaints about any of the GM vehicles. I've stuck with them even after claims that the Japanese models are made with higher quality. And yes, my Buick Regal has plenty of headroom. It's a midsize car but has virtually the same interior height and legroom dimensions as the full size LeSabre (or whatever they call the big Buick now).
