Saturday morning on a Clifton side street: chain-link fences, an old elm throwing shade across half a lawn, somebody's swamp cooler already ticking away on the roof. That is the world HANDYMAN SERVICES INC works in, one mow at a time, with the grass cut, the edge run, the walkway swept and the cuttings hauled away. None of it is complicated, which is precisely why it is easy to let slide for three weeks in the heat. Coming home to a yard already handled is a small and reliable happiness. Clifton is made of blocks like that, and they look better kept.
