Smart or Lazy?
I did something Sunday that I have never done before, and the existential ramifications continue.
Sometime around 1 p.m., just after the Bills-Jaguars football game/monstrosity started, an older man knocked at my door; when I answered it, he said that he was raking leaves from neighborhood lawns and would charge $5. Having not had time to get to it and wanting the walkway to be safe for Val, I said yes.
By the time he finished our lawn, which is actually a double property wise (next-door property got deeded to the previous owner after a fire damaged the roof of the house, which was never repaired until we replaced the entire roof this year), he had cleaned up an amazing amount of leaves, deposited most of them and piled up the rest by the driveway. I paid him $10.
I have never hired or paid anyone to rake our leaves, plow or shovel our snow or anything like that before, but my scheduled has been a bit busy, and the price was more than reasonable. Does this make me a bad person?
