I'm a people watcher, the day before we came home, we went into Gatlinburg to shop for the grandkids. I usually sat on a bench while my wife shopped and can say we are becoming an obese society.

I am way past hikng in the mountains. I need that 20 years for $2000 - heck I would easily go $20,000. 20 years would get me back before I even knew my back was trashed.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
