Good 51º clear sunny morning. Cooling off and should only be in the 80º s
today. Yeah.
I looked out back yesterday morning and here were the turkeys back! YEAH! Missing was a chick, both hens were there.
Yesterday I went to my ENT's office and a Dr. Rice gave me a VNG test ...
Video Nystagmography! Here is a link that describes the test....
OMG, it was weird. With the goggles on the doctor can see what your eyes
are doing. There is a long screen that you face with red dots going back and
forth and then jumping around. You have to keep your eyes on them. Then he had a
machine that blew cold air into both ears, separately, and he monitored
reactions with a cover over the goggles so I couldn't see but had to keep my
eyes open. Then the machine blew hot air. I said, "I'm gonna be just like a
politician, full of hot air!". He laughed. This usually causes the patient to
get dizzy. The two cold air and the first hot air didn't produce any dizziness,
but the second hot air one did. Weird! I will get the results on the 4th of
September. I told the doc, that was worse than going to the dentist!
On my way home I stopped at 7 Oaks Farm and got a freshly picked
cantaloupe, some shelled Oregon Hazlenuts, and a couple of red potatoes and a
couple of white onions. Their produce all grown there and sooooo good. Ate some
cantaloupe right away! Mmmmm......
Historically this date...

Baseball pitcher to record 5,000 strikeouts.

Dinner was stirfry soba noodles, fake crab, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, olives, and
tomatoes. The noodles can be rinsed in warm water to separate them or put in the
microwave. They come with their own sauce. I heated all the ingredients except
the noodles in olive oil, add noodles, added sauce. Voilá! Good dinner! (You can
use real crab if you can afford it.. this fake kind works good for dishes like
this. Or use salmon or chicken or........ )
And births this date include....
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
