"We don't stop playing because we grow old.  We grow old because we stop playing."

The worldwide headquarters for randymays.com is in Eastern Idaho.  To give you a better perspective on our local area, here is a quote from Cindy Smith-Putnam, spokesperson for the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC), "The way we play around here is the way we get hurt.  We've got bear maulings, rock climbers (falling), bison gorings, folks slamming through barbed wire fences on snow machines, five-car pileups in icy roads, hunters shooting each other, kayakers knocking their noggins on rocks - you name it."

Personal comment.  Having, at last count, been a temporary resident of EIRMC on seven occasions, I can state without the slightest hesitation that our local hospital has the best nurses in the world.
