Were all strange in our own way. Im no exception. I have a healthy respect for feet, gag at the sight of a dog having its toenails cut, prefer not to eat bananas that have been cut vertically, and would rather have a knife at a gun fight than a fish on my line. Fish are my phobia. Yet
Ive swam with them under the influence in the Pacific Ocean; on a dare in the Atlantic Ocean; naked in the Arctic Ocean; and with a pod of Dolphins in the Indian Ocean
in the Amazon with Piranha; in both Mississippi Rivers; in the Anaconda River in South America though I wouldnt have, had I been told the name beforehand
swamps in Lanark County
places people without a fish phobia would think twice before diving in.
Ive been fortunate enough to stay out of jail. However, I have survived vehicle rollovers, been chased off of the most secretive military base in the world, Area 51; been greeted by AK-47s at a military checkpoint in Kashmir; escaped a near carjacking in Puerto Rico; and survived a gastrointestinal infection in Columbia.
Ive made great friends living with Gwitchn Indians and Inuvialuit Eskimos; learned Spanish from a young girl in a Peruvian market; dog sledded in Tuktoyaktuk; ridden across Canada and the US by motorcycle; taken bush planes across the Mackenzie River; circumnavigated Australia in an old hatchback without air conditioning or radio; even had an old van start on fire as I pulled off a long stretch of ice-road in the Beaufort Sea.
Anything Ive been able to stop moving long enough to bite, Ive eaten: Crocodile, Musk Ox, Caribou, Piranha, Musk Rat, and Muktuk, even Chicken Foot Soup and Guinea Pig
those are just the bits I know about
and only those Ive managed to keep down.
In the moments between moments, Ive managed to trick professors and professionals alike. Ive been flown by helicopter to motorcycle accidents as a Flight Paramedic, reduced dislocations and delivered babies in a small Outpost Clinic as an RN; even traveled to Pakistan with a Disaster Team in the wake of an Earthquake..
