Holy smokes almost $20 an hour around 2000 is a good way to go, thanks for sharing and I really appreciate the story. Never heard the speaker cable thing! When I get together with my community I’ll share it with parents and the thought leaders because it’s hard to take that job forced on you. Ports are everywhere now, which for the elderly must be good.

Fascinating story and I’m sad to think 22 years later it’s probably about the same pay rate. Honorable gig. Nice to hear how it can be a steeping stone for use of talent as well!

Ps - I heard Chuck kind of came up with Fight Club while driving cancer patients and other terminal patients to appointments when not working as a diesel mechanic.
