STREET TALK: If you weren’t doing what you're doing, what would you be doing?

Asked at Surf City Coffee in Moss Landing.

Follow-up: If you could fill a pool with anything besides water, what would it be?

KEN MACKIE | Attorney | Merced

A: Creating a nationwide chain of voucher or tuition-free schools to replicate the success I had as a school teacher. The only reason I’m not doing it is lack of resources.

Makes Cents: I would say gold coins so that I might have the resources.

VICTORIA TERAJI | Hartnell Student | Prunedale

A: Sleeping? I’m not sure. I don’t know what I’m doing now. Just hanging out.

Milky Way: I would fill it with chocolate milk. It’s the best. If I’m chilling and I get thirsty then I have chocolate milk right there.

BRYAN STAMOS | Sales Associate at Hollister | Lodi

A: I’d probably be at home eating food.

Ice, Ice Baby: I like iced tea. It’s refreshing and cool, not too bad for you, it’s not just water and the consistency is nice too, because it’s not super thick and sludgy.
