    I drive a yellow cab in the world's greatest city, 4 nights a week.

    There's a blog I keep up where I talk about my nights and thoughts about what goes on in New York. If I'm allowed to post the link here and anyone wishes to see it, I'd be more than happy to!

    What makes me laugh about you being a history teacher is that I always judged my history teachers by their opinion of Ronald Reagan.

    Over 600 posts and I'm the first? I'm surprised, we dental techs drink a lot.

    I actually failed my metals class in high school one semester or maybe I got a D-. Not that I could have learned anything useful in that class anyways it was a joke. Half of the equipment was broken, our teacher barley held us to any standards, and when I took "advancd metals" the next year where we were supposed learn cool stuff we got a new teacher who knew even less (he was a former engineer lol). He ended up just telling all the advanced students to show the students in basic what to do because they also decided to combine the two classes underclassmen and upper.

    Luckily for me despite my poor grades I'm fairly intelligent so I just learned everything on the job in the last 5 years or so. Now I make parts for the likes of GM, GE medical (MRI parts mostly), Harley Davidson, lots of prototype and early stage developmental parts too for all sorts of companies. Its a fun job its hard work but its very gratifying. The world wouldnt be much without people like us.

    Would it be fair to say that it sounds like as long as the occupation involves balls it is fair game for you?

    Does it really take shaking, or do you just know, often enough?

    I might need some advice of where to buy beer (retail). I'm out there in the fall. Who has a good selection of stuff from The Bruery, Dogfish Head, and Clown Shoes near the strip?
