About the Book

This engrossing book is an autobiography of a man living in a time of unprecedented change. Following thousands of years of slow scientific advancement and comparatively minor inventions, we live in a time when change is evident daily.

Born in the Highlands of Haliburton County, Ontario, Canada, in a house on a dirt road, with no electricity or indoor plumbing, Ray Miller takes the reader through the many phases of his life filled with financial, medical, and emotional challenges.

Read how the rapid pace of modern innovation took him from transportation by horse and buggy to supersonic air travel and from word of mouth to cell phones. Follow his experiences; sometimes moving, often humorous, as relationships and hard work take him through his fascinating life.

About the Author

I have reached the top. Life is good.

I have a dog, a truck, a backhoe, a chainsaw, an axe and a round mouth shovel.

My wife buys my beer, cigars and Playboy magazines.

What more can a redneck ask?

Ray YC Miller.
