Let the wild rumpus start

DAY 1: Spent one hour in the RR - from 10-11:00am. Started getting a slight headache after about an hour. Mom felt perfectly normal - no headache, nothing out of the ordinary. We left to go back to the Motel to fix some lunch. I took a drive to check out the Boulder Hot Springs. It's about 3 miles outside of town. Thought it might be the perfect addition to my Radon experience. Cost is $6 for a plunge in the mineral waters/per visit. Divided into a boys section/girls section with one co-ed hotspring outside.

At this point I had seen enough naked women for one day (plunge is swimsuit optional). Decided I'd try again later in the week, after I get this Radon thing down.
1:30-5:00pm back in the RR. I tried reading, but my vision was getting just a tad blurry. I had to keep re-reading for content, so decided to put the book away. Started talking to Bill who was also in the RR and visiting from Georgia. Several years ago he had been told by three different Doctors that he needed to have his colon removed within the week. From his description it was in really, really bad shape - UC gone wild! He said that he wasn't about to have his colon removed and by coincidence read an article in The American Spectator during the same week. He got on a plane to Montana immediately! Bill was quite enjoyable to talk to, as were most of the people we met. Bill gets right up to the vents and inhales. He took in 80 hours of radon during his initial 10 days and when he went back to Georgia the doctors told him to keep doing whatever he was doing! When we saw him he said that at his last appointment, the Gastro doctor told him that his colon was as pink as a baby's and now he only had to make a Gastro appointment for every other year!

RR TOTAL = 3.5 hours

Back to Motel
Slept all night!
