  • Being Neighborly

    I'm just about in tears. Superman said he'd have SM Jr. come wash our cars for us. Well, he wasn't kidding. Jr. won't even let me pay him, not even on the sly. He said if I gave him any money he'd just give it right back. What great friends and neighbors.

    Jr. said, "I'll come back over later and see how many views I got."

        I've never washed more than one vehicle per day in my whole life.

          That was way fun. Jr. insisted I set up a chair in the garage to supervise. He wanted me to watch. He said, "Red is an important car. I don't want to mess him up."

          When he got to Bubba the Truck I showed him how to use the air hose and a pressure gauge to pump up the tires. That was VERY cool.

            Great neighbors! You are very lucky in many ways. Hope you get to the point of washing your own cars, and hopefully soon.

                  Pdub, can you send that young man down my way? I've got 5 vehicles setting around the place three of which need washing. Two have plenty of bugs and bug guts on the front that need removing.........

                    I told him up front, I cleared it with him - I'm going to take your photo and put it on the worldwide web. He approved it. He's the star of the show in all of the school broadway shows, and those shows are amazingly remarkable. So he doesn't mind a camera. He can sing and dance and play guitar, too.

                    He said, "Sure, I'll be famous for being the best car washer in the whole world." He's that, and a whole lot more. Superman has a user account on BangShift, let's see if he comes online to arrange Jr.'s travel to Fayetteville to wash some more cars. What a great kid. One of a kind these days.

                    EDIT: Oh, and a kayak champ too. Throw him in the raging river water in a kayak and see what he does.

                      Yesterday I came home from the hospital, it was about dark. I was coming down the hill and around the curve.....look at THAT. While I was at the hospital, Superman had cut our grass and SM Jr. had whacked down some unsightly dead flower bushes out by the curb, piled up.

                      This afternoon I came home from the hospital and opened the garage door and was hobbling in there....wait a minute, that 500-pound box full of griddle grill had moved significantly. Now it's in a totally different spot. Maybe Superman used the hand trucks to get it further out of the way or something. So I get into the house and doing all of the house start-up procedures and I opened the blind over the kitchen sink.

                      Superman and Jr. had come over here during the day and built that grill. Are they great friends and neighbors or WHAT?
