Have you done anything that would surprise us? Body piercings? Tatoos? Unusual trips, jobs, etc.
Probably! odd Job of collecting Creatures,such as frogs, snakes,etc. and sold them to universities for biology study. The pay was good for a guy just getting out of High School. Sold everything I could catch and keep alive. I made over $250. in one night selling Bullfrogs, I was paid by the lb. for live frogs, not bad in 1970. No body alterations except minus a few surgically removed internal parts, and the addition of wrinkles, grey hair, and a few pounds.
Saving Private Ryan, Longest Day, Thin Red Line. Old Westerns,and War Movies. Lonesome Dove is one of my favorites, I watch it over and over, drives my wife crazy. Band of Brothers.
