| Introduction | I've been a farm boy, a bus boy, a millhand, a Marine, a low criminal, a high crazy, a computer technician, a mechanic, a long-haul trucker, a student, a journalist, a technical writer, a teacher. I earned bachelor's degrees in history and English and a master's in magazine journalism before discovering I was better off as an autodidact. At various times I've lived in Iowa, Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Missouri. Today I live in Iowa, with my books, my computer, my tools, my motorcycle, my fishing tackle and my muse, Clio the Wonder Cat. I walk through the greenbelt along the Wapsipinicon River and write what I please when the spirit moves me. Most of what you'll find here are personal essays, fiction, and a blue-collar slant on the news and on journalism. Read all you can stand. Write back if it pleases you, or if it doesn't. |

If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?
Because concrete aircraft are not fuel efficient.
