I don't think the job took those young men 20 minutes total, they did

certainly isn't "high pay" but it beats welfare whining and it earns
both self-respect for them and the respect of their customer.

It was also right neighorly of you to let them use your blower; another fine
example of Minnesota Nice. ;-)

Oh, sure. I reckon he had both thumbs tucked under his suspenders and
a big grin on his face when the kids saw his BigUn, too. wink

P.S: That's $30/hour APIECE for 20 minutes' worth. They'll not starve,
and they're doing the community a service. win/win.

"Human nature itself is evermore an advocate for liberty.
There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and
indignation against wrong. A love of truth and a veneration
of virtue. These amiable passions, are the latent spark. If
the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling
the differences between true and false, right and wrong,
virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of
mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"
