    Well, I would guess that it isn't Pheonix, AZ. Is it Cleveland having a cavalier attitude about it?

    It's a parking garage... In the early-'90s I lived in a 9th floor apartment almost right across the street. The "fluted wall" is there to vent auto exhaust gasses. They've squeezed through the vents and are straddling the gap between them to get a better view of the parade.

    Anybody who has read the book should also see the site. I just love it. The more you read, the more baffled you become. It's layered puzzles like an onion. Just consider who, what, especially when, how, and pretty soon you'll get to the big one: W. T. and most definitely ?

    Not to change the subject...

    I am back home now. This last Friday after lunch my vision went white.
    Couldn't see much of anything. I also couldn't catch my breath sitting still.

    I was driven fifty miles into Portland where the VA determined I was severely dehydrated due to stupidly high glucose levels.

    They pumped me full of fluids and brought my glucose levels back down to normal with an insulin drip.
    I am back at home/work now. Scary stuff.

    Your vision went white? What's that like? Could you see light, just without being able to differentiate it, or was it kind of a bright blindness? Scary stuff, from the sound of it. So, are you ok now?

    Re: Post Race!

    Hard to say. I guess light blindness. It was worse when the ambient light was bright.
    I could dimly make out some things when it was darker.

    The young man they found to drive me to the hospital was all fired up to get me there quickly.
    (I think he was worried I would croak on him. )
    As bad as my vision was I could tell he was speeding and right the bumper of those in front of us.

    I had to calmly tell him it would do no good if we both ended up mangled on the road.

    Trying to check my blood sugar hourly now and take insulin if needed.
    (God I hate poking my fingers. Stings like an SOB.) Injecting insulin on the other hand doesn't hurt at all.

    Do you have a good endocrinologist? I got one about a year ago when my boys pediatrician asked me if I'd had my thyroid checked lately! She is a master doctor - nearly saved my life.

    Now I get two vials of blood drawn every month - I've got an eye specialist and just added a skin specialist - and I've got one of the worst obamacare plan for all this constant claim use.

    If you don't mind me asking, what does your skin do and does your insurance cover it?

    My immune system hates my melanin - I'm getting whiter as I go

    I didn't realize it also hated my thyroid until that doc pointed it out!

    Well care visits and RX costs are nicely covered. Sick visits not so much. Monthly lab costs - all not covered (go to deductible).

    I had heard that as long as you never found out you were sick ACA was great - now I know the details personally.

    Maybe he figured that high blood pressure and adrenaline would fix you right up.

    Sometimes, people trying to help out are more of a threat due to a touch of panic.

    There's some confusing stuff in there. Some of the text at the top of the page is actually a menu. One of the menu items takes you to some other forum that has Old attached to the name. That one is loaded with programming tips for various things, generally short. There's also a thread on how to make pickles, how to unclog a drain, how to start growing sprouts, and other such stuff. I believe it's under the Castle menu.
