If you follow this blog you know I’ve been hitting up every hot springs within 400 miles lately, trying to ease my lower back pain. I left Lava Hot Springs the other morning after two days of soaking in 112° mineral water, and my back was still killing me. When I got home I showered, drove down to the clinic, announced myself as a walkin, flashed my hardly ever used Medicare card and 30 minutes later I had a doctor refer me to physical therapy at Cottonwood Corner. Two hours later a great new therapist named Bret was working on me, and PT is underway.
Unfortunately, I have to work next week. I agreed to cover a vacationing Rexburg driver when my supervisor asked me to, back in April, and I’m committed to it. So, if you run into me in Rexburg next week, don’t ask me how I’m doing, because you may not get the polite response you expect…
btw: I was driving by Palisades Reservoir on the way to Lava and I spotted a large bird flying along the coastline in the same direction I was going. I was doing 55 and I could barely get ahead of him. Twice I pulled over trying to get a photo but by the time I got out of my truck, he had flown on by!
Determined, I hit the gas and shot up the coast for a couple of minutes. I came upon an open spot in the tress, jumped out, and caught him on a short video clip. I’ve tripled it up for your consumption and I have no idea what kind of bird this is.
