Hey! I know how that works. I was once one of those (unemployed and sometimes employed radio DJ) Went into advertising sales--hated it for many, many years. Now I work in the insurance and financial services industry specializing in low risk wealth accumulation and wealth transfer strategies. Sounds dull as a dead dog, but I actually enjoy it. Somes days/weeks you work all the time, others you run trains. Plus going to appointments I get in a lot of railfanning!

Sorry, when I used to play with slot cars, I put a pin on both ends, that way I could run backwards. Never been to Atlanta, though was offered a job at a large hosting company once.

You mean there is a professional slot car racer named David Thurman? Wow! Wait until I tell my daughter, she already thinks I am a nerd...[8D]

[Rotorranch]

[:D] He,he...Oh well, thought it might'v been a case of "Small World Syndrome". David the slot racer was a pretty good friend/ customer/ nice guy who just kinda vanished from these parts, and I thought it mighta been you, since many of us have "cross hobby" related interests.

...off price for clothing and apparel. Its pretty good for city building prototypes. I work in the garment district of manhattan, so i can see the details and little unnoticed details in a city line. I do not have a layout set up anymore, but i do build dioramas from time to time. When you can't operate, detail for a still scene is a must!
