Before blogs, before the Tweets, Facebooks or Myspace was GeoCitie.  Yahoo’s free web space websites.  It was ad sponsored but if you have a small code snippet you could remove it.  Any way, Geocity was great for small businesses that did not have the money to design websites back then.  I used it for my window cleaning cartoons and this october they will be stopping service and deleting all the sites.

Well I was going over the sites I have and I found my very first cartoon I web published so I thought I would save it and post it here.

My Last post was about impostors window cleaner robbing clients. Sadly, that happens with real and fake window cleaners. And since cleaning is consider beneath most people and consider among many as uneducated type of work. Well, some uninformed people look down on any one that cleans toilets or windows for a living.  They forget that we are much more then the type of work we do.  Here is a great example of a humble hero, Mr. Jesus Cabrera

Man who rescued baby from fire to leave hospital

More than two months after he helped a young mother rescue her infant out of a burning house despite his own severe injuries, Jesus Cabrera will be released soon from Stony Brook University Medical Center.

At a bedside interview at the hospital on Friday, Cabrera, 43, recalled that on April 9, he woke up to smoke and flames in the room he rented at a Brentwood home. Cabrera, who works for an office cleaning company at night, said he was forced to run through the flames to get to the back door. Once outside, he heard his housemate, Wendy Maldonado, 18, call out for help. He saw her with her 3-month-old child in her arms, and smoke spewing out of the window.

Despite his burned lungs and already blistering arms, Cabrera said he reached up, grabbed the baby by an arm and pulled her out of an approximately 6-foot-high first-story window at the Suffolk Avenue house.

“After I got the baby, the mother came out through the window, and I handed the baby to the mother,” Cabrera said through a hospital interpreter. “After that, I don’t remember any more.”

Impostors posing as window cleaners raid home in the UK

This happens a lot in the UK, but today the Islington Gazette News is reporting about “Bogus window cleaners raiding homes”

POLICE are warning residents of burglars posing as window cleaners after a recent spate of thefts.

The latest burglary took place on June 10 in Wallace Road, Canonbury, where three men masquerading as window cleaners approached a 35-year-old woman at her door at around 5.35pm.

They claimed to have just finished cleaning her neighbours’ windows and offered to give her a quote to clean hers.

The woman let them into the house to see the rear windows, they agreed on a price and then one man went to the kitchen to fill his bucket.

The victim sat down in the living room and realised that the three men had left and her purse containing £130 cash and various bank cards had been taken.
