Courtesy of Google Image search: Couple checking out their smart phones.

Today I had lunch at my favorite Denny’s in Gun Barrel City, Texas.
After sitting down I could not help but notice
three different couples at their tables.
Each couple had a smart phone in their hands,
busily engaged in navigating.
 
As they played on their phones,
they so much as even looked at each other.
It was as each of them were on a date with the smart phone,
rather than each other.
What was so strange
they never even looked up
at each other
but were totally absorbed.  
 
It makes me wonder at times,
that when they go home,
they might be laying that smart phone
on their pillow. 
Perhaps when they go home,
they go to a family of little smart phones
with a smart phone meeting them
at the door with a wagging tail.
I wonder if they taught that smart phone
in how to fetch…..the paper?

“Seeking a ‘Handyman’ Crew for McKinney, Texas” copyright 2013, John J. Rigo, Texas’ Commentator

Needed: Handyman/woman crew for McKinney, Texas.

Needed: Handyman/woman crew for McKinney, Texas.

I am seeking a “Handyman Three-man Crew” for McKinney, Texas.  The requirements of the crew is that the lead man be fully skilled in all aspects of home improvement work.  The lead individual should also be a worker and not a pointing type supervisor constantly on cell calls for new business.  The lead man/woman should be capable of doing electrical, plumbing, painting, drywall. His or Hers two helpers should also be semi-skilled.  Hispanic help is acceptable, so long the individuals are trustworthy and have no criminal records.

I will require an hourly rate for the total crew “turn-key” with no up-charges for driving to our home or gas expenses.  The purpose of the work will be to prep a 3,900 square foot home on the Eldorado Golf Course for future sale.  The work will be required over a period of a month in at least six three to four-hour increments. 

Officially, the individual and crew that did this type of work previously for me has been terminated as of March 25th, 2013.  He was with me for fifteen years and remodeled over five properties for me during that period including the new Samaritan Inn of McKinney, Texas (one of my charity-centered projects). 

Contact John J. Rigo at 469-450-4144.  If no answer leave voice mail.  Most voice mail calls returned within minutes.
