The Northwest Physical Therapy's Bluffton office has relocated to 80 State Route 103, Suite B, according to Dan Settlage of NWPT.

Its new location is directly east of Bluffton Vet Hospital, which is located at 70 SR 103.

NWPT has leased space from Bluffton Family Recreation at 215 Snider Road since 1999.  

“Due to continued growth by both organizations and a desire to serve the needs of the Bluffton community in new and better ways, more physical space was necessary,” Settlage told the Icon.

My long work day got the best of me one late evening. I spent a good number of minutes griping to my lovely wife. I complained about my company, my boss, my coworkers, and even my lunch. 

“What would you like me to do about all that?”
“I don't know. Sympathize? Empathize?”
“What difference would that make?”

“Heigh-Ho”- The Seven Dwarfs, Disney (1937)

Workers around the world can relate to this classic tune. The daily slog can get the best of even the most dedicated of employees.

Much as I try, I can't seem to put down this book I purchased on Amazon  last week. 

Good trick to keep people reading – sprinkle their name onto a page every now and then.  Dang if it doesn't take me all the way back to the summer of 1958 when I moved to 150 Grove Street. 

 Rudi's essay hooked me right off the bat, but tell him for me that gasoline was not 30 cents a gallon, it was 27.9. 

That off my chest, I am collecting a whole bunch of corrections to mistold stories.
