Yes. He died of lung cancer caused by smoking at age 66. He took up smoking after retiring from athletics and even advertised Chesterfields. The advert said, "When Jesse Owens smokes, he smokes Chesterfields."

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

When performing work on your lawn, it is wise to join together tasks that can be done at the same time. For example you can aerate your lawn as well as apply lime at the same time. Finish the job with raking away dead clippings and dirt clods from aeration. Enrich the grass by applying fertilizer or herbicides according to product directions.

Water your lawn well when in need and adjust for drought. When the lawn is in need of cutting, be sure to cut at least a 1/3 of the lawn's length with a sharp bladed mower. Also mow the yard in a pattern, this helps to ensure even growth. Trim the edges of your lawn with the appropriate equipment and maintain weeds to upkeep your lawn in all areas.
