Dear Eric: My husband and I live next door to a family that, when having work done at their house, tends to use low-wage, unlicensed workers. We found out they are getting their driveway repaved. The men we saw with our neighbor were in an unmarked truck and may not be professional concrete workers. I said to my husband that if they start jackhammering into the driveway without calling the utility company to get the underground utilities marked, I was going to call the utility company.

Lou Schiff says he “grew up in retail.” The kid from Brooklyn didn’t realize it at the time, but it was an ideal training ground for how he would spend much of his working life — as a Broward County judge. “People will remember how you treated them long after they’ve forgotten what the results of their case were,” he says. He grew up rooting for the Amazin’ Mets in 1969 and once dreamed of a career in baseball or playing the trumpet.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: At casual restaurants and upscale establishments alike, I am frequently served a large piece of meat perched atop a too-full bowl — say, a large piece of grilled chicken on an overflowing salad bowl, or tennis-ball-sized meatballs perilously balanced on a full bowl of pasta.
