Now, I’m not trying to scare you out of cleaning your own windows with Windex, but if you use a LOT of spray cleaners and air fresheners, you might want to read this. Click here. I only use dish detergent in my bucket of soapy water, so I hope that isn’t going to be a […]

I’m back!

Just in case you didn’t know, I lost my runoff election to be Mayor of this city. It was a nail-biter. I lost 6,110-6,068 in a nasty, mud-slinging campaign. It is no wonder that good people don’t want to do this. But, I firmly believe that ordinary people with common sense must prevail periodically, so […]

Don is running for Mayor of Gainesville

If you have known me for very long, you know that I have been politically active for the past 10 years. One day I realized that I had not been a very good citizen and I started getting involved in our system of self-government. Well, one thing has led to another, and now I find […]

Coming into the home stretch

I just got back from Atlanta, where we celebrated by daughter’s birthday with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. I really needed the time off. I was definitely suffering from window cleaning burnout. I still have openings before Christmas and New Years Day. Please feel free to call and if you are a new customer, […]

Screwed by Tires Plus

I seldom put this sort of information on my blog, but I am feeling so burned by this particular dealer that I am going to do my part to make them infamous. I have spent thousands of dollars at a local Tires Plus shop on NW 13 Street over the years. The relationship is OVER […]

Dave Ramsey’s Town Hall for Hope

Many of my customers ask me how my business is doing. After I tell them, they often reveal how worried they are about the future. They frequently know someone who is on the rocks, or can tell me that they are not so hot themselves.
This Thursday night there is a live event being simulcast to […]

“I am back from the beach!”

Once in awhile, Don the window cleaner just needs to get away. My wife, Cindi, and I did just that with a quick trip to our closest resort city, St. Augustine Beach. I just cannot get enough of the ocean, so I take every opportunity to go even if it’s just to feel salt water […]
