This is more of a story than a posting. First we need to explain Pete.
Pete is not Asian, he’s full-blooded Italian. People think of the railroads, they tend to think of Asian folks doing all the work. Back in the 80’s I told a lil brother, listen up, dad always wanted his best friend to be happy and he made sure she was, dad is gone, he wouldn’t want her sitting in house staring at walls, he had hard time about mother going out and dancing, she’d loved to dance.
Some years went by an she finally decided to get the hell out of the house and live again. After some dances at different places, she ran into Pete.
She set the terms, I will be marrying no one, dance and company of course, no marriage. Pete was ok with that, he just didn’t understand what he was getting himself into. Pete is like maybe 5’8/5’9 and barrel chested. Was a program on the teevee called Finland Calling, ole Carl would hold dances allover UP here, Pete would drive her to the dances, calls me up, “
that G’damn PETE, suppose to dancing, couldn’t find him anywhere, went outside behind the building, there he was with 5/6 other fellas listening to the G’damn football game, drinking, smoking cigarettes.” When she was done, not just Pete, but all of them was feeling 2 cents waiting on change.
She was spitting fire mad.
Pete started laying railroad ties when he was 14 years old. help put on the table, his dad died in a mining accident. Pete isn’t doing so well these days, still calls her up, checking in on her so that’s good. Pete is a good guy. When you hear her mention Pete, now you know Pete, keep else something in mind.
