Another Red Alert Day [Saturday] for us here in the Coastal Bend of Texas!! Predicted 114° [F] heat index! And I got up too late to even think of walking outdoors.

Yesterday I went to a scheduled echo for the neck arteries [carotid ultrasound] as prescribed by my cardiologist. Once done, it doesn't take but 20-30 minutes, and all was clear!!

To walk off some of the calories consumed at lunch, we perused a nearby tourist trap curio shop. I saw this and had to laugh to myself...

I am just now getting these images off my cellphone!! These were spotted at a Birding/Wildlife Refuge in town last month; after heavy rainfall! They're Fiddler Crabs, and the ground was literally crawling with them. [The MALE is the only one with the one large claw -for attracting the female- and the female have two small claws.]
