I do not think war, 3 divorces, 10 years of civil service employment, prison or 30 years of daily pot and methamphetamine use did my health (physical or mental) much good. Hepatitis A, B and C. Bilateral adrenal calcification, thyroid gland, pituitary gland and liver problems. Deviated septums, arthritis and over a dozen unset but healed fractures. Then over ten years of college in my fourties and fifties. Had illicit labs, grow rooms, organic gardens, built log cabins and homes and a solar heated home in Alaska. Been up on mountains and glaciers and on lots of Alaska waterways. Managed pets stores and even owned one once. Commercially set up and maintain too many reef tanks and several refrigerated tanks. Get to work on a new hatchery being built here in Fairbanks this summer. I have not treated my body well in the past and do not still, but I am still here. I might not be wise, but I am educated, and very experienced, too much. Mainly, I am usually just tired.
