Let's see, I forgot - didn't you want to know about what I liked to do in my spare time? 1) Go to those manufacturing plants you were talking about, and spray aerosol solvent into the HVAC intakes on the factory roofs. I try to look for products that will have an especially good reaction with the solvents already being used. 2) Drive my Ferrari through big rain puddles and try to spray innocent pedestrians with water. It's the most fun when I do it in the morning near schools, so the kids have to be in their wet clothes all day. We've had a lot of rain out here lately (el nino), so I would have guessed that this would start to get boring, but actually, the thrill is still there. 3) Call the IRS hotline and anonymously turn in the CEO's of my competition. This gets 'em nice and distracted. I was thinking of doing this to directors of non-profit organizations, too. 4) Order really big meals in small, family owned restaurants, then leave before it's served, without paying. When I'm hungry, what I do is to eat half, and then loudly complain that the food is no good, and refuse to pay. So as to get a full meal, I do it again, in a restaurant down the street. 5) I make some extra money on the side with a deal I have with a nearby tire repair place. What I do is go into some parking lots, and let the air out of the tires of a few cars. Then, when people come out, and see their flat tires, I conveniently give them a business card for the tire place. The tire store gives me $5 for each "referral." 6) Another way I get free food in my spare time is to go to the deli counter in a supermarket, and get a 1/4 pound of roast beef, turkey, whatever, plus some cheese. Then I go to the bakery counter, and get a roll. A quick stop at the produce section, and I can make a damn good sandwich. Oops - almost forget. open a jar of mayo, and spread some on. Then, I eat the whole thing while walking up and down. I try to do this in the smaller, regional stores that are often still family owned. I've noticed that it doesn't really affect the big, national chains. Hope this helps, Chuck.
