Regularly enough to be of statistical note. There are many oddities like this coming up. Rain/snow. Need to clean up the water and dirt that’s tracked in and at the same time, you discover that the wipers have worn out since you haven’t used them all summer. ---

If Amazon is to be believed, there is simply no such thing as enough lawnmowers. In 2008, I bought a small-base electric mower for my son who at that time was living in a condo and had only a postage stamp sized yard to maintain. Ever since that purchase, I am treated to a selection of lawn mowers chosen for me by Amazon each time I open the website. I have a service do my lawn because I travel quite a bit for work, so the likelihood of my ever purchasing another lawnmower is…well…zilch. And yet, Amazon faithfully displays them for me in hopes that I’ll want to acquire a fleet of them. Do people commonly buy lawnmowers in multiples?
