Whoa Rip,
that's a waste, huh?

to bring you others up to speed quote from rips from 2002...


Pass it along

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first week of the relationship with my boss He gave me two pickup truck loads of trees in nursery containers. Filled the back yard of my Appartment right up. This was 18 years ago. This spring I propigated about 2,500 trees for him.
When we got together we knew several men who would not give you a leaf off of there tree much less a tree. Today none of these men has any trees left and they didn't give them away or sell them they just lost them. My boss and I have more trees than any one should have.
My point is, "the man who is generous will always have more than he can give away" I have seen this and I believe it. I also try to live by it.
