I had the same experience in '01, It diminishes but, never goes away. Sorry to be such a stranger but, as you recal I was strugling with my vision. Well, when I got to S.J. I realized that getting around in little Twain Harte is quite diferent and that I was functionally blind. It was a scarry realization that I could no longer read, use the computer, drive and getting around was a problem. Well after a mountain of paperwork and a seemingly endless number of doctors, nurses,visits and phone calls I had the lense in my left eye removed and replaced with a prostetic. From 20/400 to 20/20 over night (still healing). The right will be done in mid Jan. and within about ten days I will have perfect vision for the test of my life. It has been a very srrange and scary experience. Please say hello to Max for me and offer my condolences. Today has been my first day on line and I;m using the library so I will be slow to respond for a while but, I will keep in touch. I look forward to fishing with you in the spring. Happy Holidays! Your friend. Clay Hey Jerry,

I finally attended Reno in 2007 after many years of talking about it, and the Races are beyond belief. Not only 500mph, but wing to wing 50' above the ground. I missed the races this year, but I will be back before they make them illegal. Great writing Jerry.

Your blog is very enthusiastic-good for you after days in the 90 degree heat! Just one clarification, Steven is not Tiger Destefani's son. He is pace pilot Steve Hinton's son. Hello Jerry,
