I'm only 42 or I'd be sure you were my brother. And when you heard that skinny leather belt popping through the belt loops when dad took it off, you knew chit was about to get real!!!
My first job was at western supermarkets also. Well first tax paying job. I cut grass and all I kind of other stuff from 11 yrs old on up. You don't see 11 yr old kids pushing a lawn mower around the neighborhood to cut grass anymore.


LOL I'd forgotten about cutting grass. Before Western my mother would drive me to folks houses and drop me off to cut the yard and do yard stuff. I had maybe 7-8 yards I did weekly. I was maybe 13-14.


You guys just jogged my memory. I used to cut yards during the Summers, picked up aluminum cans, soda bottles for deposit, raked yards. I knew we didn't have much but I wasn't going to sit around and pout about it.
