I have a classmate who worked for CALTRANS for 40 years. Has a nice pension with full medical (came in handy when his fat ass had the heart attack). He is a big 2nd Amendment nut and a Trumpie. Rails against Unions (though he was in one). He is impossible to talk to.

Congrats to you on their coming move... hlthe2b Nov 2021 #1
