54 degrees this morning, walk 37:48 minutes
Every time I walk and see the “video billboard” lighting up the backyards of about ten house, I get angry about the city that allowed this to happen and the billboard owner who has such a lack of concern for other persons, a few dollars a month is more important than destroying the house value and quality of life for at least ten households!
To say I will never buy anything advertised on it is meaningless, since oddly enough, I don’t remember anything that is advertised on it.
What is amazing is the overall lack of planning/concern by the city, a huge video board board, a Sonic with a 24 hour video sign and music, and a huge strip shopping mall with absolutely no buffer between the commercial and residential. (Probably they are going to plant some tiny trees that will die within a year, although I haven’t even seen a sign of that!
Last day of my 4 days off. I actually have really enjoyed it, although it isn’t something I would want to do all the time yet!
I went ahead and finished the John Grisham book. I got more involved in it as the action proceed, although I don’t know that I will read any more of his books of the same type.
I have been using my “Pulse Oximeter” to keep track of my oxygen level (as well as my pulse). It may seem rather weird to say I am having “fun” with it, let me use the word “interesting”, it was been an interesting experience.
While I haven’t thought of it before, my oxygen level drops after exercise, which I believe now is somewhat common or natural. I also verified that the “supplemental oxygen” machine really works. I don’t quite understand how the Pulse Oximeter actually works. I understand how it measures my pulse, but don’t understand how it measures the oxygen in my blood. Maybe one of those things I would just as soon not know!
Nearing the book on Elon Musk (Tesla, Space X etc.). I recently noticed that the owner of Amazon is also getting into the space business.
Reminded again why I don’t like to shop at Amazon. I ordered some sandals, since I couldn’t find any at stores (since winter is coming). One pair was ok, the other pair were just cheap junk, like a lot of stuff from Amazon.
The hassle of returning it almost made we want to throw it away instead of messing around with sending it back, but I felt I needed to send them a message, that it was junk and I wasn’t going to accept it.
Another dream, again during my “post exercise” nap:
10 3 15 Dream Saturday
Dream, with an underlying them of fear and menace and danger.
I was up in the middle of the night, Aliene was sleeping. We lived in some kind of town house.
At one point I was driving someplace and a lime green car parked and I drove around it thinking there was something dangerous about it.
The scene I remember most, I was sitting in a courtyard talking with a person that works with me now and someone who I assume worked there. At one point I asked if anyone wanted coffee. they said no, but I wanted some.
I kept asking about someone who was some kind of Supervisor or Administrator, saying I had never met him.
I went to make some coffee and kept locking myself out of of the house. Aliene was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake her up.
Then I saw Katherine (my granddaughter) sitting the porch listening to music. I had locked the front door and she was on the front porch.
A car went past as I tried to quietly get back inside to get some coffee.
I woke up.
That’s it for now, Sunday, October 4, 2015.
