    "I had a perfect time, gee wiz"-Keith. You really made his day! I'm sure it meant so much to Keith that you took the time to listen to his stories and let him show you around. You're a doll.

      @@pudznerath6532 Mr. Carter is 99. 10 years younger - 89. You might think that she is 90. Your perception If you get angry a lot, worry, and are often stressed, then this has a bad effect on your health. This is how strokes and heart attacks occur at 50-60 years of age. And in order to avoid stress, you need to behave correctly in terms of behavior. And you need to perceive your surroundings correctly, so as not to be nervous that everything is going wrong.

    PROTIP: If the place you are visiting has a YMCA/YWCA most will allow you to use their shower to clean yourself. Just explain your situation to the desk staff/managers and leave your ID/plate info at the recpetion desk. I have done this a number of times in fifferent locations and %90 of the time it works.

    Keith was such a nice guy. You can find a lot of people like him with similar stories and historic events in the Black Hills of South Dakota. You should take a trip there to explore the beautiful scenery, and see the old towns and meet some good people! Might want to wait for spring though, it's too cold now. And don't go around the end of July or beginning of August. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally takes place in that area, and the state is overwhelmed with tourists, bikers, and campers. It would be hard to find peace.

    Seeing the old medicine bottles (@11:00) reminded me of my grandfather’s pharmacy at his home, in the Philippines. He worked as a pharmacist assistant and he actually became good at the job, he began concocting medicine for the neighbors and opened up his own drugstore. War broke out (1941) and neighbors went to my grandfather asking for medications - which he wrote on an IOU and stuck them in a drawer. War ended in 1945, drugstore still open, he saw about 400 IOU notes from his neighbors, in the drawer. HE BURNED ALL THE IOUs and forgave all the debts.
