Schmiteye is a name I was given when I was in the Navy. Having a name like "Smith" usually means that everyone calls you "Smitty." The name Schmiteye is the best thing I ever got from being in the Navy. Take a look at the disambiguation related to Wolfman Jack. He and I share a page -- Robert Smith.

Background
Frankly I don't remember my first encounter with Wikipedia. I am sure I stumbled across it doing a Google search. Of course I fell in love right away.
My first car
My first car was a '67 Cougar.
Homes
San Francisco Bay Area is home for me. When I was in the Navy I lived in Waikiki and Aiea, Hawaii. I also lived in Idaho Falls, Idaho one cold winter.
US Navy
I was a First Class Machinist Mate (my patch had a propeller) when I was honorably discharged: File:PETTY OFFICER 1ST CLASS.gif
