SS I carried the Re-Bagged Rubbish to the Rear of My Customers Home! I SAW MyNew Freind--the DOG--& Noticed His Water Dish was EMPTY--so I took it to the Out side Faucet & washed it OUT! & RE-filled it w/ Cool water--which He lapped Up most of It! So I refilled it again--that when the calling Neighbor asked me? if? I would like to Do His?--& if?I could Do it for the same Price as His Neighbor? YES!! NO problem! & have they asked You to attend the Cook out? BBQ! as I heard Toms Wife Ask Tom? if? He had contacted YOU! in referance to YOU attending Our Two Family get togther BBQ! YEH! TOM called ME early this Morning! & I*LL be here!--& Tom tells ME HE gave YOU a Key to His House! YES! yrs Ago--as TOM operates a Winter Ski Resort Winters & from about Thankgiving to early Spring theres No One Here!-So I drop By every Day! or So! to make Sure every things OK!--& I have done this since TOMMY was a BABY & Hes a Senior in Colledge Now! so its been a While!--but--I did have a Hard Time a few yrs Ago during the ICE storm that Knocked out Power for over a Week!--as several of My customers thought their Pipe swould Freeze?--& I was very BUSY using My Generator & Space Heater! keeping them ALL from Freezing! & where there was NO Radio or TV-- TOM figured HE Had Lost His Pipes? & called ME when the Power came back ON!--NOPE! every thngs OK! TOM never got over that! as I do ground work simply because I really enjoy it! & NOT just for the $$-- & to ME! & the 100 % trust all my customers have shown ME! HEY! MONEY can*t BUY that! NOT in my Book Any Way! --Ole JIM--

It's nice to hear that some people care for others and are not self centered like a lot of people I know.
