40. In contrast to this Karen and because I'm a Democrat...

Friday

There were several hispanic landscapers working right next door to me last week. I didn't have any need to hire a company for the small items I needed done and couldn't find anyone who would do such a small task. So I walked over there and asked two of them if they could do it for me after they were through working on the big job they were hired to do. They said they would come back at the end of their day which they did. I handed each of them a $50 bill. The work only took them about 15 minutes, but I was desperate to get this done before winter so I could plant something.
