    We had our house exterior painted this past week. The guys who did it were referred to me by my father-in-law; they had done some painting for him recently.

    The lead guy, Richard-- about age 30, dropped out of school in the sixth grade because he didn't like reading and writing. He likes to learn by hearing. Over the past few years he has been learning languages: Portuguese and Japanese. He says he's about 50% fluent on those two as well as English and Spanish.

    His crew included his father and his ex-brother-in-law. They did such a nice job and were so great to have working around the house that my wife suggested that we give them the old redwood play set that our girls had outgrown a couple of years ago... if they would move it, it would be theirs.

    When offered, Richard eagerly accepted it as he has one young child at home and more "planned."

    They finished painting on Wednesday and came back today, Saturday, to move the play set with three separate pieces-- a house with a picnic bench and a ramp and a a rope ladder, a swing set, and a see-saw.

    BTW, Richard was born in Acapulco.

    They are all legal residents-- so say they. Legal or illegal, good people. Just make it legal!
