Most people do like my neighbor, they just go there to work, but his house is still here, when he's out there, the company provides him with a housing allowance and he just rents a tiny apartment for one. His wife is here, I take care of all the man jobs for her, in his stead, then we he comes back, he brings me free meat, full beef tenderloins, my freezer is full of them.
