My Patented Don’t Eat Like An A$$hole Diet Is Starting To Pay Off and The Digital Tracking Scale I Use
This is the scale I use the weigh myself. It links directly to my iphone with a free app and it tracks my weight every time I hop on the scale. It was under $25 on Amazon
Hoping to break 200 soon.
No pizza, no chips, no fries.

last chance! splendid waves at peabody essex museum FEATURE CROSS COUNTRY MUST SEE LOANS
Today, tomorrow (Oct. 3) final days of exhibit, In American Waters: The Sea in American Paintings, at Peabody Essex Museum.
Don’t be distracted by a simplistic thematic construct especially when it coaxes a mind game of “What about…?” as in: What about this artist or that one? Why aren’t they included? (Visual artists like May Stevens, Vija Celmins, Blanche Lazzell, Juane Quick to see Smith, April Gornik, Joan Nelson, Duncanson, Eric Aho, Morris graves, Rauschenberg, Fischl, Frankenthaler, Fitz Henry Lane, Winslow Hopper, and Edward Hopper sprang readily to mind. And more Lawrence.) What about the de rigueur annual summer exhibitions at major galleries and institutions, since late 1880s? Aren’t the planet’s oceans a global motif not limited by media or place?
Ignore the categories or “chapters”.
Forget the sea change promise.
Just go.
Do make the must see trip to be awed and enjoy the momentous loans and great gift of seeing these selections displayed, together and their many moods of expression. Sensuous, tranquil, volatile, mysterious, distant, abstract–this major group show delivers art that conveys emotion, expressed and experienced.

Patient Heron on the Hunt
I visited Medford this week to try to find some eagles at Mystic Lakes Park since my Facebook memories indicated that we’d seen some there a year ago. Although I did see an eagle in flight from a distance, I spent most of my time watching this heron patiently hunting for its lunch. Over the course of the hour I watched it, this heron did not successfully catch his prey for nearly the whole hour, but I was rewarded just as I was starting to think about giving up the ghost. The heron seemed to enjoy a hearty meal on this beautiful fall day.

Woolly Bear forecast and more — pat morss
Woolly Bear Folklore:
“The longer the woolly bear’s black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. … If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold.” You be the judge. I always wondered if they turned into moths or butterflies. See first two photos.
