Lab results

The Doc called me up to tell me the bad news about my latest lab results ... blood & urine samples ...

Cholesterol ... why do they keep bringing up cholesterol? Just because I eat bacon & eggs for breakfast? And REAL BUTTER too! Okay, so it was a whopping 120. (4 those like seestor who don't know or worry about these things ... that' really low). And the bad LDL was only 50.

Then she had to tell me that I'm eating too many pretzels in the truck ... as I'm driving down the road ... too much bread-stuff ... my triglycerides are over 200. -- sigh.

Veggies1

The squash plants have put out LOTS of flowers ... but no squash is growing. There are a few round small red tomatoes, but they are either split or partially eaten by something. Then there are these kind of pear-shaped ones growing on this other tomato plant.

To the immediate right is a white eggplant that is growing. And Lastly, we have a contest going on between the zuchini plant on the left and the white potato plant on the right ... let's see who takes over the most territory. I doubt we'll get any potatoes ... but we may get some zuchini.

A Walk in the Park

While wandering in the park today, I took some fotos of children. Some kids had interesting t-shirts: "Aunt Nae's the Greatest", "Warning ... I'm not listening", "My name is Trouble ... and I've earned it", "School Vacation ... a three month recess".

What a wonderful opportunity to see families interacting ... to observe children maturing. They even let me hold a couple of babies!

The Medical Appointment ...

Remember that all important medical appointment ... I only drove 860 miles yesterday to get home for it. The doctor decided that he needed an extended holiday (4th of July weekend) ... so the doctor canceled. Re-scheduled for the 15th.
Argh! ... :-p
