    Saturday coffee and general conversation thread Feb. 7

    No coffee yet here, but I'll soak a donut in some when wifey gets up & makes it. Still nice = not freezing at night which is great! Older daughter told me about a brilliant money-making scheme. She pays a guy $68 a month to pick up dog poop in her back yard. Not as cool as being a stock broker or bit coin miner, but think about it - no start up capital needed at all & no special training. The fellow told her he's added two employees because word of mouth advertising brought in more biz than he could handle. If he was really smart, he could franchise it!

    Nice to know capitalism is still alive & well in America!! "Back Yard Patrol" on the job! SW

    Reminds me of those who pay $10 for a cup of coffee at the local coffee shops. Taste is probably similar too.

    Speaking of dog poop, my brother used to be stationed at Anchorage Alaska while he was in the Air Force. He said all the local residents had dogs. Big dogs. The winters there are long and much of the year the ground is covered with snow. When the dogs crap, being warm, the poop melts downward into the snow out of sight. Come the first thaw of the spring time there are mountains of fresh and freshly frozen poop from the previous months everywhere you look.

    Those pooper scoopers would run from this.
