Low Blood Pressure 2019 August

Most people who have had a heart attack also have high blood pressure. Not me. Well, my blood pressure is easily controlled. I had very mild high blood pressure. After the heart attack, it was decided to treat it. And now I have low blood pressure. It is low enough that I’m not released from the place where I get treatment for cardiac issues.

It’s part of my condition. Hopefully we can work it out.

Free Library

Being the kind of place that Portland is, there are lots of Free Library sites around. They are on the edge of the lawn, homemade, and filled with a variety of books. One problem with them are the people who drive around, grab the good stuff, and sell them. I don’t know if they stock their stores or take them in for sale. But, unfortunately, this happens.

Rather than getting disappointed one local free librarian has taken the matter into their hands. They had a stamp made. And a warning sign for the outside of their library. The would be reseller is warned.

Walking: New Height

After, it seems, a month I took off on another “big walk” to work up to my half marathon. A start of up to a horse in a horse ring and a free library with a warning about books being stamped with warnings. They were for reading, not for stealing for resale. Then I’d stop in at Plaid Pantry to pick up something to eat, just in case.

Road paving, which It sorely needed, was ongoing. This blocked cars from going through. Pedestrians were allowed and in an instance escorted. Complete with route suggestions and a warning that if “it started to beep, it’s backing up.”

On a whim, I decided to climb Mt. Tabor. It was the most arduous thing I’ve done so far. It didn’t look to be tough for others. Like cycling, I didn’t pass anyone. Not that on the edge of the morbidly obese person walking past me. Not a family of four. At the top of the mountain, there was a man walking with two canes and three poeple on the crest. There was a woman jogging to the top, while pushing her infant in a carraige. There were lotsof people to see. It was good.

Taking Lincoln street it seems as if we went further down. Did I really climb that high?

Off I went through the flat lands. Thinking of pie. I stopped at Laureta Jean’s for pie. And then it was time for home.
