Hold still for the zap
Based on what I can hear it’s a windy evening. I’m not going outside to check because I don’t need to move around that much. Anyhow we had a day in this city. More precisely a day at the local hospital where I go from time to time for my eyes. Because I want to keep track of these things, I’ll use this as a place to document what happened.

Currently, it summers around 9 and he would like to see things a little lower. All very subjective. But with the promise that I could come back in a couple of weeks for another look, alone another laser, we returned home. Everyone is talking about snow tires right now.

We will be because we have no long range travel plans until the new shoes are in place. Also, winter starts slowly, and we should not have any big accumulation until after the holiday season. Still a long way off. And, back home, I returned my usual place to do the usual things. No sudden improvement in my eyesight but the doctor assured me that all those holds would not give me a perforated remove as wanted section. It’s a doctor thing I guess.
