I called yesterday, and got confirmations from family members who run the business (in two shifts).

1) AM shift: That certainly sounds like him.

2) PM shift: I've never made the trip with him, but I'm told, "He doesn't stop for 'passengers in need' of a stop."
I don't know what to add: When this tree-cutter arrives at daybreak, he unpacks a few bags, then goes out to trim trees! He's "The Energizer Bunny" everywhere he goes—even behind the wheel.

We're talking Winter and not so much, Summer. Summers are for Lake Winnipesaukee.

I'd earlier suggested Central Florida lakes, as most of us enjoy lakes in general. Why not year-round fun in the sun, when lakefront house-costs are so reasonable—inland? November ends hurricane season, but hurricanes are more intense at coasts. At a Florida lake, you're guaranteed your very own Florida beach, and much more freedom to control your waterfront's appearance.

Large reptiles are in every Florida lake (and most South Florida seacoasts), but attacks are very rare. Even Gomek tolerated humans wandering into his St. Augustine enclosure.

There's equivalence with "scofflaw" and "bad driver"?
