Talk about a wild ride! This fun, highly entertaining read takes you on an exotic, hilarious, bawdy, and sometimes dangerous journey by an innocent country boy from a small Jeffersonian-like community in rural Virginia through the bowels of Central and South America, Africa and Asia where he runs into one hair raising adventure after another. His journey is tightly condensed into nine stories, nine tales, that introduce the reader to the typical tropical tramp and how and why he acquired that lofty status. Not your conventional personal memoir, it does get into the author's younger years and times when even then he lived on the edge preparing for the quixotic journey in his future. Of interest to many readers is how he manages a successful professional career along his windy path.The book concludes with the Tom Wolfe challenge of coming home, back where the author has started and with the puzzling issues he now faces in the autumn of his years.
