True Stories

Always stay heads-up, and have a Plan B: leave yourself a way out. A true story.

Obit on how I met my best bud

The crime was committed long ago and the suspects thought they got away with it...But they can't hide forever.

These are memories of my 45 years working in the Electric Power Field. Mostly as an Electric Journeyman Lineman climbing and building power lines across America. Traveling Linemen were called "Tramps". Many of my expressions, terms, tool names and actions are used only in the Lineman Trade. I will try to explain them as I go and try not to interrupt the stories. (Which, by the way, are mostly true) If any are not understandable to you, please Email me with the Link at the bottom. Thanks!

The true story of a young man's frustration at living in a quiet backwater and how he overcome his lot in life. A tribute to a friend.

Into every life a bit of truth may fall. The truths of life fell into mine. This is my homage to the creed called the 'Facts of Life' that Lazlo Zalezac invented for his novel, 'The Millionaire Next Door'. I recommend the story as one of Zalezac's best. BTW, TeNderLoin points out that "The Millionaire Next Door" is posted right here on the Fine Stories website.

Charlie Char Char, the black and white kitty cat, who swishes his tail this way and that, encourages kids to exercise. For preschool age kids. The biggest part of kids books are the illustrations. Since mine won't have them it will be up to the reader to do it with great descriptive drama.
