Pioneering the Oregon Trail Volume VIII:
On the fifth day on our journey from Loganville, GA to Seabeck, WA, we went to the Opry in Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN. We loved the show - the singing, dancing, set changes, the trapeze artist and the juggler-ventriloquist-comedian.

Reducing the Pressure
In 2014, I changed life insurance providers. A requirement for being approved for my new policy was that my blood pressure had to fall within an acceptable range. My blood pressure has always been high.

Several years ago, I was working on my first big commercial plumbing job in a 200,000 square foot testing lab. Part of my task was to 'tape the pipe' anywhere the plastic pipe was touching metal.
