You can learn a lot about life from a tar pit, like don't get too close or you just might fall in and get stuck and never be able to get out! Penelope Dyan was inspired by her visit to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, because the Tar Pits spoke to her about the origins and the disappearance of so many species. Surprised at how many different species were excavated from the pits, she was reminded about the fragility of life and how we all must work together to preserve what we have. Life does not have to end up in the pits. Join Author Penelope Dyan as she tells her very special version of the story of the La Brea Tar Pits. Dyan is a former K-12 teacher and an attorney who has two of her books containing poetry (not unlike the style of this book) placed in the Saison Poetry Library, fifth floor, Royal Exhibit Hall, London, UK, chosen by the arts council for their children's poetry collection. Dyan's book of poetry, "A Book For Girls About Being A Girl" has also been placed third on the Pukeke reading list of best books of poetry for girls ages 5-9 in Australia. Since life is fragile, we must work together to preserve it. If we all walk away like the ground sloth does in this Penelope Dyan written and illustrated story, then there will be no one left to pull us out of the sticky goo. (The La Brea Tar Pits is a registered U.S.. Natural National Landmark.)

Herein you will find many anecdotes and creations from my forty-six years as a sideman in a wide variety of musical styles and venues. Not all of these performances placed me in a "pit," although you will read about times I wish I had been buried in one. I hope you enjoy these glimpses of life back stage--and in that abyss below the stage where small creatures and large insects go to die. Names will be changed to protect the innocent. Or not, we'll have to wait and see... The photographs are in color in this edition.

In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. He was a keen observer of the methodology, incidents, and personalities that made the now-extinct open outcry trading pits such a unique place to do business. Life in the Pits recollects those last, most glorious days when red-faced alphas in colorful jackets performed thousands of transactions per hour, even as computerized trading heralded the floors’ ultimate demise. Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the reader an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. A worthy successor to Liar’s Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer’s often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars’ worth of commodities in the blink of an eye—courtesy of being thrown into the crucible of the trading floors that are no more—and explore the lessons he learned along the way. “Brad’s book about those now bygone days of the trading pits is both hilarious and insightful. Anyone interested in how markets behave, how to trade them, and the broader life lessons such a stressful work environment imparted should add this easily digestible read to their collection of business literature. I spent years on the floor, and this fun and lighthearted reflection on those truly unique business venues brings it all back to life. I highly recommend it.” —J. Robert Collins Jr., CEO of Mercantile Bank International and Former President of the New York Mercantile Exchange

The hilarious #1 New York Times bestseller: Erma Bombeck’s take on marriage and family life is “fun from cover to cover” (Hartford Courant). Ever since she was a child, Er ma Bombeck has been an expert worrier, and married life has only honed that skill. She gets anxious about running out of ball bearings; about snakes sneaking in through the pipes; about making meaningful conversation on New Year’s Eve. Married life, she realizes, is an unpredictable saga even when you know exactly how loud your husband snores every night—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. In this crisp collection of essays, Bombeck shows off the irresistible style that made her one of America’s favorite humorists for more than three decades. When she sharpens her wit, no family member is sacred and no self-help fad is safe. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

"Jeff Hammond has been around racing for a long time-almost as long as me-and he has seen a lot. He's had a lot of success down in the pits where races are won, and he has a lot of stories to tell-some good, some bad-and they are all right here, in this terrific book." -Richard Petty When you stand out there before a race, and you hear the cheering of 150,000 people, and you know that millions of other people are watching on television... well, you just can't imagine the pump. It is just something you can't get enough of. I used to tell people when the day came that I could hear the words, "Gentlemen, start your engines," and not get goose bumps, that was the day I was going to walk away. It hasn't happened yet. I'm broadcasting now, instead of crew chiefing, but I still feel that way. Still get those goose bumps. "Racing is all about chemistry. Hammond and I had it. We were always on the same page. Sometimes I was on the front page though, and he was on the back page!" -Darrell Waltrip
