There you have it. 176 stories written since I lost my Jefferson job to when I started my new job. I have been in two countries -- the United States in 29 states and Canada in British Columbia. My rail mileage was at 1,145,468.0 on June 18, 2009 and on my first day of the new job on October 24, 2011, I was at 1,326,177.1, for a grand total of 179,891.1 while unemployed. I lived through 849 sober days while I went through this whole experience. The stories will now continue with me back at work.
