Day 18


 You may have noticed that I ride out on the Courtney Campbell Causeway a lot. Today is no different.  

As I was riding I got to thinking that I hadn't seen any dolphins lately. I thought that maybe it had been too hot. Heaven knows that I have heard that complaint from many around me so why not Flipper too. So I stopped at the bridge and tried to spot some. 

So I spent a few moments gazing out on the bay. Then far off in the distance I saw something break the surface. Was it a fin? 

I kept watching and saw it again, closer. It was dolphins swimming toward the bridge. By the time they came closer I had my phone out and captured a video. 


The photo above shows all the jet skies on the beach I talked about in the video.

A Quest " Seafood Resturants I'm Goina Eat At "  Some of these places I have already eaten at but they deserve a second try. Others are new to me and ...

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...
