Want some ideas on getting even with telemarketers? Or
avoiding road rage in supermarket aisles? Humorist Jerry Harju
shares his thoughts on dealing with these and other baffling
complexities of modern-day living in this collection of selected
columns published over the years in The Mining Journal, Upper
Michigan's largest newspaper. He also exposes his checkered past
coping with marriage, buying houses, and living in California, not to
mention other vices including pickup trucks and golf.
Interspersed among these awful truths are many gentle reminiscences of
his 1930's and
'40's boyhood in the U.P.
"You'll be laughing long after you put the book down."
The Green Bay Press Gazette
"Here's what I think... is almost guaranteed to leave
the reader with a smile or a giggle."
The Lansing State Journal
"Fans of Jerry Harju will enjoy reading about life in the
Upper Peninsula without having to wait for his amusing columns in the
Sunday paper. Those of us not living in the U.P. will have a
taste of Yooper life to carry with us."
The Grand Rapids Press
"Jerry Harju is a natural born storyteller. His columns
resonate with the kind of gentle humor and warmth that are increasingly
hard to find in mainstream journalism."
The Daily Mining Gazette, Houghton
