Our lawn in Raleigh had a good deal of Mica in the soil. It was in a layer
about 2' down, but the cut for the basement exposed a lot on the north side
of the house. It then became incorporated in the topsoil there. At times
of the day, direct sunlight would beam between a gap in the roofline-
creating a sunbeam between two shadows. I noticed when mowing that the air
"sparkled" in the sunbeam, and it was again apparent when mowing at night,
using headlights.
The mica particles were so fine and light that they drifted around much
longer than ordinary dust or dried clippings- they almost seemed to "float"
in the air for long after I would have finished mowing and disturbing them.
Months ago, during the Anthrax terrorism, I read an article somewhere that
stated Anthrax needed an aerosol-type of carrier to be an effective weapon.
As I recall, the article mentioned some finely milled clay as the dispersal
agent. To me, that's nuts, since clay "wets" easily and clumps. I always
thought that Anthrax, milled with mica, would be far more effective than
Anthrax milled with any type of clay. To this day, I always wondered if the
"clay" article was some disinformation put out to possibly stop somebody
from using something else.

I'd raise the blade if that's a problem. At least when
it's dry, anyway. Dust clouds, aerosolization, bathroom
exhaust fans, and all that...
PLUS! Apparantly there is a lot of ANTHRAX in the dirt, and the mowers
are
likely to stir it up. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IBYM: "shitload of ANTHRAX". All the squirrels dropping
from trees are a dead giveaway. That's why I wear a full
body condom, and hose myself down with bleach afterward,
whenever I go outside. Because otherwise...
ANTRAX IS IN THE MOTHER****ING HOUSE!!!!11!!!1!
I'm positive that the terrorists are the ones who put anthrax in our
dirt.
