Forty Years in Waterworld by Peter Romanowsky of Sausalito/Chapter one The Great Escape from land and on land
Chapter Three Forty Years on San Francisco Bay in Waterworld Niche publishing without punctuation per se except for commas and a new age of writing and communicating to voice text and normal speaking and a normal way of communicating with people and in this chapter division is after coming down from the rim of the Grand Canyon of which is one of the most spectacular sites I've ever seen in my life and even the pyramids of Egypt didn't look as large as the Grand Canyon until I tried to climb one of the pyramids and failed and little did I know that to this day it is forbidden to climb the pyramids and but I met a young guy in Arab garb who took me to the guard or the custodian of the Great Pyramid on the back side and they let me slide and little that I know what a privilege it is that not even an Egyptian living today as permission to climb the Great Pyramid and as from the lip and Edge of Eternity at Grand Canyon and thoughts of death and life and suicide and revenge and even murder I roll down off that plateau with my Native American friend who still had a piece of a bullet in his head from a drunken insane man that shot him in the head while he was partying with him and having a paranoid delusion about him trying to make time with his granddaughter and we rolled into El Paso Texas and here are the visions and the memories of the greatest tragedy of my life as we rolled into El Paso in 1984 and found an abandoned parking lot to park or Nomad trailer and car in and nobody bothered us for money and no tickets no vending machines just a virtually empty parking lot near downtown El Paso and we thought oh joy have we scored a place to camp and in the middle of the night a curly headed robust and Beast of a man's head silhouetted in the the window at the feet of my bunk in my Nomad trailer and all of a sudden the window broke and this man is trying to break in and get me even in my bunk and being so possessed and I thought it was bad enough for being driven from my three children my home my family in 72 hours and having suicidal and homicidal and murderous fantasy thoughts of what I would like to do that these sons of bitches so to speak and I had to get away but I had to find peace and here Satan was stalking me all the way to El Paso and I grabbed the knife and I went to the door and I said what do you want and all he did was call my name over and over Pedro, Pedro and Satan Knows My Name and if Satan doesn't know your name then you aren't much of a bother to him and this drunken Spanish Mexican speaking brute of a man and no doubt an illegal alien if I might fantasy so in my awkward dreams of lining the dots together this was a beast of a man and then I found out that a man was murdered at the 7-Eleven just a few blocks from where my camper was and I'm reeling and I'm choking and I'm dying and I'm cold and I'm lonely and I'm in a trailer without heat and I remember virtually staggering through massive safely store in El Paso was hardly anybody there and feeling so lonely and alone except for mine first American friend with a bullet wound in his head and I felt at the bottom of the pit the end of the world death warmed over and I remember the movie was playing of Metropolis at the time a re-release in color and I was saying I would so long to see a movie just something normal for my wife my life was was no longer normal I had fallen a great fall from a great prefaces from the highest of the heights to the lowest of the low and all I had was still Wheels underneath and my wounded friend and I venture to the heart of El Paso from the trailer and figured the worst has got to be over I mean what could be worse and yet to have a mobile home within walking distance of downtown El Paso was quite an experience and there we saw a man and wife dressed in white like profits preaching in the park on Sundays and miraculously a missionary and his young Mexican wife that our church first were the supporters was there in El Paso at the same time and came to visit me and my wounded bullet in the head friend and mourned with me and his young Mexican wife could hardly hug me from the grease for our church and the mother of my children were their main link for finding financial support for the mission God is love in San Juan Del Rio in the state of Durango mexican where are small Band of Brothers and Sisters that form the church were the first to support this mission and the missionary bought 40 hectares of land for an orphanage and a church and a base of operation of which extended eventually to some 13 mission and satellite churches in the state of Durango in homes and wherever they could meet and he had built a church that could hold what seemed to me a couple hundred people in a village next to the San Juan Del Rio for $500 and I spoke and testified in the church and so did my children's mother who wrote the checks that came in for the mission in Mexico and my children's mother was more popular than I was for she wrote the check that came in for the non-profit to be continued

40 years living in Waterworld on San Francisco Bay by Peter Romanowsky
Chapter 2 40 years moving in Waterworld on San Francisco Bay The Dark Night of the Soul after unexpectedly receiving divorce papers from my wife and being given 72 hours to leave my luxury Garden home with redwoods and three children mildly company was a man who still had a fragment of a bullet in his head after being shot by a drunk and insane man thinking that he was molesting his granddaughter and we drove off into the night on Thanksgiving evening and first Thanksgiving that I was planning to have with my side of the family in 16 years and not even having a Christmas with my side of the family for when I was planning it my late mother-in-law called and beg that we would come back and have Christmas with her in her estate in San Anselmo and so we left going back home and not realizing this would be the last Christmas or Thanksgiving ever spent with my side of the family and we drove into the night into the dark and I was having very dark thoughts and I told a lawyer before I left that I felt like buying a gun and of course I was having suicidal thoughts and murder starts at the same time for my in-laws and I knew I had to get out of town and so me and my first American friend who had been shot in the head and was slightly paralyzed in the one arm and my only companion drove off across the desert of California into the Nevada and somewhere along the way on Thanksgiving night in the cold and The Bleak we stopped at a truck stop and had a Thanksgiving meal in a greasy spoon restaurant and so on we drove watching the sunrise and we drove and drove fleeing all the dark thoughts and confusion and hatred and revenge and fleeing Into the Night and and waking up eventually at the foothills of the Grand Canyon and became climbing up to the Grand Canyon which is like at least a mile above sea level and there was snow on the ground and The Nomad trailer I was Towing tended to fishtail on the icy Road and the automatic transmission was starting to go out and slip of climbing up to the lip of the Grand Canyon and finding a park there that was deserted and empty being November and snow on the ground and Below Zero and we parked into this cold and empty National Park parking lot and tried to stay warm without any heat in our nomad and I remember helping a couple in their motorhome like the pilot light on their heater and I remember the park director a very nice woman looking like she feels sorry for me being so alone and in a trailer that an apartment was empty in the beginning of winter and so I went to the edge of the Grand Canyon and dangled my feet over it and thought what an incredibly awesome site and what an incredibly depressing site not to have my wife children and family with me on a vacation and there was a meteor right there a huge meteorite on display that fell from the heavens sometime in the past and I would be amazed if it was still there today meteorites being so valuable and of course contemplating thinking and struggling with Suicidal Thoughts as standing and sitting at the edge of the Grand Canyon and I was odd to see all these strange names for the points of interest on the plexiglass map of the distant scenery for miles and foreign names like from India and not from any first American name that I could recall for points of interest and I gathered myself together and said my heart someday I'll be back here with my family and even though that seems impractical after some 40 years and children growing up and having grandchildren now two of which I have never seen and the son-in-law that I've never met before I was branded a pariah and a religious fanatic who dared teach from the Bible that wives should be a submission to their husbands and things like that and for the least of these things of course I was exiled from my wife's family and my wife threatened to be put under conservation instead of receiving a dowry of a few million and would be disinherited according to my late father-in-law and Marin County supervisor Ernest Nile kitten huffing and from this high point on the edge and the rim of Grand Canyon I called my father who was an expert mechanic and asked him about the slipping clutch on my car and he said take her to a garage and have them adjust the bands on the automatic transmission and lo and behold that solve the problem and we drove on from this Pinnacle and height of sheer depression and beauty and roll down to New Mexico and saw the stars in the sky that are so clear there and so Miles High and we drove and we drove and finally rolled into El Paso Texas and found an empty parking lot to park our Nomad trailer and car in and I found out later why the parking lot was empty for in the night of silhouette appeared at the photo of the window on my bank and a man started calling my name in Spanish Pedro, Pedro and then broke the window at my feet as it was like Satan following me and tormenting me all the way to El Paso and I grabbed the knife and I went to the door and I yelled what do you want and that's when he started calling my name Pedro, Pedro after breaking the window at the feet of my bunk and I thought that was me and how much more horror can a human being experience in such a short period of time of which ended up lasting for eternity and to be continued
