GPS: Good or Bad?
Do you think the use of a GPS is dumbing down America? I’m not against using a GPS, in fact I use it everytime we go to Virginia or especially if I’m going to someplace new IN Virginia. You just type it in and you’re all set. The reason this came to mind is, one…

Super Bowl Time

Trying To Explain Stroke Fatigue
Sunday Column Pete Braley I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m in a Facebook group for stroke survivors. I find it very interesting and if nothing else, it shows that you’re not alone in some of the what you’re dealing with. It’s very eye-opening at times when you see how others have been affected and…
