My Alternate Health Care Proxy recommends:
I know you're looking forward to being able to walk the neighborhood and take your pictures. I would strongly suggest that you let the winter pass by and begin that next spring. Don't challenge the cold by putting yourself out there and hopefully if you get started in the spring, you'll go through the spring and into the summer, and you'll be in a better position for next winter.
Duly noted. This is the absolute reason why I chose this individual, both my principal and my alternate Health Care Proxies, as they are down-to-earth people and tell it like it is.

New York City winters are no joking matter, as they can be balmy one day, and bitterly cold the next, rainy and windy the following, then there's a blizzard, or worse, a Nor'easter. This upcoming winter season is forecasted to be record-breaking.
I'll be catching up on a lot of reading. As well as use my apartment as a creative Muse.

When I went past this historical haunted house on Catherine Street in Alviso today, I saw a for sale sign in front of it. So later I looked up the real estate website and checked out its listing. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw its value went from $634K in 2011 to almost $1.3 million today. I wonder if the real estate agent would list ghosts as part of its amenities. You can check out its listing here:

We had a little break from the storm this afternoon. So I went out and did some walk during lunch hour. The low hanging clouds above the East Bay hills had presented good photo opportunities.

Damp night in the neighbourhood, the first day of December 2018. The year is coming to its end damn fast...
Taken with my new Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone. Wide-angle lens, default camera app, on full auto mode - this is almost straight out of the camera, no editing except cropping it to cinematic 2.39:1 aspect and some levels tweaking. Not bad for a mid-range phone, I'm sure my old DSLR wouldn't be able to match this image quality, regardless of the lens.
Here's an interesting tidbit of information not many people know about:
The Hell Gate Bridge in New York City, completed in 1917, is known for its steel arch design and was the longest steel arch bridge in the world at the time. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, in Sydney Australia, inspired by the Hell Gate Bridge, was completed in 1932 and is notable for being the widest long-span bridge globally, showcasing a similar arch design

Saw this little red barn at the trail head of Morgan Territory Regional Preserve. Its color is quite outstanding.
Part 3 in an ongoing series of stuff that's in my bag when I travel.

Anyhooooo...this is but a small selection on day 3 in Hongkers (always Hongkers). Up early. Phone calls and Skype home done, all bright eyed and brushy tailed after a second surprisingly good night of sleep. Ready for meetings but still got another hour before I leave so what else to do but shoot this ... enjoy!

Experimenting with devices.
This pack could benefit from some more interesting subjects, but I like the possibilities.
I took a photo of this Victorian house earlier this morning and posted to my social media account in order to showcase the fall colors in our area. Comments from my friends started pouring in. As I applied HDR effect to this photo emphasizing the moody sky, one of my friends helped to add more spooky effect to it. This is the image as a result of our collaboration. I know, we are getting closer to Halloween.
Camera: Google Nexus 6
It as pretty surreal that I had to come to this place to work earlier this week. Next thing you know, I am flying out on one of these planes as shown in this photo.

I 've been told somewhere behind that hill lies the San Andreas fault. There are quite a bit of crazy rock formations in this canyon near the town Mecca, CA. I need to come back here to explore a bit more. We made a short cut through this rugged canyon to the Salton Sea from Joshua Tree NP. The canyon itself is quite unique reminding me of the landscape in Death Valley.
Giulia Cenci
secondary forest
April 2024 – March 2025
Location
On The High Line at 24th Street
Giulia Cenci creates elaborate sculptures and installations by fusing industrial elements and organic forms, arranging them into jarring compositions that invite viewers to question human’s relationship with nature. Cenci’s work features animals, plants, and human appendages cast from melted-down scrap metal, reusing found objects, agricultural tools, old machinery, and car parts. These seemingly disparate elements are then hung, suspended, or pierced together like pieces of meat, morphing into a wild habitat void of hierarchy—where a human bone is treated with the same care as the branch of a tree or a wolf’s face.

Prognosis confirmed 14 days after biopsy, and I've certainly learned a plethora of pertinent information within that short span of time. Plus, I've already established my personal support team. Typically I don't waste time on anything. I just do it. And if I make a mistake, I don't hesitate, as I will fix it along the way. Life is too short to be inefficient.
I've been referred onto an Oncologist (cancer doctor)
I'm not afraid. More so, I'm curious. I've a lot of faith in modern medicine

Got a great deal on Madame Butterfly during its Black Friday sale. It turned out to be a tragic story. But I liked the venue and performance.
Morning walk through Astoria. It felt good. Though I cannot go too far, as my feet and ankles are still afflicted with neuropathy (my feet are both numb and swollen; my ankles swollen). Strange shit. This a direct side effect from the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine. My last cycle was on October 2nd. And the healing will just take time and I am just going to have to be patient. I've no other choice. Morning's are the best time for short walks. And I just have to stick with them, as I am confident that in time they will help.

Shai-Hulud. There is no spoon.
This afternoon I had spoken these words aloud, oblivious to whether anyone was in earshot, just before I ascended this last set of staircases at the Ditmartian Land (Ditmars Blvd) subway station.
Shai-Hulud is from Frank Herbert's novel DUNE. And was the Fremen term for the sandworm of Arrakis, a fictional extraterrestrial creature.
The phrase "there is no spoon" from the movie The Matrix suggests that reality is an illusion and that limitations exist only if we believe in them. It emphasizes the idea that understanding and perception can change our experience of reality.

My chemotherapy treatments, now concluded since early October, afflicted me with CIPN (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), which has left my feet and ankles swollen and numb. I have been working remotely, as well as convalescing. Walking has been extremely challenging for me, and I have been staying home. Though I had begun slowly doing stretching exercises. These next two weeks I am on vacation. For what that's worth. Last week the numbness in my feet changed and moved toward the front of my feet. So now my feet are half numb. I'll take it!
Today had been a milestone, as I was able to ascend the 4 staircases of the nearby elevated subway station, ride the train 4 stops, pick up some meds, get a flu shot and return the same way. Next, I went to the Supermarket, then picked up some deliveries from the Amazon locker in my lobby. After which I needed to walk upstairs to my 4th floor walk-up penthouse apartment. It was certainly all a lot, though it was so worth it, and I felt amazing. It tired me out, though I will rest and push myself again another day soon. Lotta 4's today

In numerology, the number 4 is associated with traits like discipline, punctuality, and practicality. It is often referred to as the "struggling number" due to its connection with persistence and the tendency to face delays in achieving goals.

Apparently Truckers often tie stuffed animals, such as teddy bears, to the front of their trucks for a variety of reasons, many of which are rooted in personal expression and tradition.

Some neighbor in Alamo, CA has a huge backyard filled with statues of animals like this. This particular sheep caught my attention as it looked comical, not that I would want to own one like this for my sleeping aid.
I may still be convalescing from the CIPN (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), though that should in no way imply I'm miserable, as several friends have mentioned how I must be. I'm not, actually, in any sense of that word. It is healing if not very, very slowly. A snails pace might probably be faster. LOL. It is what it is and I will get past this.

A Widow for One Year
~ by John Irving
I've read this novel several times, it's that good, though this is my first experience listening to it via Audible
- -
Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character--a "difficult" woman. By no means is she conventionally "nice," but she will never be forgotten.
Ruth's story is told in three parts, each focusing on a crucial time in her life. When we first meet her--on Long Island, in the summer of 1958--Ruth is only four.
The second window into Ruth's life opens in the fall of 1990, when Ruth is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgment in men, for good reason.
A Widow for One Year closes in the autumn of 1995, when Ruth Cole is a forty-one-year-old widow and mother. She's about to fall in love for the first time.
