While Working at the Quito Road Radio Shack in Saratoga, CA I sold 65 Packages of Hearing Aid Batteries Every Three Months to a Man Exporting Them to Poland.

Hundreds of People Could Hear... Impossible to Buy There... Maybe it was Czechoslovakia... Whatever... This is MY RIGHT LIVELIHOOD... 

I also Sold an Entire Recording Studio (microphones, tape recorder, mixing board) to a Lady doing an Interview Radio Show on Alternative Medicine for KARA in Santa Clara. She felt the people would be more relaxed and talkative is the interviews were held in her home... 

We failed to sell a Stopwatch to the Head Coach of the 49ers Football Team. The one we had in stock was the Complex, Muti -Function Watch and he wanted the Simple One... We found what he wanted at the Next store down the road... and He bought it there... 

I was also involved in PREDICTING THE FUTURE. The Question was "What will people want to buy Six Months from now?" My Opinions were passed on to Corporate Headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas by my Boss, Carol. She was often asked her opinion because she could tell them "What Women Want." - Since 40% of the money at "The Shack" was spent by women... Knowing what Women Want is Important. She asked for Multi-Color Telephones... Before, all phones were Black... but with the Invention of "The Princess Phone" we switched to a Rainbow of Pastels... 

A Benefit of working at Radio Shack was the EDUCATION required by Corporate to keep your job as a salesman. We studied 14 different subjects and had to pass a test. "How a VCR Works", "Antenna Design", "Computer Science" and "Marketing FUN-da-mentals."  No Matter What, I still remember How a Radio Works and How a TV Works etc etc etc...

I was driving down Union Ave from the Unemployment office after a frustrating day looking for a Job and I Saw The Radio Shack and said to myself -"Hell, I Can Do THAT!" - and I was Hired. I found out later that they hire almost everyone and fire those that fail quickly. I did not fail and Rode That Horse for SIX Years... Eventually getting fired for drinking on the job BUT, I did buy $6,000 worth of Stock which paid for a Four Month Vacation in Chico, CA where I attended Three AA Meetings a Day, Played my Guitar on the Street for Tips, Met my Wife and Got a Job at WREX Plastics making Wheelchair Wheels, Vending Machine Parts and Swim Fins. What a Blessing Getting fired was... Remember: It's All Just Grist For The Mill. (A Book by Ram Dass) https://www.amazon.com/Grist-Mill-Awakening-Ram-Dass/dp/0062235915

Football Players and Soldiers get Concussions causing Permanent Brain Damage. Do Not Do Either Career... Think for Yourself and Question Authority.

While there is social pressure to conform, actually playing football can damage your body and mind for your entire life. Among my friends there is a tendency to have spinal pain about the age of 50... Long after the cheering of the crowds has become silent, men experience horrible pain all day long... to their regret. And brain damage isn't any fun either...

Since the US Military has not actually defended the Country since 1945, there is no real NEED for people to become soldiers... It's an all Volunteer Army now and it's easy to let some OTHER brainwashed fool go fight for corporate profit...

The Military/Industrial Complex needs Forever-wars in order to increase sales... Can anyone explain why we are fighting in Afghanistan? The "Bad Guys" (Taliban) are located in Pakistan... a different country... 9/11 was done by people from Saudi Arabia... also a different country... and Osama Bin Laden is Dead... President Obama killed him in Pakistan.

Remember History? We have fought many wars since WW2 and none have been about defending the USA. The Mission was always Corporate Profit... using some lame excuse... Fighting Communism... Fighting Terrorism... Fighting the Monsters that Live under Your Bed...

The USA was attacked on 9/11/2001 and the US Military Failed Completely to Defend the Country. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania...

Combat veterans coming home with CTE. A brain disease best known for impacting football players who suffered concussions is now being found in soldiers due to explosions.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
