Please do not read if you want an entertaining narrative, a suspense or romance novel, a scientific or action thriller.The following is a series of events that took place from 2000 to 2020. Two-thirds of that time I worked for Rikers as a correction officer (CO). In my defense, I must confess that I was too tall, too opinionated, too theatrical, too self-righteous, and I could not keep my mouth shut. If I repeat myself, it is because I think it must be repeated to make a point. Hopefully, documenting the events I experienced will bring me inner peace and maybe give hope to others who find themselves in similar circumstances.This is the story of my recollection of some of the events that happened and often reminisce about. Everything is true. Most of it can be confirmed by newspaper articles, the many docketed federal and state lawsuits, and various other archives. Although I had a hand in trying to lift up a lot of people who were falling prey to the chaos and corruption that ran rampant throughout that whole department, at no time did I ever declare or think for one minute that I was anyone's hero or savior.

A beautiful young Southern Italian female, with hazel eyes and long black sexy hair, was told her entire young life African American men were inferior to white men and had little dingalings (slang for an individual with a small Johnson). Every time Bonnie viewed pictures of black sportsman and black men in general, she was impressed and physically attracted by their physiques and their athleticism. This, she confesses, totally confused her. But lo and behold, Bonnie made sure she respected her family's wishes and ignored all black men whenever in their presence. Surprisingly, deep down inside, Bonnie's internal curiosity overwhelmed her to the point where she would become sexually excited (no matter where she was, even to the point of having vaginal contractions in the presence of others) when seeing black men.

Bonnie finally decided she had had enough about this black stereotyping. She also decided she was going to try some of that black man Johnson and put her curiosity to rest once and for all. Continue reading this true story and find out how Bonnie's first sexual encounter with a tall black man affected her sexually, physically, and emotionally for the rest of her life.

I received my bachelor of science degree in analytical chemistry from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. My first full-time employment after graduation was with Federal Food and Drug Administration. The duties consisted of analyzing food and drugs that was being sold in the United States. It also included in analyzing food products imported from foreign nations for any pest contamination. The food products from large food-producing manufacturers were also analyzed for pest contamination and content. The drugs were analyzed for amount specified on labels. There were numerous FDA laboratory districts established nationwide. The Detroit district employed about forty analytical chemists and about forty to fifty inspectors. Our district director emphasized on us the importance of our work. Two of the important items mentioned to our occasional gathering emphasized the importance of FDA work: One was the advent of sulfa drugs prior to antibiotics that were widely used, and they were highly not soluble. Someone at one of the manufacturing outfits figured out a way of dissolving the sulfa drugs in ethylene glycol (car cooling system liquid-highly poisonous). This elixir was used on a ten-year-old boy, who died due to the poison. The other item he mentioned was an inspector at a tuna-canning manufacturer observed how some decomposed sections of the fish were slowly incorporated into the final canned product. It is a shame that these highly guarded human health districts have been closed. This is why this book came about.
