By the way, my favorite and least favorite memoRies:
Learning to drive a stick shift with Betty Ramey's car. Hadn't done it before but she needed a ride to Newark airport and I was the station lackey... She drove to the airport and became a bit concerned when she noticed me staring at her feet the whole way. She got out at the airport and I drove the Volkwagon back to the "R". It's amazing I got back alive. It's amazing her car still ran after that... That's what she deserved after I was asked to:
CLEAN the septic tank- from the inside! The bastards had me climb down into the station septic tank to figure out why the damn toilets were clogging... I recall Mort looking down into the hole at me and asking me what I thought was wrong. Would have been the perfect set up line to tell him "he was full of ****" but I was young and serious at the time and I passed on the opportunity.
All in all it was a great experience, working and learning at The R...
