When I was young, one of the great adventures we got to take was to Oconee Nuclear Station up above Clemson, about ten miles from my house. One year in elementary school, our class took a field trip there, and that is when I got to experience this fascinating place for the first time. We rolled in as a class of youngsters – fourth grade, I think – and everyone was excited to be out of school. There were very few of us, I suspect, who even knew what it was we were … (3 comments)
When I was ten years old, we moved from our house (which we had built) in a neighborhood, to a new home on four acres of land outside the town limits.

Okay...so I am not what you would call "easy going" or "laid back" by any means, but nor am I completely "uptight" or "stressed out" all the time either. I mean, I would say I am your typical run of the mill fellow; I am fine as long as noone is touching me when we are higher than 12 feet off the ground, and I would rather be snake bitten than find a mosquito anywhere on my body.
