"Day in the Work Life": Milkman
On this week's "A Day In the Work Life" -- our regular look at how folks trade time for money -- we deliver you a milkman.
Milk deliveries used to be by horse and buggy. Now they're done by truck. Which is a good thing -- David's route can involve 60 to 80 stops per day, sometimes covering three towns. (Photo: Judith Ritter)
