Maybe he goes to town and his rickety old truck breaks down. A woman who had pretty much the same principles as him stops and gives the old coot a run for his money.

You always have good ideas, and you always know what to do with them.  Not so me.  I'm always scrambling for something to share and mostly failing these days.  But I'm not jealous...no not me.  I just keep trying to think.

A terrific character for any of your wonderful plots.  Can't wait to read it.

I am thinking he harks back to the hillbilly days so he needs to be in some real backwoods county where no body cared if a kid went to school or not.i didn't grow up in the USA so I probably can't help much, only what TV shows and movies like to portray for the viewers. I think he acts toucher than he really is so perhaps he saves an animal ...perhaps a Bison calf...something different to the Wolf they like to put into these stories. It could bring out a softening in the dogs as well as his better side.

Good Afternoon

Pat, I think this character would be a hoot wherever you choose to put him.

Well of course he should meet the modern Pansy Potter. I should not think you had the comic. She was a real tough gal, could catch snakes and eat them alive.

Good morning

You have one of the most creative minds that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. With your skill, the idiot could go just about any direction that you imagine him in. Have a great day.
