He's the owner of Bremerton Office Machine Company, the last company in the Puget Sound-area which is in the business of repairing typewriters full time.

Paul writes regular blog updates at their website: https://typespec.com

Since there are about 5,000 podcasts about poker, Eric sat down with his friend Dave to talk about the subject more generally with regards to history of the game, types of poker, and tournament play...with a few minutes talking about Las Vegas and New Orleans.

Hi, this is Eric: I was soooooo sick of the sound of the Fourth of July after hour number six last night, I decided to put on headphones and see if, in one hour, I could produce a podcast with my (unscripted) narration, two or more other sound tracks, and some audio I got off the internet. Even though the message is really important, this was just as much learning how to use the equipment. I chose Ike's January 17, 1961 (you can tell I'm winging it because I got the year wrong in the audio) farewell address to the nation as POTUS. If you want more info, just search for "Eisenhower's Farewell Address." But every American should be familiar with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenhower%27s_farewell_address

Hi, this is Eric...

This one was special for me for a few reasons. LeMay Inc. (which included Pierce County Refuse) was a family-run business most of Ric Thompson's 41 years there. And then it was sold to Waste Connections, a much huger garbage company from Wall Street.

For more than four decades, Ric went through all of the changes in the politics, equipment, recycling demands, etc. He is of a generation that kind of has seen it all in how your waste gets engineered. He was a pioneer.
