Dear Sally, My brother lives in San Luis Obispo County if you know where that is. I lived in Arroyo Grande for 10 years as a child. The furtherest North I've been is SF. I've always wanted to drive North and check out the scenery. I know it has to be "Gods Country". I have been to Tahoe and Reno before. Maybe some time I can make it up that far North to check out "your little piece of Heaven". The Neurontin has kinda spaced me out too, but I have only been on it a couple of weeks, and feel I have to give it a chance. You know how it is "willing to give anything a try" if it will somehow maybe help!!! Well I wish you painfree days and enjoy your tranquility and beautiful scenerey...and try not to work too hard, take care. Tami
