Flora That I Encountered During My Morning Constitutional.
Click to ENLARGE.
It has been an unusually hot Summer. Lots of (near) 90F days. This is taking a toll on the flowers. That was noticeable today. Most of the flowers were gone. But, still plenty of flora. I just wanted to share. ENJOY. SMILE.

For Whom Does THIS Bell Toll?
It is at a new ‘bed-and-breakfast’ up-here. I walked by it this morning. Cute. It is on a deck. So, low down. Quite the view from that balcony, however. Just wanted to share.

‘Samsung Watch 3’ Finally Available On Amazon — 48-Hours After It Was On ‘Best Buy’.
Click to access the brand new Amazon listing.
Click to ENLARGE. Google ‘shopping’ still wasn’t showing Amazon.
It was amusing & very obvious. ‘Samsung‘ gave ‘Best Buy‘ precedence — & no doubt ‘Best Buy’ would have had to pay for it dearly. But, they only appear to have got a 2-day head-start.
Amazon has just started listing it — offering more or less immediate shipping.
That is good. I refuse to buy items such as this from ‘Best Buy‘.

872 Comets Supposedly ‘Visible’ — All Telescopically; No Naked-Eye Anymore.
Click to ENLARGE.
My new Excel spreadsheet that enables me to analyze the data.
The raw list from the MPC.
Click to ENLARGE.
I wanted a good handle on this. Yes, the MPC maintains a list, BUT it is hard to analyze. So, I used that data to create one of my SPECIAL Excel spreadsheets. Now I can slice & dice the data at my will.
The MPC list has 872 valid entries! That is a LOT.
C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was the brightest — albeit based on a July 13, 2020, reading. Well, that is now way obsolete. The brightness of C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) is NOW above ‘5’. It has to be ‘5’ or BELOW to be naked-eye visible. So, none of these 872 comets are naked-eye visible.
The next brightest, periodic, 2P/Encke, is at 10. That puts it even beyond binoculars.
So, a heads up. No point looking up. No naked-eye visible comets at present. SMILE.
That is why C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was so special.

Tad Distressed That ‘Green Giant’ ‘Riced Veggies’ Are Not As Healthy As I Had Hoped.
Click to ENLARGE.
I have been eating these microwavable ‘Green Giant’ veggie packets for years — as a part of my low-carb diet. They are convenient & kind of met my needs. I was delighted when they came up with the rice cauliflower offerings last year. I would fry it up with hot peppers, cilantro, scallions & leeks to make a quick vegetable curry. I would have this about 2 to 3 times a week.
3-weeks ago I had my blood work done ahead of my dreaded annual physical. While the numbers claim I am fine I wasn’t thrilled! I could have done better. So, over the last couple of weeks I have been re-reading all of the product labels — much more carefully. Hhhhmmm. Yes, this is NOT bad, but, I had not realized. I could do without the added sugar. So, I cut back on these. SMILE.

My Cholesterol HDL Count, At 84, Is Rather High; Doctor Attributes It To …
Click to ENLARGE.
Click to ENLARGE. From ‘Mayo Clinic’.
Click to ENLARGE. From ‘WebMD’.
So, I had my dreaded annual physical this Tuesday, August 4, 2020 — with a new doctor (in that I finally ditched ‘Dartmouth Hitchcock (Concord)’. As always I got my blood work done before the physical.
This part of the physical, as he was looking through my results, went like this:
“Wow. HDL of 84. That is HIGH. I don’t think I have seen a count that high. Definitely higher than mine, and I thought mine was good.
Hhhmmmm ….
I guess that is what walking 8-miles a day must do for your HDL. Keep it up.“
************
Well, I don’t take any of this TOO seriously. I know that life is extremely unpredictable & that these numbers, in the end, could mean diddly.
It is, however, interesting that my HDL was 54 two-years ago when I was not doing anything like the number of steps I do now. My highest prior to this, going back 7-years, was 62. So, I guess it must be related to all those miles I clock each day — these days. Yes, I average around 8-miles a day. SMILE.

‘Samsung Watch 3’ Group On Facebook — Go Ahead & Join.
Click image to TO JOIN. Please do.
Click to ENLARGE.
Given the number of ‘Garmin‘ groups on Facebook — & I belong to many of them — I was surprised that there was NONE for the ‘Samsung Watch 3‘ which was announced yesterday.
The ‘Samsung Watch 3‘ has potential. NO, I haven’t got one yet. SMILE. But, I probably will in a few weeks after I double-, triple-check the reviews.
Many features that appeal to I. EKG & AMOLED display for a start.
I will, of course, keep you posted. IF you are interested PLEASE joint the group. It is FREE (for now). SMILE.
