I'm very aware of a lot more than you think. I spent 25 years as a tool maker/millwright in Detroit. I got tired of getting laid off and having my life revolve around the auto industry.

So I packed things up and moved to Florida. Got a job doing machine work for NASA. While doing machine work, I put myself back through school and got a degree in Computer Science. I did IT work for about 10 years, and shortly after 911 gave that up and went to work with my wife working out of our home. So here we are today being responsible for our own path in life.


Guess we will all just have to agree to disagree, because this thing sure hung a left a long time a go.
