Smithville  Texas has a recycle center that not too many people are aware of.   When I went to drop off my recycle items I thought I would take a few pictures to share with you via video media.  I presort my recycle materials - Plastics 1 & 2, paper, cans so when I drive in I can just efficiently drop them off.  Takes me a couple of minutes and I feel good about keeping the items out of our local landfills.  Video scenes Smithville Recycle Center, Smithville Texas 02/13/2009

In preparing and presenting the rental agreement for 502 Olive I had the opportunity to work with the Locations Manager directly,  and in conversation he mentioned needing some one to clean the "day houses" ( normally Stars have their own trailers!)  and support houses ( Ad, Wardrobe, School, etc., )  on a n... 07/01/2008
