Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico.
Director General for a small group of automobile dealerships in a hole in the wall town in Mexico (Volkswageen -- Uruapan, Mich., Mexico).

Pipe smoker (tobacco) for 40 years -since college. 3 weeks vaping and still trying to find a "Balkan" pipe tobacco flavored liquid. Juust ordered "London" from a vendor in the UK. They swear it tastes like the real thing. As a pipe smoker I haven't inhaled smoke in four decades so I'm vaping a 18mg liquid named "Organic Best Damn Tobacco" by Virgin Vapor and it gives a decent pipe smoke sensation. I've also tried something called "Cigar" that the vendor who sold me my first starter kit (eGo MT-3) threw in the deal. Tastes a bit like Black Cavendish; not bad at all buut I prefer English style blends.

Retired after 36 years as a Tech Rep with a ... wait for it ... multinational reprographics company that once monopolized the copier/laser printer/high volume printing industry (until Japan entered the market).

Couldn't resist making it sound high and mighty. I actually drove around in a company minivan, carried a briefcase tool bag, and repaired high volume computer room color and B/W laser printers and the same in large print shops all day. I loved the job because it paid well and I was in a different place every few hours. If I was caught up I could stop and shop or grab a cup until the Blackberry squawked.

After retirement I entered a Cisco Networking program at the local technical college and completed the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) program as insurance against becoming obsolete. I haven't had to go back to work, though. Retirement is kind of fun ...
