| Since
a divorce 10 years ago, William Prosolow has worked as
a ranch-hand in Utah and on pig farms in Kentucky, has
rambled from the American northeast to the American southwest,
and most places in between. These aren’t lyrics
to a Woodie Guthrie song, they’re the life of this
week’s vendor of the week.
“It’s not that I take it easy, I just enjoy
my independence,” says Prosolow. In fact, working
as a contractor 10 years ago, William says he was tougher
than most bosses he knows. William has made a conscious
choice about his lifestyle — one he’s glad
to have made.
“Once that travel bug gets into you, there’s
no getting it out,” he says.
In addition to being a prolific traveler, Prosolow happens
to make some pretty good sales at the Ballard post office.
“Real Change keeps my head above water,” says
Prosolow, whose sales are his only source of income. But
Real Change has also made him a pretty popular guy.
“I’ve probably said “Hi” to everybody
in Ballard about 15 times each,” he says with a
laugh.
Prosolow wants to tell his regular customers (as well
as those that just happen to ramble his way) that he “really
[appreciates] the flow.”
