Saw a guy at the county landfill area loading up on the free mulch they provide there.
He was shoveling it onto a tarp in the trunk of his Jaguar.
Talk about tiger woods mowing his grass!
I must be missing something. I'm having trouble understanding why someone would buy something first, and only then start figuring out how to get it home. Am I misreading this?
As a kid I made money by rowing around the harbor selling the new York times and doughnuts, and picking up the garbage from visiting yachts. Is that so different?
How about stores that offer delivery!
Or Lowes which rents trucks on the cheap, for short durations.
