Used to make a killing as a kid shoveling everyone's walkways and driveways growing up in Ohio. Hilariously I can remember having a fight with a big kid (he was 14 and I was probably 11, maybe 12). He saw all the money I was making and wanted to steal all my customers. He bloodied my nose but I didn't relent and soon he went away when he found out all these customers were also my paper route and lawn moving customers. He didn't have the work ethic anyhow so he wouldn't have lasted. Grew up and moved to Southern California so no snow to shovel anymore but always recall the serenity of the cold snowy nights, shoveling and drinking hot chocolate and then shoveling some more!
