Zoo

The crows were stealing his food!

You should have heard this one guy, I though he had a hard-on staring at this buck.

He said that is the kind of buck I dream about.  He said that 4 times!

For a dollar you can buy a seed stick.  He ate while I pet him.

I had surgery last week on my bladder.  I was in the hospital a little longer than expected, unfortunately I still feel like crap.  Yesterday I went to the zoo to use up a free ticket I was so happy I didn't puke on any children.  I wanted too.

A perscription for Disaster

So you are ready to get out of the hospital or leave the doctor office and your doctor asked would you like me to fax your prescription in or would you like to take a hard copy?  Take the hard copy!  Some drugs won't be released or even filled before the pharmacist receives a signed prescription.  I went to rite aide, waited for ten minutes, only to find out I couldn't have my drugs.  I had the hard copy but it wasn't signed.  Well I had a few choice words I called my doctor.  Then I got a prescription for something else.

Because of thefts at drug stores drugs like Oxy, Morphine are only given with hard copy prescription

I will be in the hospital tomorrow (art by Henery)

I will be the hospital for a few days getting my bladder fixed, yeah!  MMMMMMMM hospital food again.  I will be there 2 to five days, I'm hoping for only 2.

See ya later crocodile

Medical I.D. Bands

New Fashion Statement!

Instead of dog tags, I thought I start a collection of medical I.D bands.  The red and white bands are for one hospital because I was supposed to have an operation.  I was second up so I got to sleep in a little. I got in at my appointed time and waited and then waited some more.  Finally I said, "I'm really tired and need to get out of this wheelchair,  what is the hold up?"  Maybe its a Friday the Thirteenth thing but the patient before me ran into complications.  I finally went back to pre-op and got prepped.and also waited some more.  I fell asleep waiting so long, I dreamed that I was in post-op and the operation was done.  I was SOL(shit out of luck).  A surgeon woke me up three hours later to say the first guy is still in there and it could be another four hours before you get in there.  Do you still want surgery? Oh hell no!  We need to reschedule.  He's a good surgeon I'm told but I don't want him after ten hours of him working on the other guy.  My surgeon was probably thinking about sleep, coffee or one hell of a major piss. The surgeon is a urologist what possibly could be wrong that a person needs eight hours of surgery?

The green band is from another hospital because of difficulties from the first hospital.

Russia has given Seattle Beautiful Sunsets

According to weathermen 

the beautiful sunsets we have been seeing

are because of a wild fire in Siberia. 

Eastern Russia is on fire.  Smoke from 67 wildfires are burning near Lake Baikal.  Smoke from the last two weeks has risen into the jet stream and has drifted here to the Pacific Northwest.   According to the news Russian fire fighters are not doing much to put the fires out.  Rain in Seattle should help with the smoke but in Russia the fires could burn all summer long.

Chalk Lady, Westlake Park, Seattle

Beautiful Black Woman in Westlake Park

People were walking on her like she wasn't even there.

Look at the amazing detail in her eyes.

 People's feet, bike tires and rain will wash this masterpiece away.

I wish I could have hovered over the picture for a better look.

Firebird

Red, White and Blue

My attempt at fireworks this year.  I set my camera on a tripod.  I then set my camera at f11and pre-focused while they was still light.  I set the timer to remoter and the shutter speed to bulb. 

Happy Fourth!

Fireworks from Lake Union!

From when I lived in Fremont

Bring me your poor your huddled masses,

 actually go home we already have enough poor.
Call me heartless but shouldn't we help our own first?
