12-Year-Old Boy's Lawn Care Business Booming After Neighbor Called Cops
_________________
A 12-year-old boy's lawncare business is booming after a neighbor called the cops on him while the child was cutting the lawn of a customer. Reggie Fields and his family members were cutting the lawn of Lucille Holt when they got a visit from the Maple Hills Police Department because they had accidentally mowed a small portion Holt's neighbor's lawn.
Holt saw police and stepped outside to broadcast the encounter on Facebook LIVE. In the two-and-half-minute video, Holt explains that her neighbor called the cops when one of the kids mowed a small portion of the wrong lawn. Holt pointed out that it wasn't the first time her neighbor has called the police on her over small things.
Near the end of the video, a police officer asks her to step inside so he can speak to her and prevent any escalation between Holt and her neighbor.
Maple Heights Police Department Lieutenant Joe Mocsiran told Fox News that the young entrepreneur is not in any trouble with the police.
“A little kid is out there working hard -- heck no,” he said, explaining that it’s difficult to tell where one person’s lawn starts and another ends in the neighborhood where the incident occurred. After the story went viral, Fields' business, Mr. Reggie’s Lawn Cutting Service, has seen a major boost in business. Holt told WEWS that people have been reaching out to her to get in touch with Reggie because they have property they want him to mow.
Reggie has been getting calls from all over the city and said that he plans to use the money he earns to buy more equipment to expand his business.
Reggie told any potential customers to give him a call and promised that he will be there on time.

Sorry if I bothered you.
I ENJOY flying. 3 TATL RTs this year plus another trip to the East Coast. Having status / TSA-Pre / lounge access helps a lot — first class check-in, better seats, early boarding with lots of available overhead space, shorter security lines with less work, lounges with food at most airports.
Oh, and I basically fly for free. East coast was 11.20 RT. Europe is about $200. We’ve done Hawaii for $11.20 for each.
Not bothered at all.
Thanks.
Why, yes, it is.
So when are any of you going to tell us what this TSA pre-check is?
Soon they’ll ban snacks too.
We drive, and often get there faster since the places we want to go never have direct flights.
Flying nude after body cavity checks is coming soon.
I tell people the same thing. I drive or I don’t go.
I just got back from a trip Tuesday. TSA Pre Check. Most larger airports have separate pre check lines so you don’t have to wait in their awful, long lines. Denver had about a 1/2 hour regular line. Precheck was walk right through. You don’t have to take your shoes off or laptops/tablets, etc. out of your carry on. Just put them in the bins and they scan them. A lot faster.
Assuming this is an honest question:
You register, pay a fee, have a background investigation and an in-person interview (similar to the minimum background investigation for federal employment). You then get to bypass the main lanes and the unpacking at security. (They can still pick you out for regular screening). There's a companion program that gets you in the express lines for international travel - "Global Traveler". Global Traveler costs a bit more, but includes all PreCheck benefits.
An airline can give out pre-check passes to frequent, unregistered travelers on a single flight basis - a reward for good customers, and marketing for the program. I've gotten several of the single flight passes over the years. If I still traveled a lot, I'd go for the Global Traveler program.
One step closer to required nude boarding.
Next you will be issued a towel, board naked and then be reunited with your clothes once on board.
Scam by the airlines/airport vendors who now make you purchase snacks or buy inside airport
Same with us, it has been 12 years since out last ever airport experience. We will never fly again in our life times. 20 - 30 years. There is plenty to see and do without getting on a plane or using an airport.
Bulk explosives look exactly the same as organic powdered food or pastes on the scanners. A six pack of toothpaste could easily be a six pack of C4 with a twist top.
Carry all your snacks is one carry on, or put it all in a check on. Then let them swab it.
TSA is the only thing between you and jihadi, a scary thought if you contemplate it.
Not contenT with our belts and sweaters, the thieves want free lunches.
