Consultant in the Recycling Business, You would be amazed as how much of the everyday stuff you throwaway is recycled.

One man's trash is another man's"Chinese" treasure.

Let's see...started my working life as a cashier at the PX, Ft Leavenworth, Ks. Did about 1 year with Hallmark cards making candles. Joined the Air Force, had a bad car wreck and was medically discharged (uncle sam make my bike and car payments). Decided to try school for 4 years. Then it was a cpl of years as a warehouse foreman at the Federal Pen in Bastrop, Tx. Then 15 long years with the Post Office until I went postal. Used all my retirement money running a web design business (that was my retirement...lasted 5 years). For the last 5 years I've been a Probation Officer here in San Angelo, TX. Still trying to come up with another business...much prefer working for myself.

I work at the other end of the food and beverage industry too. (My original joke, OK to use it if you quote me)... I remember telling my 3rd grade teacher when she asked us what we wanted to be. "of course, I want to be a wastewater maintenance manager". Product isn't that great coming in but the water we produce is crystal clear and I work with a great bunch of people.

Should be riding my new shiny red 09 FLHR in a couple of weeks...can't wait, the wait is killing me. Don't get in the way of that delivery truck from PA to CA.
