Steve and Judy's Travels!

Remember back in February when I got that Leqvio shot to lower my LDL cholesterol number?  I wasn’t concerned about it working, everything we’ve ever tried works to lower my LDL cholesterol.  I was more concerned about side effects.  I’ve never been able to tolerate any of these effective medications.  Well, it has been six months now.  I’ve had my second shot, my LDL is Way down, and I still feel good. 

Normal people are supposed to have an LDL level of 100 or less.  With my cardiovascular issues, I’m supposed to be at or below 70.  That is never going to happen in nature.  Before the shot I was at 168.  3 months later I was at 120.  Now I’m at 81 and I still feel good.  Feels like a win.

Three feeders.  There may be as many as 30 altogether.  Perpetual motion.  Hard to tell.

The little sprig of a Lantana that was just barely there.

We came back from our trip and the little plant has done quite well in our absence!

It has been a hot dry summer.  With a little water this little flowery bush should really flourish now.

It just showed up today.  All of a sudden, instead of an occasional hummingbird or two, we’ll have 10 or 15 all at once.  I put out more feeders so they can chase each other back and forth between them.

I can’t get very many in the frame all at once.

I’ll have to stake-out for some better pictures.

We let Merlin, the bird I.D. app on the phone, listen to pick out which hummingbirds we’re getting.  Most of them are ruby-throated, but we still have the resident buff-bellied, and the occasional black-chinned and rufous.

Driving (riding) in the Tesla.

It doesn’t need me.  All it needs to know is where I want to go and then I become superfluous.  An image comes to mind of our kids in booster chairs in the back seat with the pretend steering wheel in front of them, spinning the wheel and driving like crazy, having absolutely no impact on what is really happening.  That’s me.  Pretend driving now.
