Ever use one of these?
Early in the frosty morn, I’m going to get up, take a bus to the hospital and have a chest x-ray.
Or I won’t. It’s a walk-in clinic so I’m under no obligation if it’s really frosty. But my doctor suggested it on account of I’m in Week 9 of the Hacking Cough.
I’m not too worried. I was such a heavy smoker for such a long time, I always hang on to coughs weeks after the virus has gone. Takes me forever to get my stamina back.
I’m thinking of asking Santa for one of these, charmingly called an incentive spirometer. You blow on the thing and up go the balls, I gather. It’s for lung rehab. Doctors sometimes send pneumonia patients home with them to recoup some lung function.
Now is the time when the old people talk about their operations.

Spotted on the road
I’m torn on this one. On the one hand, you remember the name. On the other, Googling it is fraught and you’d surely lose the prude custom.
Not my pic. I saw the van twice today and didn’t have a camera ready either time. It’s from their Facebook page.
If you think it’s a Brit humor thing, there’s also one in Louisville, Kentucky.
Not to be outdone, there is Cold, Hard Nipples Air Conditioning in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Kentucky and Cyprus have more of a need for this kind of thing, obvsly.
