In the very early 1980's, it was hard to find a job in Salem, Oregon where we lived at the time.  I started a walking billboard service for a few months until something "regular" opened up.  One of the best jobs of my life!

I found myself in the same situation  20 years later in Coos Bay, Oregon.  When all else fails...

Eventually, I landed a regular job at the local newspaper, but I'm keeping my billboard just in case.
