Saturday. Awoke finally at five-fifty to get up, take the blood pressure (98/71 - we're going to be doing this for a while) and get ready to head out for breakfast under scattered clouds to arrive at ten minutes to seven, finding the restaurant dark and so entered through the dining area door to turn on the lights and settle in with the papers. Oh. No reading glasses. This session with the papers is going to be slower and more difficult than I'd like. I've done this before, forgotten the glasses and phone, but not in a while.

Had the two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up around eight-thirty again, the reading a little slower than usual, as you might guess, and so out the door under a bright sun. No particular plan in what I photographed other than they were the usual suspects, but feeling reasonably clear headed and not tired, the blood pressure on my mind. Home to take the selfie and then take the blood pressure, 115/70, close to normal this time. The better test will come this later this afternoon and into the evening.

Not sure there's anything going on to photograph over this long weekend, but maybe with the blood pressure taken care of I'll just, you know, go out and find some. Then again, maybe not.

We are babbling.

I suspect that's not going to change.

Later. A high in the low eighties and so a bath and then television before a short walk over to the lake, people about, but not as many as there have been in the past with the temperature lower.

You don't know temperature has anything to do with it. You'd think the higher, the more people coming out.

Well, it got me to turn around and go right back inside. Wouldn't like to go through temperatures like these without a fan, thinking of the fact P.G.&E. has announced it will probably at some point have to turn the electricity off, even in this neighborhood, when there's a fire danger.

This isn't Arizona quite yet.

Evening. Nothing on television and so to bed early again, skipping the tablet and listening to the Giants game on AM radio, the various public stations pretty much hopeless on Saturday nights. Tired. Took the blood pressure at six-fifty, 112/69, so far the highest reading occurred earlier this afternoon at three-thirty, 124/66, the first to break 120. No problem whatsoever in other words.
