Body:	<i>After high school, my first real job, where I got a paycheck and paid taxes was working at a gas station at 40th street and East Washington in Phoenix. Nothing too memorable about it. I do remember gas as cheap as 19.9 a gallon during a price war. And we gave out nice glass tumbler drinking glasses with a 10 gallon fill up,. Later on I got a job at the dog race track. I started out as a “runner”, making change for the sellers and cashiers. From there I moved up to the Money Room where we counted all the cash for every race. That was kinda cool, being around and handling around 250,000 dollars in cold cash every night. A couple of times we came up short several thousand bucks. We all had to take a lie detector test. Both times they did catch someone stealing. I also worked the Horse track at Turf Paradise too. Met quite a few shady type characters at all the dog and horse tracks in and around the Valley. It was probably the most enjoyable job as far as being fun that I ever had. They even gave us free beer after work every night in the employees lounge. I ended up getting fired because I refused to get my hair cut. Oh well, their loss. </i> *
