If you had a chance to be an electrician, lineman, or other electrical worker at any place and time in history, what would you choose?
I'm quite fascinated by "old" (pre-1970s) Las Vegas, and my current choice - it changes from time to time - is being either an electric-sign technician (probably called "mechanic" in those days) in Vegas in the 1950s-60s, or the house electrician at one of the popular Strip casinos like the Sands,
Desert Inn, Sahara, etc., during that period. I'd love to work on the banks of electromechanical sign flashers which ran the famous casino signs of that era, or maybe help get the showroom ready for a "Rat Pack Summit" performance!
