Concerning clocks............

I'm on Medicare and have a Blue Cross advantage plan and am subjected to the typical BS associated with both of those.
I only go to my primary once about every three years and just don't participate with any of the stupid games. He initially
seemed to have an issue with that but managed to get past it. Maybe when I get really old and feebler I'll play along.
Doc mildly complains about my irregular visit schedule but still takes my money and if he says much I just ask him
if he'd like to go for a nice easy 20 mile run with me or maybe a 90 minute 30 mile bike ride.....calms him right down.
I tell him I'll call if I wake up dead some day.

i always have to do a "mental health assessment" for each appointment, either online or in person when I show up. One or more questions refer to depression. I always answer "yes" to some degree. I then answer, what sane person is NOT depressed by the current state of the world!

I've had a telephone pole in my front yard for 20 years. Hated it the whole time. This spring I turned it in to a sun dial with a clay pigeon and a daffodil on every hour. Now I'm adding a calendar with a daffodil once a month 5 pm on the 5th of May. Next at 6pm on the 6th of June.....

There is something wrong with the Roman numerals on that clock. I'll let others figure out what it is. Bonus points for describing the reason.

Possibly because the photos is basackwards.

I don't go to the Doctor, I don't like arrogance and they tend to just be pill pushers. I haven't been to a Doctor in 3yrs. I gave up on going to the doctor when all they wanted was to shove another pill at me or argue or get mad if I said no I don't want an xray because If you can't read it I aint taking it. Because then you will have another person send me another bill after I pay your bill. Or for instance I got 4 stitches cost 3582.00 or got a physical cost 1110.00 . It is a racket a money racket.

Uh, no it's not.

But it's proof that time conversion on a Roman numeral clock requires an extra step as it confuses the brain, if the XII is not in the 12:00 orientation. Another mental agility test.

I thank God for my Prikmary Care Physician (PCP) who detected something wrong early on and sent me to a urologist. Turned out to be prostrate cancer. After treatments, I'm cancer free. That saved my life for more years to live.

And again he detected something wrong, and referred me to a cardiologist. Replaced a faulty heart valve for more years to live.

Sure, its been at some cost to me, thank God for insurance, but I'm here now posting this. Without doctors, its likely I would not be.

Top clock reads 11:04; watch 11:14.

The second is not a watch, it is an anniversary clock, wind it once a year, when they work, and dont break the ribbon, is why most now are on batteries. The romans on the wheely neat cwock, are radially deployed, vs noon-orientation, and no more wrong than a californian rolex with mixed arabic and roman. Its just different, and i forget, dodge or arby's, "and different is good"
