for me the worst was a summer job in high school

I was climbing telephone poles for a local cable tv company (this was about 1976) doing an audit on the system - I had to disconnect a lot of lines from people stealing cable and incurred the wrath of a lot of housewives in trailer parks when I killed their cable in the middle of their soap operas

Been there - on an evening dare several years ago while out with some friends. Scary place indeed.

Summer job in 1956 working for a TV repair shop.
A tech and I went into the Ransom Home (Mental Institution) outside of Pittston, Pennsylvania to repair a TV that inmates had got into.

As a naive teenager, I got an idea on how it was inside a Nut House in the '50's.

Fixed the set and got the hell out of there. I told the shop owner to never send me back there.

IMO, my working in a max security Prison later in live was far less dangerous.

Painted large (LARGE) houses and did billboards in Houston as a kid. I'm not big on heights.

Worked in federal prisons for 30 years though including one with a nuthouse wing. Thoroughly enjoyed that work.

I worked in Belize for 6 months. There are places in Belize City you'd get shot over $20. Once went to a cave tubing expedition. Had a Beretta 92 pulled on us from the Guatamalan security guard there who thought my mate was checking out his ugly, fat, guatamalan wife, this lasted for about 10 minutes while I tried to talk the guy down until the American owner of the place finally heard the commotion and told him to put it down. Trust me, it is one VERY uncomfortable and scary feeling to be staring down the barrel of a 9mm with an irate drunk Guatamalan holding it, in the middle of nowhere and over 2 hours from the nearest hospital. A situation I will never, ever, forget.

I went to charm school in Manhattan, down in Wall Street. Wall Street wasn't particularly scary but getting there from mid Manhattan could be.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Flint, MI. And it was before the water problems too.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
