I never ever buy, borrow, lend, or sell to family, friends or neighbors

All that plus I ‘love’ my family so much that I am carrying on an old family tradition that guarantees that there will be absolutely NO arguing or fighting over some inheritance or anything of any great value.
When in the Asphalt business I would not only not do a neighbors driveway, if at all possible they figured that IF I WORKED, it must have been in some kind of ‘illegal’ operation that they figured not a good idea to talk to me about it.
One of my ‘favorite’ answers to the age old question
