It's wild, Dr. Mehmet, when I look back at my whole life, and as I write, how I remember these details as I hit the keys on the laptop is often a mystery to me. I genuinely believe it comes from a higher power. Your words of encouragement and support mean the world to me. Blessings, Ollie

What an adventure! You’ve already done so much in your life. The fire extinguisher story made me smile - my wife has been saying literally for years that we should invent a beach stand spraying system, where you just walk through and get coated in whatever factor you want. It seems like you were way ahead of us Ollie!

Ollie I loved reading this.lt made me think of my early twenties when we would head to Surfers for our holidays. Probably at about the same time. 100 posts in 270 days is a great effort well done

Jane, thank you for always keeping up with my journey. I reached 100 posts in just 270 days, or a little under nine months. If I knew what I know now about writing, I certainly would have paid a lot more attention in school. Even my parents tried to get tutors to help me, but I genuinely believe I have ADD. This is undoubtedly a huge lesson, too bad the parents aren't alive to read. Thank you for the restack. Ollie
