I came a few years ahead of you in the "lawn cutting business". As a teenager I actually had one yard that I cut from 1957 to 1961 for $3.00 that was over an "acre", got no "raises" or "tips", and my lawn mower was not "self-propelled". Also for a quarter(25 cents), I went to the Saturday Cowboy Movie for 14 cents, had a bag of popcorn for 10 cents, and had a "penny" left over for a piece of bubble gum. By the way, the lawn cutting was usually in the 95 degree range in the hot north Alabama sunshine. Also, we went to school six weeks during the summer, and then let out six weeks to help the farmers "pick" cotton. We were paid $3.00 per one hundred pounds picked and you really had to be a "good picker" picker if you could pick 200 pounds a day. You used either a 6 foot or 9 foot long bag and would pull it to the "wagon" to weigh when it got too heavy to "puii". After six weeks we went back to school and believe me we were ready to go back. And to those of us that are still around to remember, those were the good "ole" days in my "hometown" of Town Creek, Alabama. My how times have "changed" and I would like to have a "one on one" wiith "Biden".
