Riding Shotgun with the Moon: Episodes in an Otherwise Ordinary Life (Riding with Whatever)

By Mr Kort A Ploshay

Riding Shotgun With the Moon' is a memoir of a genuine Baby Boomer's recollection of growing up in Middle America before zip codes; when telephones were most often connected to party lines and consisted of 4 digits, then 5, then on; when letters were the standard form of communication (long-distance calls were costly!) and it would be days or even weeks before the reply - but we were fine with that. We learned the Dewey Decimal System so we could more easily mine the stores of information in the real books in our local libraries.And yet we had wonderful fun in an America that was hard to imagine now. No electronic games, so we played with other kids. Neighborhood baseball teams changed players daily and we survived without insurance, membership fees or lawsuits. We didn't hear about everything bad anywhere in the world as soon as it happened.The book is really about the author and the world as he experienced it. The writing is friendly and unpretentious, a bit like stories told around a campfire. More than one reader has remarked that their experience while reading this book was much like having a dream including their own experiences as memories were triggered by the author's shared recollections.
