12. My first job was as a Houston Post solicitor, door to door selling Post subscriptions.

Back in the mid 70's. We got 7 bucks and change for a daily sub, and a little over 3 dollars for a wkend sub.
Our crew used to go up to Austin for the start of the school year and sell the hell out of the Post to the college students around the university. They would always be inviting the "paperboy" in for a cool beer and a puff or two.
We would go on the weekends and stay overnight at Hippy Hollow and finish Sunday evenings and ride home to Pasadena.
