I'm still down at the southern part of the Texas coast. Been eating much more than barbecue this trip and having fun with friends.

Yesterday, we watched six or so hummingbirds hovering around a feeder. Got some fairly decent photos, but nothing spectacular.

From DR Robin:
Quote
As a result of a published essay in the book Atheist Voices of Minnesota, I was asked to expand my essay into a full-length autobiography.  I told the publisher that I still have a lot of living to do.  Ask me again in 20 years.  (I think I'll actually be interesting then, LOL.)

Through the book, I have gotten asked to give presentations to atheist/humanist/Unitarian groups, which I'm more than happy to do.  I've gotten chances to meet wonderful people, and hopefully, to change a some people's lives for the better.

DR Robin I find this very interesting.

Good morning, all! First thing today, I get to attempt another trip to the pharmacy for this credit I am owed and my mystery I left behind yesterday.  After I calmed down yesterday afternoon, I realizes that once my legs gave out, I should have just sat in the pharmacy's waiting area until my body was ready to work again. Instead, I panicked and did no good for anyone.

You are figuring it out, good!   Now you need to figure out when to sit before your legs give out.

When we don't feel well and our bodies fail us instinct is to be tough and continue on when instead we should listen to our bodies and rest and not worry what other's think about our actions.

And I am home from the pharmacy with my novel. The trip was mostly easy, except once again, after standing at the pharmacy counter, my left leg decided it didn't want to support me any longer. So, I tool my time getting to the bus stop where I could sit, rest, and read.

I'm glad your trip was easier today.

Sounds like the best plan.  Just take your time, sit and rest when you need to.  You may get to see something amusing, interesting or beautiful while you are waiting to get on you feet and move on

I'm doing ok today.  I think I'll need another adjustment before I go on a day bus trip on Tuesday, but I'm not in pain.  I pushed it a bit yesterday and I can tell.  So today, after running my errands I am resting in the living room with the windows open and the cool air coming in.  It's about time it cooled down a bit.  Now if we could just end this drought.

Tonight is Joshua Bell with the Sioux City Symphony.   We have an excellent Symphony and I'm really looking forward to the concert tonight. I'll go early for the pre-concert talk by our conductor, then will sit back an enjoy the show.

DR Cilla I'm amazed you had relief from your back pain with one treatment.  I did not have good luck with a chiropractor and am impressed it worked at all.  I'm glad you are feeling better.

I've always had good luck with Chiros, I had whiplash as a kid and the treatment worked.  Edith could barely move last year, she didn't want to go to a chiro but when she did, she came back without pain.  I think she had one more adjustment and hasn't had the problem again.  Chiropractic has always been very big around here, probably in part because Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport is one of the best.  My whole family has gone to them for years.  Around here the advice is generally go to a doctor and they'll put you on meds, go to a chiropractor and they'll take away your pain.  Of course first they do some testing to be sure it isn't something more serious than they can handle

I should bathe my motor car.  There is so much dust in the air here that last time there was a rain shower, it rained dirt and my car is covered with little mud drops

He's wonderful in concert. Saw him twice when he was a child prodigy and what I've heard since then has just impressed me more. Glad he wasn't a flash in the pan.
