    JK> That's neat :) We have a neighbor who's started plowing our driveway for   
    JK> $15.00.. works for us .. before that we were at the mercy of   
    JK> teenagers who wanted to make $$ which was good, but we had to hope they'd   
    JK> come by after a snowstorm if we too busy to get to it..   
      
    MH> If I had to wait for teenagers to shovel snow, we would be waiting   
    MH> forever. Not a single one of them in our neighborhood shovels.  Too   
    MH> spoiled and lazy. Not many around here want to get their hands dirty.    
      
   Around here, it seems the kids are rather entrepreneuring... they show   
   up shortly AFTER Richard finishes shoveling our walks and the concrete   
   portion of the driveway... and offer to shovel for us...  :)  Richard   
   thinks they're just nuts, I think they see an easy job...   Or don't   
   realize that the reason the bulk of the drive isn't shoveled down to   
   asphalt is because it isn't, it's grass in the middle and stones in the   
   drive path...  ;)   
      
    MH> I used to see dollar signs when it snowed when I was a teen.  That is   
    MH> how I bought several of my computers back in the day.    
      
   Our son did a fairly good business, shoveling in the winter, mowing   
   lawns in the summer... used his own mower, his own shovel... that was   
   over twenty years ago now, though...   :)
