Cal, no offense was taken and I did not sense any intent to disparage in your posts. All is good.

I imagine that you could tell some great tales of encounters during your field work. Any of your clients ever discourage your visit with shotguns and the like?

No I can't say that ever happened at work, but I have been in a couple of situations outside of work where gun play was threatened. Sort of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I still have all my fingers and toes so luck was with me. My brother told me once that he had a job as a census taker and he was threatened with violence while trying to do the census up in the hills of northern Arkansas. Most of the people I dealt with were nice and realized I was just trying to help them, but occasionally I would encounter someone that was just mad at the world so I did have to weather a little verbal abuse here and there. All in all, I was pretty lucky. My job wasn't exactly 9 to 5 which was good. I doubt I would have made nearly 40 years, if I had been in a conventional situation with a supervisor on site and watching my every move.

I really find the last 4 or 5 posts very telling, not sure how but . . .???

We're all friends here of different sorts,
Tied together with a love of
One of the greatest sports.

Ruffian, as a poet herself, will like that.

IVE ALWAYS LOVED A MAN WITH LONG HAIR AND BEARD!

Never Was Attracted To What I call THE “ F B I Look”

Short hair, No Beard, Business Suit + Tie = YUCK
Long hair and beards are ok such as Steve Asmussen, Dave Grohl, or Jason Momoa. But please no man buns. That's really YUCK.
