Default Parallel grass/paved runways

A quick P.S....

I realize I might have made it sound like our grass is immediately
adjacent to the runway; which would make the base-to-final a lot
closer / less-safe with both powered and glider traffic
simultaneously. Our mowed grass strip is separated from the paved
runway edge by about 150' of tall grass. So there's some horizontal
separation when aircraft are coming in on parallel final approaches.
