    Tinnitus Relief

    Attending loud concerts is not likely to be the reason for having it in one ear per my ENT. I thought that concerts or my being exposed to lots of artillery rounds while I was in the Army caused my left ear tinnitus. My ENT said those kind of exposures would usually cause one to develop it in...

    Do You Read On A Kindle, Paper Books, Audiobooks?

    Due to spending a lot screen time everyday using tablets, laptops, etc. my eyes enjoy the change to hardback reading for books. It's similar to the decompression, relaxation, and zen feeling I experience while smoking my pipes. Without long commutes, audio books just don't have any appeal for me.

    Pipe Racks for Wide Stems

    Since I'm not very skilled at modifying or building my own pipe racks, I just keep my larger pipes in pipe socks.

    Amateur Astronomy and the Pipe Smoker

    I didn't realize that camera telephoto zoom lens enabled such great shots. You must have some great photos of birds. Are you participating in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count? Strangely with the milder winter in the northern states and Canada I've been seeing a lot more Robbins this...

    Amateur Astronomy and the Pipe Smoker

    That's a great photo. How did you take it without a telescope? Your camera is that good without having a scope? "The Last Frontier" that you are from must be a hell of a lot lot closer to the moon than the piece of terra firma I'm from!

    Sleeping In The New House.

Excursions by ferry across the bay, or crossing the Golden Gate Bridge during non peak commute hours. It's...

    The Virtues of Black Coffee

    Been drinking my coffee hot and black for many years now. In my opinion it's the only way to appreciate the true full flavor of the coffee. Since I became accustomed to black coffee , I no longer can even force myself to drink coffee with any additives. The taste of coffee that has had sugar...

    Inflationary pricing has been hitting the South Louisiana Gulf Coast area really bad. I doubt there are many places where it has not been happening.

    Things I Hate About Arthritis.

    From my experience, CBD products vary very widely in quality and effectiveness. The only ones that have helped me have contained 60 mg CBD per 1 ml. serving of the tincture. The oil I use has less than 0.3 THC. It does not get me high or buzzed in any way. It took a really long time of...
