They were cutting grass around my condo when a one of their riding mowers slung Herbert against my back sliding glass doors and cracked it in a 1000 places.

I was going to replace the door regardless because it was fogged up, but the landscaping company paid to replace my doors with a nice pair of energy efficient double pane sliding glass doors, Herbert and I have been best friends ever since.
