Welcome from California! Hope all goes well with your eyes. My mom had more than a dozen surgeries for torn and detached retinas in the 1990s - I know the recovery is long and hard.

[Midwest Economist]

Thanks! Wow, over a dozen? I can’t even imagine what she had to endure. For me, it’s inconvenient, but I’ve been incredibly blessed that I’m pain free. The hardest part for me is being on restriction, especially going from outdoor cooking 4-6 days a week to ZERO.

Welcome to the pit from Southern Illinois, I also pray for your complete recovery.

[Midwest Economist]

Thank you, neighbor! I say that because I’m a few miles down the street from the world’s largest catsup bottle!

[Oakgrovebacon]

I have driven by that several times. I am about 60 miles east of there.

Welcome to the PIT!
Cheers from Norway

[Midwest Economist]

Thanks! Norway! We did a trip to Bardufoss back in November 1992; the first time I ever rented a car with tire chains installed on it. :-) They put us up at a place I would describe as a ski lodge; we stayed in individual cabins: good times!
