[AGL] news to wake up to

[Charles Loving]

This movie keeps getting worse everyday. I am not sure what the endind is.
Rome fell due to corruption. The US has too many mouths to feed and there
are fewer and fewer jobs for the hoy paloy. I got my first job as a
freshman in HS at Minute Market in El Paso. A pal and I were walking down
the street and found an office for the comapny and walked in and lied to
get hired. I worked for that comapny until I graduated. Sometimes 40 hours
a week and went from 50 cents an hour to 2 dollars. Great pay in the
fifties. It seems I always had a job of some kind? I was a jack of all
trades. My father said that if you could read the manual you could do the
work. He was almost correct. I was a terrible Mud Engineer in Columbia but
a good smoking paper salesman at Oat Willies.
