Having traveled halfway around the world while in the Navy and traveling and working in all but four of the fifty states has given Michael Riggan the opportunity to observe the wonderful diversity of the people of our planet; he has crossed paths with many interesting characters who have left their footprints on his heart and mind. Many of these were just everyday folks who view life in a different light and perhaps dance to a different beat. Those he has written about here demonstrate that variety is important to maintaining sanity and gives us an appreciation of the wonders of life. You will be amused and likely feel you have known them as you read this book.
