Wednesday Pax

Wednesday, an adventure: trip for two to Tyndall to get Linda's new eyeglasses at the vision center there, and stop in the Commissary and possibly the Base Exchange as well. Yeah, laugh, but when you get to this age you also will enjoy a drive across to the other side of Bay County as an exciting and exhausting day! And pray there will still be the two of you, because it isn't all that common.

Genesis 2:7, breath is a divine blessing and Life is Good.

Woke at five o'clock dark to lightning across the Bay way off southeast beyond Tyndall toward PSJ and Apalachicola, and 7H porch rail is wet, showing we did have rain during the night. When I snapped that shot at 6:46 a.m. there was still lightning in the high-peaked cloud to the far right.

Otherwise today, my seventeen year old car flashes "service air bag" so drop it by the shop while we go to Tyndall in Linda's car. Had my ancient Cadillac thoroughly serviced,

it must have been earlier this year, new plugs and ignition coils, new tires, everything still works properly and you don't want to let things start slipping. I drive it anytime I'm going someplace alone, such as from 7H to the office and back; otherwise maybe about once a month. It's probably the only 2006 car around with only 70,000 miles on it. It may get driven a couple hundred miles a year anymore, but it's nice to have two cars just in case. Linda's car, which, in accumulated exasperation with her previous car because in all its years the air conditioning never worked despite numerous trips to the shop both under warranty and after, we bought new just before Thanksgiving in 2017, has 25,000 miles. So, we've had it five years now, eh?

Consumer Reports suggests going to hybrid cars, but that's someone else's future, not ours, we seem to be all set, nomesane?

+++++++++++=

Some years ago my brother had a severe bout with West Nile virus, and it left him always dizzy. He takes Vertisil, a 2xdaily capsule, for that and it helps. My dizziness that apparently comes naturally with aging, has been trying to take charge of me, so I ordered a bottle of sixty capsules to try for a month: it arrived yesterday and I've had three so far and am determined to really check it out and not get carried away by hopes and imagination; but it seems to be helping already.

See, if you read an old man's mind, you're going to pick up all kinds of things that you didn't really want to know.

Pax anyway,
