So it’s late in the afternoon, I been behaving, the thread has several pages now.

I am mellowing out so I thought I’d write a thoughtful piece on Lovi.

Just some random thoughts; give me credit for trying to comprehend.

Lovi Vasquez is my landscaper. Been my guy since my daughter refused to help me as she promised when moving here. He told me to call him Angil, then he said “BELOW”...just like that sounds. I’m thinking he was trying to tell me LOW-VEE, as his name is spelled and how it’s pronounced.

I think.

Lovi does take text messages on his cell phone so that’s mostly how we communicate as he can get someone to help translate it.

Of course he’s illegal. Now I didn’t know that when he left a card in my mailbox when I was about ready to pour weed-killer over my entire lawn in desperation. And Delaware is chock full of Ecuadorans, Guatamalans.....the chicken industry thing.

But about Livo.....he’s a nice guy, does a magnificent job....no I don’t understand much of what he says. He never mows without blowing off all sidewalks, the driveway, the porch, the back deck....yeah. He also uses a weed whacker and trims around all trees, buildings, etc.

Last month he, to my surprise, shows up with an entire crew, truck, long thing in the back, riding mower (you stand up on the thing!), leaf blower he wears on his back.

His crew mulched and trimmed and cleared all my gardens and he did a great job.

Now I have hired “American” landscapers before....they charge a fortune and then THEY hire Mexicans to do all the work.

I am just so impressed at how Livo does his job, the pride he takes....how he went from one little lawnmower to outfitting a full landscaping company.

Now Livo wants my help. He can’t speak English, he’s seen my Blogs and he’s also seen a couple of books I wrote.

No, I am not going to get involved with Livo’s business, whatever it is. He also works a full time job, by the way, doing his own work on evenings and weekends.

But the guy is stuck. He can’t speak English. He got a lot of calls from here in my own community when they saw how great he did my lawn.

So that’s all. Just some musing.

Livo seems to drive all over the place, now with big carts and stuff....evidently nobody plans to deport Livo.

Please understand, I do not know Livo’s situation. But I’m pretty sure he’s illegal.

Y’all heard about that nut job in Delaware...Baumbach...yeah I know the guy...putting up a bill to make the entire state of Delaware a sanctuary state?

This elected gubmint just keeps flipping us the bird that they make the rules. With the Republicans always looking the other way.

This Baumbach is in big trouble. Because guess what? We understand such as fences, walls and locks out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs.

THIS is a big reason why the electorate is revolting against the elected. We want rules, we want the rules to be enforced, we don’t want a wild and wooly running amok country with everything chaotic and scattershot.

And when Trump deports all the illegals but let’s them re-apply....which Trump says he’s going to do and I am certainly okay with that....I will personally help Livo reapply, maybe even teach him English.

Cause they say we have no heart when we send them away. Oh yes we have hearts, big hearts us Americans. But we also want sanity and reason.

I’m jus’ sayin’.
