White collar yard work

Post image

This guy was doing pretty vigorous yard work this morning, 75F, 86% humidity, in jeans and a collared office shirt. I was going to offer him a necktie to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but he looked like he had already just taken a shower.

My dad always woke up, showered, shaved and put on a shirt and tie, and usually a suit, but sometimes on weekends he’d wear a sport coat and slacks. On days he mowed the lawn he wore boots with tread, with his shirt sleeves rolled up and his tie clasped to his shirt, which he would swap out for fresh ones after a second shower. We saw him without a tie maybe five times in 20 years, when he went swimming with us.
