Old man doing young man shit.

We were driving the most dangerous high-altitude road in the world, the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan, at 15,000 feet. I took Diamox that increases blood volume, but I have high blood pressure, and 25 years of RK then Lasix. When we came down into a valley to 5000 feet, my BP plus the lens scarring blew the entire retina off my Right eye. Then, because there was no way I was going to give up, I travelled like that for another 5 months, insuring the retina would never reattach correctly again.

This happened just in front of us:

Big deal, one time I went to Gatorland and watched them jump for chicken. 110 countries is cool and all, but some of those gators got nearly 6 feet in the air!

I've been to Gatorland several times over the decades; it's one of our favorite kitsch places. In fact, I wrote about it in my first travel book:
