I worked as a groom about 20 years ago right out of high school, it was my first true full time job.

Loved lots about it, but the really early mornings mixed with the repetitive days (with few off) drove me to think maybe I should aim a little higher with my career ambitions.

A few years after I moved on, the HBPA started bringing Mexicans in to work the backstretch. Trainers couldn't find enough Canadians to fill the jobs.

Always nice to know I'll never be out of a job as long as I can walk and turn left.
