Pete is a clown.....but NOT a crackpot. A Hillbilly.....but not a Redneck.
However, at age eight-four (84) and counting, he is on that downhill slide that we all have to take at some point.
Throughout his life, boredom has been a very rare thing. Accordingly, most non-narcissistic people don't put up websites to let folks know about their experiences and thoughts, but because even family members are unaware of his varied and chaotic lifetime of experiences, or his need to fix whatever he thinks is broken, he has chosen this venue to pass along some of his more interesting experiences.
He has a well-known reputation for being deadly serious when his responsibilities require him to be so, BUT he also believes that many man-made laws, rules, and regulations are merely suggestions, and are neither binding nor enforceable.
Don't ask for his opinion or advice if you are "thin-skinned", or expecting that he will agree with you.....he might not see things the way you do.
He rarely talked about his experiences. He passed along bits to a few people, mostly family, but rarely detailed any of it.
Remember.....this stuff is pre-mortem, it is difficult to pass it along to folks post-mortem! Don't be judgemental.
