Good morning, assembled Lizard host! I’m back at home after my visit to the ER. There is no evidence of a heart attack but I did have a pretty serious blood pressure event. My cardiologist has ordered the proverbial “more tests” to determine just what is going on, since I take BP meds and my weight is down to nominally healthy levels. I met some nice folks, including an RN from New Zealand. He was delighted that I recognized his accent and knew the difference between NZ and Oz. He also said that folks at home address him like they would a soldier in a war zone when they write. “Be careful!” “Must be horribly dangerous” “Stay safe,” that sort of thing. I don’t think they’re wrong. I see the local nutjobs less like I would an enemy force and more like I would a pack of dangerous animals. Be aware, take some precautions, but also realize that you are dealing with instinctive rather than rationally determined impulses.
