Sat, 22:09: In Akron they made rubber. All the other major population centers in Northeastern Ohio and Eastern Ohio had major steel operations. I’m just amazed there was a use for all that steel. Steel mills are such dirty places.
Sat, 22:15: To think I really wanted to work for General Motors at one point. Who dreams of working for General Motors? I wanted to be a machinist working for General Motors. Now I don’t want to work with anything having anything to do with cars.
