When I was about 12 my buddy and I shoveled snow from 8:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night, we made $100 each, in 1969, my dad said you made more money today than I do for a day's work as a grown man.

100 bucks in 69 was real money. 10 bucks an hour... not bad.
These days I paid $200 for having the gutters cleaned. Took two folks one hour. Four 55 gallon bags worth of pine needles. I still do most of my yard work but I'm scared of the ladder and walking on the roof.

In 1963 & 64 I worked in a machine shop for the summers.
As a machinist helper I made $2.64 an hour, took home $90 a week. I paid my folks $50 a month room & board, had me a 600cc AJS Typhoon & a berry '53 Olds convert.
For a young stud, I was rich!

Gauchos have been using boleadoras for centuries. Similar concept. Next time some motherfolk pulls out his AK or Glock, you pull out your Wrap. hahahaha. Just make sure you miss the neck area, hahahaha. What if you miss the first shot? Do they make them semi-automatic?
Spray'em, taze'm, wrap'm... don't shot'm. hahahaha... What if there is more than one attacker? hahahaha I'v never been in combat but I'v seen it on TV hahahah.
