I will let you guess as to my chosen vocation. No, owning a fine timepiece to me has nothing to do with my job, what I earn or more accurately what I choose to invest in.

I'm voluntarily unemployed. And I worked hard for a long time to be in this position. Commercial lending was my game.

Funny thing about lines from country to country

1 way Direction of traffic or 2, single line vs double, solid vs broken and Colors mean something some places and not so much in other places.
Mexico had me guessing all through the country

But these lines are universally linked to alcohol

That's temporary roadway line tape, ain't it Gus?

I see a bit of THAT around Pixburgh, too, and ALL my PennDOT guys can't be drinkin' at the same time.
