Since my house is on wheels I was easily able to move back while the google camera as trying to take a picture. I think they got the lawn jockey, though.

Arp? Using "effort" as a verb.

Tsk tsk.

Arp and I agree on few things. Grammar is one of them. Call me a traditionalist, but "effort" as a verb is just wrong.

There's no road to worry about going down....he's (pretty much) exactly right.

All can rest assured that I use "effort" as a verb no more than once or twice a year...at most! Now that I think about it, that may be only the second time I've done it.

So I don't need to mention that I just went to dictionary.com and found 10 references for "effort", none of which was a verb.
Like I said, Arp and I agree on little, but I always tell people if your job IS the English language, at least learn it.

So you wouldn't mind if I corrected the four or five mistakes contained right there?

Any time. I plead poetic license.
