Reservoir_Park_Skyline Who I met today.

I met a neighbor. His name is Ken. HI! HI KEN!!!

So, I asked that man to take a look at this website.

Actually, we met when I went to his rental property here on my street and started to rake the lawn there. He was surprised. I said, “Well, I need these leaves for my garden.” Later, he saw that I was serious, as I was busily cleaning up the front lawn for him, a total stranger.

Then, he wanted to ask me if I might like to also have the leaves in the back yard as well ;-) .

I said, well, I could maybe use them, too. Then he wanted to give me money and he asked me, “Is ten alright?” I stretched out my hand and took an old ten dollar bill in my hand. Then I said, “You know what I’d rather have?”

Then I waved the ten note a bit at him and made him take it back. He said, “What?” I said, “I want you to sign up at my website.” Then I gave him the address. You know, I don’t think he will come. He won’t register, perhaps.

But why did I not take that ten dollar bill? Well, it’s too expensive. That money, if I take it, costs me more than if I do the work for free…

Interesting concept. Well, you’ll have to come back tomorrow to hear the rest, I raked for over 3 hours and I ‘m really bushed. Good night!
