These all add up to make this sequel a light and easy read with a goodly sum of chuckles along the...

A good portion of these jokes and observations have been drawn from my own original experiences. Others have been gathered over many years and from many sources with their origins being lost in the mist of time. I have cataloged around three hundred thought provoking entries some of which are thinly veiled with double entendres and are not always as they first appear to be.

I realize that humor is a subjective language medium and so I hope that each reader...

This collage of stories, views and opinions is typical of the straight from the shoulder, no nonsense, type of writing that we have come to expect from the author. In some chapters his empathy for personal friends and local traditions is clear and sincere. This is cleverly balanced by his frustration, concerning certain current events and the political dilemma that these have caused. Some of these issues have been touched on in his previous books but here, in length, he delves into them with more detail. Where his angst bubbles up, from time to time, he is still informed enough to clearly...
