Gotta' move further out of town, Packrat! Because the humidity declined a bit last evening, Kali and I decided to chance a walk after dinner. We still got pretty warm and a bit sweaty, but I got to see two more Common Nighthawks. I thought they had all migrated, but I was (gladly) mistaken!
On a personal note, I think I've got a heart problem--maybe pretty serious. Last weekend, Kali and I were on a 3-mile walk and began to ascend a hill that we have walked up dozens of times. This time, though, as we were half way to the top, I couldn't catch my breath. We slowed down and I made it to the top, but I was out of breath and lightheaded. This scenario repeated itself on the next several hills. I decided to see if it would pass, but even modest exertions now leave me breathless. A call to the doctor is in order, I believe.
Scott, I hope you take care of yourself!
Scott: A call to the doctor is absolutely in order--and don't put it off. I had a similar experience back in 2006, and an angiogram revealed I had severely blocked arteries. I ended up having bypass surgery.
Your symptoms warrant examination; and, who knows, it may be something completely different and not as serious. But you've got to find out.
All the best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
