work -- Two degrees from UT@Austin (geological sciences, minors in chemistry, zoology, and spanish). Went the environmental, water, groundwater route (almost went into mining). Was lucky to find a job in Austin for an environmental engineering firm (only about 4 or 5 of them in Austin at the time). I mainly design projects to clean-up contaminated soil and or water at commercial and industrial sites (i.e., dry cleaners, gas stations, refineries, chemical plants, pipelines, etc.) other part of my job is to help clients that are buying/selling there properties/companies ensure they are not buying/selling contaminated property(ies). Also, a lot of permitting work (local, state, and federal).
play -- Don't hunt, fish some (not as much as I'd like) so I tailgate. Been doing it before every UT home football game since 1994. Some parking lot since 1996 (across from Bob Bullock Museum). Started out with 4 couples (season tickets) and grew to on average about 75-100 tailgaters. Sometimes a lot more (tOSU, OSU, UCLA, etc.) and recently sometimes a lot fewer (fairweather fans... for another thread/discussion). But it gives me an excuse to smoke/prepare 100-150 lbs of meat every home game, drinks lots of Coors Light and/or Tito's....
