Riding Mower
Does anyone know why a person feels like their 10 feet tall after you get off a riding mower for a minute of two ? I know it's not just me, I hope....

Because of the pressure that has been on one's hips then standing up has now gone and pressures have changed:
The blood flows easier to the legs, and the effect of different weight and pressure on the hip ball/socket, the back muscles change position
The muscles tighten, the nerve endings are stimulated a different way from the spine.

Maybe it's because the grass is so much shorter... and/or because your so proud of how good the lawn looks!
