    The web master might scrub this but then maybe HE'S interested or even our site host is. I've often wondered what everyone does in the real world (before they come down with terminal old car/truck disease). I bet we can fill out the alphabet from "accountant" to "zoologist". For "V" lets have "Vet" cover both animal doctor and military. I'll make an entry under "C" since in the real world I was a research chemist. I know we have a fireman, law officer, mechanic, doctor, etc., so that's a start. It should be fun and enlightening.

    This is going to be fun!

    I'll cover "T". I'm a trader of natural gas. I buy and sell natural gas for a large Texas intrastate pipeline.

    :DAnd i was a piano player in a central Texas bawdie house until Eye Witness News shut it down in 1971. (Just kidding, I have no musical talent)

    I manage coastal marshes (wildlife biologist).
