    Beware Exploding Lighters!

    This is correct. We are asked in my profession to refrain from using personal identifiers, such as names, ages, race, and gender, when discussing events outside of the care team. HIPAA takes precedence over good grammar. Besides, the patient's gender has zero relevance to the explosive...

    Beware Exploding Lighters!

    No, I did not get an opportunity to ask many questions as my patient (singular) said, "I don't feel much like conversation."

    Beware Exploding Lighters!

    I work in the local emergency room. Yesterday, an elderly patient came in by ambulance after they had suffered severe burns to their face, neck, and ears.

    Washington State events

    There's not much in terms of pipe shows or conventions around here. The big ones are in Chicago, LA, and Vegas. The Seattle Pipe Club has various events throughout the year which are fun, but nothing approaching the level of the big pipe shows.

    Swedish Pipe Book?

    This is the one! Thank you to all of you for your input and suggestions. @autumnfog, you're the big winner! It was indeed "Pip Rökarnas Sköna Värld." Looking through this book today, I could smell the tobacconist shop in Arvika and taste my first blend (Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish). It has been...
