The most striking incongruity with our modern era to me is that the family was all outside when the blast occurred. With pervasive screens, we just don't get outside like we used to.

And why on earth was that dad mowing when the house was able to take care of it?

To be alone for an hour.

I've got a neighbor who I'm pretty sure would still be out there.

To smell fresh cut grass. It can be quite enjoyable.

The things we enjoy doing, we prefer to do ourselves. For example: coding.
