I grabbed my shovel and walked across the street and asked if she needed me to dig her out....



She said the landscaper crew was on their way....



I told her if they didn't get there give me a call and I would do it.


the next time I looked out the window, her drive was done completely.


kids can't compete with the speed and quality these guys were doing,



not sure how much they charge.

I blame the Jews.

The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him.

maybe,



but the influx of cheap labor has priced out a lot of work previously done by kids.


how many "paper boys" do you see these days,


we have some old guy in an Explorer delivering in our neighborhood.


I saw the quality of job the crew did across the street.


better and faster than any kid could do,



I don't know how much more they charged.
