The Baseball Story (Jeffrey Conner)

"I had played baseball my whole life. Little League, junior high, high school, American Legion--you name it, I played it. As it is with many little boys, I had always dreamed of being on the mound with the 'big boys.' Right after high school, my dream came true. The California Angels drafted me in the third round. I couldn't believe it! Me, Jeffrey D. Conner, the little boy with the big dream, was going to the pros! All those years of practicing and playing, of dreaming and fantasizing, were all about to become reality.
What a thrill it was to be out there on the mound pitching to players I had followed throughout my teenage years. I was in heaven. I'd been pitching for three years when it happened--every pitcher's worst fear--a shoulder injury. The pain was tremendous.
The team doctor sent me to see an orthopedist. After an examination, I was diagnosed with tendonitis in the shoulder. He prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. I was to take it for ten days and sit out games and practice there. After ten days of rest and medication, the pain was still there. I was given another ten days' worth of medicine. Ten more days of no playing. The pain persisted. Back to the doctor. After another examination, he told me there was nothing wrong. His diagnosis: The pain in my shoulder was all in my head. So I finished the season, pitching in pain.
During the off-season- I heard a chiropractor talking on the radio about shoulder injuries. I decided to give it a try. After examining me, the chiropractor discovered I had injured my deltoid muscle and the biceps tendon under the deltoid. The tendon kept popping out of its groove. He adjusted my shoulder, put the tendon back in place and gave me a series of exercises to strengthen my shoulder muscles.
Pain free, I pitched for seven more years. I had a great time during the ten years I spent living my lifelong dream. Now, at age twenty-eight, my baseball career had come to an end, although not through injury. My arm was healthy, but for me, baseball was over. I had to decide what I was going to do with the rest of my life. One day, while reminiscing over the glorious days I had spent in baseball, I remembered how my career had been saved by that chiropractor and how he had helped me continue living my dream. It suddenly hit me. I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to help people, especially athletes, the way I had been helped I wanted to be a doctor of chiropractic."

Good to know information!

I feel like this is an area where there is a lack of knowledge about what classifies as a motorcycle and what is legal and or not legal on the sidewalks and how old someone has to be to operate it. This gives a lot of clarification.

I do love WSDOTs sense of humor! May 15th-21st! Plan accordingly 😁

WORK POSTPONED- Thursday, May 15 UPDATE: The SR 18 closure at the I-90 interchange slated for this weekend (May 15-21) has been POSTPONED due to rain in the forecast. We will let you know as soon as we can when the next possible work window will be (we will NOT do this work over Memorial Day weekend).

===========================================

The SR 18 full closure at I-90 is just a few days away! Everything will be all right, though (because "right" is all you'll be able to do there -- ha ha ha just a little construction humor).

As a reminder, here's what's happening: Both directions of SR 18 will fully close at I-90 in Snoqualmie from 9 p.m. Thursday, May 15, through 5 a.m. Wednesday, May 21. This may be rescheduled if it rains.

No traffic will be allowed under I-90 along SR 18/Snoqualmie Parkway. If you travel through this area, expect delays and detour signs. Give yourself plenty of extra time. This closure condenses months of nighttime and weekend work into five full days to get the work done much quicker.

We've got all the maps you need to get around this area during the closure. Click this link to our blog then scroll down to the bottom to see how you can get from Point A to Point B, no matter which way you're going: https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2025/05/diverging-from-norm-to-deliver-diamond.html

Our daughter started supporting The Outdoors for All Foundation at age 4 when she started attending their annual on snow fundraiser "Spreefest"! Around age 7 she decided to start fundraising on her own! This year at 14 she decided to Captain her own Spreefest fundraising team! She set out with a goal of $500, hit it and moved to $1000. She hit that and then decided to go for $2,000! This kid has been perusing both of our contact lists and reaching out to friends and family to ask for their support. She's got 18 donors and has raised 1580 to date.

To say we're proud is an understatement!

She doesn't have social media but made this video and asked us to share. I volunteered for Outdoors for All for 10 years. I still fundraise for them. Zoey will volunteer with them next winter. I cannot think of a more deserving organization for Zoey's efforts.

Check out her video to learn more! 🙂 Here is the link to donate if you would like to support Zoey and the Outdoors for All Foundation!

Prayers with those in the path of Milton and those affected by Helene. Most of us know families, loved ones, friends and colleagues affected by these storms. There are large organizations that you can donate to; there are also small local ones. In the comments I will post some local donation sites I found for Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
