Tagged!

The rules are:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

What was I doing 10 years ago:
Going to college at Austin Community College for a semester and working! Kind of a boring era.

Five things on my To Do List today:
1. Finish making rows in garden.
2. Plant the various plants I have ready to plant.
3. Finish my paper about the early Mormon expedition to Texas in the 1840s.
4. MAYBE do some dishes.
5. Feed the cats and dogs!

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
* Donate to various Catholic charities. (I like Mr. Snyder’s answer, plus, it makes you more able to claim ludicrous things in the next four answer.)
* Buy several acres in a semi-rural area, build my dream earthen construction house.
* Buy 2 or 20 machine guns. (Maybe this is a possible bad habit.)
* Travel is still technically feasible!
* Help contribute to building an actual community, local shops and businesses, subsidiarity, etc.
* Man, this list could go on for a while…

Three of my bad habits:
1. Wasting time surfing the net.
2. Eating junk food.
3. Not cleaning up around my desk (leaving drink cups, soda cans, etc.)

Five places I’ve lived:
1. Borger, Texas
2. Tatum, New Mexico
3. Eagle Nest, New Mexico
4. Lubbock, Texas
5. Kyle, Texas

Five jobs I’ve had:
1. Movie store clerk
2. Nightclub kitchen manager
3. IRS mail clerk
4. Pizza-Hut cook and delivery driver
5. Cable company tech support

Five books I’ve recently read:
1. Dollfuss: An Austrian Patriot by Johannes Messner
2. Polygamy on the Pedernales: Lyman Wight’s Mormon Villages in Antebellum Texas by Melvin C. Johnson
3. The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman
4. Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest by Matthew Restall
5. The White Scourge: Mexicans, Blacks, and Poor Whites in Texas Cotton Culture by Neil Foley

The five I tagged:
Tag yourself! By the time it gets to me, my limited blogging of late inspires little taggation!
