Although my time in college, and my career for 7.4 years, had nothing to do with horses, in fact quite the opposite, it should be mentioned I was a computer programmer, systems analyst, technician, and network engineer. I enjoyed those years very much, until the sensitivities I first noticed in high school, became a serious problem.

My career was abruptly truncated in 1993 by multiple over-exposures, resulting in multiple chemical sensitivity, neurological damage, and electrical sensitivity, which sent my health into a tailspin. As more and more people have the same thing happen to them, my problem is no longer unique. See my health page to learn more.

During this time, I had abandoned computers and all electrical pollution, going low-tech from my formerly high-tech life. At this time, this area was quiet, rural, and beautifully green, thanks to all the rain.
As my nest egg was erased, I stopped eating organic foods, and my health turned around for the worst. Then wireless towers were being put up in Lebam, and around the Willapa valley. With my already known sensitivity to (magnetic fields of) power lines, and emissions from electronics, the new danger of wireless became more obvious. I marked the threshold of cel-towers at 1.5 miles radius, from within I avoided. My declining health, combined with the cordless phones all around me, eventually made it necessary to move again.
