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."
