also. In 1995 computers pretty much took over that buisness and I wanted to do something else anyway. My father had died in 1985 and it was hard to keep going without his support. I guess he was the only reason I stayed in that buisness. I went to work for a packaging company in california and got paid for travelling all over the world. I was self employed after 9/11. I really didn't want to travel as much. I was in Mexico City when the towers were hit. I had just left Washington D.C. the day after it happened. It took me 3 days to get out of Mexico all flights were grounded to the States. So I was an independant contractor for 3 years. I went back to work for that company because of the tax structure in California. Those of you who know California tax code will understand. So I'm back to travelling and hope we don't elect kerry so I can feel relatively safe, (relative).
