What's turning the grass black
 
Both my neighbor and I have spots where the grasses turning black, almost
moldy looking. The areas are irregular. I can't see anything like a fruiting
structure, but it is black, not brown.
No frost yet

Here's a link to your state's cooperative extension service. The 6th link
looks promising. If not, I'd give them a call. One of their functions is to
assist homeowners with questions like yours. And, they'll be more familiar
with local disease issues than probably any other source.

If it looks like tiny balls/dots of black on the surface of the blades,
maybe affecting a small patch 6-12 inches wide, then it is probably slime
mold. Slime molds are not pathogenic to the grass, it just looks ugly. It'll
just go away when it gets drier, but it will come back in the future. No
control measure is needed. You could just hose it off.

Did I tell you guys about the woman at the feed store last winter? I was
picking up a bag of bird seed and this woman was screaming at the
clerk/owner that they were a bunch of racists for having "niger seed" for
the birds.
... ( btw, she was pale of complexion).

The worst part - I could make a fairly educated guess to her "vehicle",
since I recognized the usual suspects in the lot (yup - I'm there a lot) and
it was covered with "if you can read this, thank a teacher" and the like
bumper stickers.

Some people should stay in the city......

A slimeball of the worst kind. Racist and impersonating someone else.

There is a difference between the erroneous outrage of the woman in the
feed store and the demented stereotypes of your videos, rob. The former
was out of ethnic concern, the later is tribal mockery. You are an
embarrassment to humanity and a waste of space.

maybe so Billy, maybe so. The lady in the feed store may have been genuinely
mistaken. The videos of the militant black guy were a deliberate set up,
tribal mockery as you called it, whatever that is. You are free to find that
stuff embarrasing or a waste of space if you choose. To me it is a **** take
of extreme racial intolerence or sensitivity or affirmative action. It could
also simply be a guy trying to take the **** out of people. I myself don't
view it too seriously.

I'm sorry, I don't quite catch your banter. Two people separated by a
common language, and all that. What I do know is that many of us are
defined by the media. Women are supposed to be thin and young, blacks
are supposed to be hip and promiscuous, Native Americans are stoic and
wise, and white men are balding children with pot bellies. The media
holds up examples of who we are, and too many people believe it. Malcolm
X, Martin Luthur King Jr., and Bill Cosby would not find "The Militant
Black Guy" funny. If you are not a person of color, I would put that
shit away and don't offer it again. It is offensive.
