    It has come to my attention!

    that I have never done an official introduction soooooo, here goes.
    born in omaha 1942/43 depending on which birth certificate you believe

    raised in a small sw Iowa farm town 622 pop.
    was the resident juvinile delinquent.
    (never leaned to spell)
    went to work at 14 as the local butcher shop slaughter/skinner guy This came in handy many years later when my government decided they needed me in a far off land to win the hearts and minds of the people there.

    lived for periods of time in Omaha, Des Moines. LA, sacremento, Tulsa, Joplin. florida.



    work history: top sales man Yellow pages, and ford motor co.

    business exp: roofing co in Ca 5 yrs sold it. 3 different car lots 2 in tulsa 1 in Ca.
    owned
    FireMaster and Fire King Kiln co. sacremento and Atlanta

    owned and published Joplin Magazine/Ozark gate way news paper 3 years went broke.
    reinvented the sand art business to what it is today
    retired in 97.
    got bored: bought some rides and joined the state fair business. retired again in 2006.
    2006 got hit head on by drunk driver followed by 2 heart attacks and stage 4 neck cancer.
    carnival rides and all equip stolen by a crooked sheriff and city of
    crest view florida he is in prison now (sue me jerks, I cant wait) (rough 5 years this all took me back to 0

    started scrapping cars a few years ago partner moved so I moved to smaller stuff, about 2 years ago and lean totaly toward e scrap today.

    personal life:

    always been an adrenln junkie, done most every thing once (some twice to make sure I got them right the first time)
    married 3 times 7yrs,9yrs,and 28 yrs, and lived with 2 others for a time all were 10+s but the all but one eventually had psyc problems, me. but got two great kids.

    view: Atilla the Hun was a lefty and a wimp

    when I was young I chased my dreams, fast cars, and beautiful women today I chase Rainbows and mostly, my tail. cant seem to catch either.

    I have no cause to complain I TRUELY DID IT ALL MY WAY.

    ONE OF THESE DAYS i WILL POST SOME OF MY OLDDUDEISMS if any one wants to hear them.

    example: "who regulates the regulators?"
