It is quite interesting how some people just know about steemit.com, and then how other people just stumble upon it. I think Jerry Banfield might have been my initial link to Steemit.com too. I don't even remember why or how I ran into his videos in the first place..... lol. Well regardless of that...... welcome, and congratulations on finding the place. It appears that you have had a pretty varied life. I would imagine you must have quite a bit of stories you can tell!
