The driving force of this book was that I observed the humor in everyday life which perked up an average day. Sharing these experiences prompted the words, “You should write a book”. Re-reading refreshes. My times with old cars influenced me toward mechanical engineering.

My earliest years were in the country, followed by first grade through high school in Bowie, Texas. I was exposed to opportunities and observed the humor along the way. Capturing the opportunities as a child and teenager proved beneficial as an adult. As an adult I worked as engineer in various parts of the petroleum industry in several states. I graduated from Texas Tech.
