Re: Mind's Eye Re: Mind Courtesies

I had a list of 4 or 5, Allan. One neighbor paid $500. for fall clean-
up- excluding garden cut-backs. I think I waited for the right guy and
the right price. It's called a free market system or ask Archytas! Two
retired men still do the outside work but a lot of the neighbors are
professional couples and are willing to pay whatever- some are doctors
and need snowplows quite early. That is another point in my favor- the
men can work their other jobs first. Not sure why you think I am being
dishonest about this. Remember I did this along with 3 sons for a long
time or bribed them with food, the car, etc. :-) Don't wives also
bribe husbands, etc.?
