Shots from the Lip

 9 brief sessions x 3 repetitions:  that's the Valeda program.  $6,500 for a program approved by the FDA but not eligible for government payments........hope for dry AMD that I seem to have genetically inherited.   I started last year......today the second 9 session cycle began.  8am at 2021 Santa Monica Blvd, 7th floor.  I started with eye sight testing:  20-25 for each eye......quite acceptable for an old fart!  Then, right eye first with a 30 second, eye open, flashing lights followed by 90 seconds, 'infrared heat' and eye closed......one repetition and then the same with the left eye.......three times this week and then, two more weeks before months off prior to the last 3 week session. After 5 days of summer-like weather, with temperatures reaching 29C, it is currently warmer in the mornings than it has been but also projections show that the high's - at least early this week - will be 20C......not yet time to have my Dodger jacket clean...

The front entry clothes rack:  3 bike shirts to the wash......I'll keep with three shirts to use during the 2 or 3 days during the week that I get out on my bike. Not as hot out as yesterday.....more runners out to slow things down....but nice as most of the path I travel has now been cleared of the rain damage from last week.  Today was nice......and hopefully, there'll be summer weather instead of winter cold. Today I hope to finally get some use out of my Rollei 35AF........I now know what I want to do with my Leitz Phone 2........in essence, replicated from the Sharp Android phone manufactured for sales in Japan in 2022 to Xiaomi's Leica phone - that looks and has the specs of my white, shiney bodied phone, only in black matte
