[AT] Horsepower question

[Larry Goss]

My latest stroke (that I know of) had no immediate symptoms.  When I finally had an MRI, they found that I have had so many strokes that they literally can not count them.  All they could say is that the number is in the thousands.  Bottom line: Get your blood pressure down below 120/90.  Do it now.  Do not pass GO.  Do not pick up $200.
