Presidents Day – Goodbye to a president…

lobiondo-afbf2016-stallman-lastspeech_0503This year’s American Farm Bureau Convention is over.  5 days and over 75000 steps (my phone kept track)! Also, a new president.  Bob Stallman has been president for 16 years.  His office was in DC but his rice and cattle farm is in Texas.  I’m sure he’s logged many miles over the 16 years representing American farmers around the world.  In my experience, he’s a humble man with a quick smile.  This image is from his last speech during a standing ovation.  But time moves on.  The new president is a farmer from Georgia named Zippy.  Yes, I love the southerners and their nicknames.  But for now, here’s to Bob.  I hope he gets some well deserved rest.

You recognize these stoic “bird like” contraptions.  These things probe our ears, noses, and throats, and when standing alone, look like proud storks checking the way of the wind. Healthcare Photography takes me not only to the doctors who help us but to the equipment they use to check us out.  The Otoscope is “an instrument designed for visual examination of the eardrum and the passage of the outer ear, typically having a light and a set of lenses.” (see webster).

Oh, and a doctor.  Don’t want to forget he’s here, too!
