French Fries In The American Southwest (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As if growing up in the American Southwest in the 1970s wasn't difficult enough (what with the Freeway Killer, Son of Sam, and other serial murderers out trolling California highways looking for kids to kill and dumping their bodies out in the desert) two brothers decide to float around the Mojave attempting to see just how much trouble they can get in to after loading up on french fries and extra salt.

This is a true story about how Tecopa Springs used to be, about how Baker, California used to be back when there were much fewer people living in Southern California. It's the story of how two High School-aged students hiked from muddy seep to muddy seep, starting fights in haunted fast food dives, and avoided getting their faces kicked in by irate fathers, crazed bikers, drugged-out hippies, and the rest of the non-mainstream men and women that climbed out of the daze of the 1960s and hit the road.

Autorenporträt

Aging hippie, avid backpacker, hiker, bicycle rider, surfer, I have lived on and off the fringes of society for decades, at times dropping out of civilized society for years at a time. Now that I'm older with responsibilities I no longer live among the displaced, the homeless, and among those hiding from others however in my writings I hope to describe something of what life has been like for me up until now.

Currently I am a software engineer getting paid very good wages working on maintaining and repairing transportation infrastructure within the United States, putting my self-taught skills to work doing something positive for society in an effort to give back something of what I took when I was living on the streets, stealing food, being a public hazard. In this respects I am highly respected and well thought of among the nation's elite software engineering professionals, and have the approval and admiration of the outdoors community where I also volunteer my time and effort for the benefit of future generations -- assuming there are any.
