When your wife comes out of the doctor's office mumbling "255", do not ask her if that is how much she weighs!
I took Carolyn for her doctors appointment, hoping to receive positive news concerning her knee, but none was forthcoming. The knee has arthritis and possibly bone degeneration, so she has to see an orthopedic specialist in June.
Speaking of knee doctors, the gentleman I referred to a while back, the one whom works everyday and does not have any insurance and has never had to pay a doctor or clinic or hospital any money, had his knee replaced just recently. It pisses me terribly, but this is America at its best. I suppose everything evens out in the long run; the money he saves by not having to pay for health care quickly enters the economy via beer brewers.
The "255" Carolyn was grumbling about is her cholesterol level, but I had to open my big flap-trap mouth and ask about her weight! When it comes to women, I am constantly in trouble! Even at that, I remain one of the beautiful people!

While Carolyn was visiting, I drove over to the Gump Addition, an area that used to be and maybe still is the most exclusive (read: expensive) in our little city. I was looking for blooming dogwoods to get some pictures, and I as I slowly drove along a city police car quickly came up behind me so fast and close it startled me and I about ran the Escape onto the curb. Taking his hint, I exited the place and headed back toward downtown, and he followed me for awhile, but at a safer distance. Later, I read that a guy was taken into custody just before I got there for threatening to kill some people in the wealthy community. I suppose someone living there was freightened by my poking along the streets and called the police. Being a nosy photographer is a risky occupation, even for someone as docile as I.

What is it with people and mobile communications devices? Have they become so hooked on being seen and heard that they have dedicated every waking minute to staying in touch with "contacts" they may or may not know? Today I saw a man driving while animatedly talking into a phone which he held in his right hand and was smoking a cigarette and drinking Starbucks using the left one. I do not know what this happy gentleman was using to turn the steering wheel, but I sure would like to have one like it!
I sometimes use the cell phone that I've owned for four years, but I wouldn't even have it except it is handy for emergencies, and most of the places I go to shoot photos is out of range of cells. I go out to get away from such silliness as internet ads and television commercials. I have never used "text messaging", I have never emailed from the phone, and I have never "browsed the net" from it, even though it is capable of all that nonsense. I damn sure didn't pay for a DSLR and a point-and-shoot pocket camera so I could make photos with a cell phone, which mine cannot do anyway. Yes, I am a bah-humbug, but I am a lovable one!

255 I a bit troubling. Iguess they put her on some meds. That is why I went on a diet. I didnot want any cholesterol meds. i'll find out in two weeks if I need any.
She had been on meds before, but they were expensive and causing her to be very tired all the time. She got along well for more than a year without pills.
A good diet is the best way to keep ourselves free from such diseases.
