Your Career or what you do day to day?

My experience driving past paper factories is that the entire town smells. I would put purell under my nose and light 2 cigarettes just to try and not smell the factory. I hope yours is less aromatic.

Oh, Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania Drew is referring to. That's Townie USA there for sure. I remember when I was teaching in Virginia and I had to travel through that awful town to get home. The smell was HORRIBLE and I'm pretty sure that it was the reason for the particularly low IQ of the local townies there. I used to always see the sign that said "____ days without an accident" as you passed the Domtar paper plant. Usually it was never more than 3 or 4 days. Here's a quote from another forum that pretty much sums up Johnsonburg, PA.

"Johnsonburg is one of the most secluded, small, smelly, and dead end towns anywhere in the nation. I lived there throughout my childhood but now live in Utah (Salt Lake City), which is a totally different universe. I would not recommend anyone to move to Johnsonburg unless they were going to be a manager or CEO, CFO, or executive at the Domtar Paper Mill. I wouldn't move anywhere close to here. Pittsburgh or Erie, but def. not Johnsonburg or anywhere within 1 or 2 hours."

This is an interesting subject. So much knowledge from all different aspects. All put together for the good of one hobby.

Raised in the construction business but figured there had to be a better way. Became a commercial pilot and when I got too old went back to the construction business. Spend my time between running jobs and still operating equipment.

Here is an older thread on the same subject.

Thanks for bringing that up. I completely forgot about that thread and now have merged the two to keep similar posts in the same thread.

I've got to go back and read through these. Should be fun to see what's changed.

I am currently an Eskimo ivory carver. Did this part time for 20 years. I've won over 20 local art awards (state-wide artists, including from Russia, have entered).
I am also a retired alcohol counselor. Thus no beer here. We could still hang out and ride though, right?
