Tales of American entrepreneurship:

snip… So I came back and they had cleared the entire area, including my back gate, which I didn’t even ask for.

Two Hopkins med students making money for books. Tim and Tom. Nicest guys you could meet. And when they saw the old BMW motorcycle in the garage that I don’t ride anymore (hard to accommodate a service dog on a bike), they offered me top dollar to buy it. So I spent twenty dollars for good work and stand to make a nice little cash bundle on the bike.

I have always depended on the kindness of strangers and serendipitous chance encounters.

God bless Americans.

I named my MG Midget “Blanche”, because of all the push-starts.
