Laying pipe while in college, does not make you a pipe fitter.

Yea, George Bush just got inducted into Mensa, Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman, and Howie is not color blind, and just bought an L89 nova.

I do my part. I cut my own lawn, clean my own house, change my own oil, etc. Nobody...not just the kids...wants to be bothered with this stuff anymore. They want the big house & lawn but have no interest in maintaining it....AND no interest in paying fair prices to get it done. We've brought this on ourselves. The landscapers are just being smart businessmen.

I just finished my weekly mowing/edging/trimming hedges front/back. While I was edging out front my across the street neighbor's Mexican yard guys arrived to do his yard. They gave me a cold look and I just smiled at the senior guy and said "How ya' doin." He used to have an old beater '70s Chevy pickup but today he was driving a new, black Dodge crew cab with the trailer of gear on the back. I guess business is good.

Yep...partially true. Honestly, my wife would prefer to hire someone to cut the grass and clean the house but I refuse. Just something I feel strongly about. If we can't take care of what we have, I'd just assume move to something smaller.
