re: #172 Feline Fearless Leader
I lasted about two days picking strawberries as a teen. Too slow and a little too picky about how heavily the berry had been chewed on by slugs.
5am-2pm work. And back-breaking from working down a row of 8-12” high plants picking berries while bent over. Or if you tried a bent-knee approach your back was better off but your knee joints got worked over.
I’ve often wondered if hispanics can handle the work better because they tend to be a bit shorter .
