When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I remember growing up wanting to be a trash truck person. The trash truck was always fascinating to me. The men who rode on the back of the truck would jump off at each house and empty the all-metal cans into the back of their truck. When the trash got filled in the receiving area, they would press a button and it would compact the trash. When trash day came, I would follow them around the block to watch the process over and over. Today’s trash trucks are not very similar to those of days gone by. The driver is usually the only one on the truck…no longer a need for two guys to empty the cans, as that is all mechanized now. But yes, that’s what I wanted to be.
