Subject:When a 20-yr old can't afford a hippy bus

Back when I was 20, I worked to barely own my 57 split window 36hp house
on wheels.  Fried burgers in Seal Beach, Ca. and washed dishes in Aspen, Co.
in winter..Lived in the bus, because rent was too steep.  Pretty cold in
Aspen..

  Ah, but now, I can still just barely afford my 84 hippy bus.(smiley face)
Still live in it for months at a time.  Make about the same spendable income
these days being a master carpenter and cabinet maker as I did flipping
burgers or washing dishes.

  But, would I trade it all for a "real job"?  Stockbroker, Oil man,
politician?  No..I guess not..in fact..
He** No!...  No Way!
