Run a craft store that offered classes and materials, with discounts for school kids. So they can learn art techniques that are dying away.
In Alaska. Or Montana.

Well that would be great. There is a trend to try and get kids away from the computer... you should look into this

One thing I really miss about the Army is the Craft Shops they maintained at Army installations. I found a few hours occasionally to visit them when I was at Advanced Infantry Training and learned to throw clay. I loved it. It helped alleviate the stresses of rigorous training. In Hawaii, everyone wanted to make a Monkey Pod table (that's a table made from a thick slab cut from a Monkey Pod tree and sanded and sanded and sanded to an ultra smooth surface then covered in a liquid acrylic that hardened like glass. I also made a cradle for my first son in the craft shop. I often thought that a commercial operation like them would be great in the civilian world.

I'm fascinated with speed. I've always liked and I watch all forms of auto racing. When Dale Sr. was alive I wanted to be the gas man on the pit crew. His son is racing and I would like to have the same job on his team. Those would be my dream jobs.

I grew up with dreams of becoming the next A J Foyt. I practiced on dirt roads and honed my skills as a driver. I didn't collect speeding tickets only because the roads were far less crowded in those days and I could run and hide. Then one day in the pits at a small raceway, I found myself shoved to the fore in a fight and almost had my head bashed in by a driver swinging the biggest crescent wrench I ever saw (I never knew before they made them that big). That's when I discovered that there were other opportunities open to me. Still, I wouldn't mind taking one last lap on a clay track in the midst of a cloud of fumes, the roar of engines, and a field of cars sliding through a corner with the precision of ballet dancers.

CPT Jack Durish - Have you ever thought about one of the NASCAR experience days? You get to drive a actual Stock car? Foyt was a damn good driver, and we hear horror stories of racers turned owners and they fail. He wasn't one of them. Andretti was too, but I was born in the tail end of his career. His son Michael was good.

SSG Warren Swan - I appreciate the thought but, sadly, I have a champagne bucket list and a beer barrel budget. No, make that a six pack...
