I\’ll run afoul of the law for a salt and battery if I\’m not careful!

I love salt; and at least one doctor told me to be sure to eat enough of it. My blood pressure

Blood Pressure Monitor

has run low for years; and as a result I was prone to orthostatic hypotension. It hasn\’t entirely gone away, even with medication; and it\’s why I don\’t put my alarm clock on the opposite side of the room from my bed. If I jump up too fast, I go reeling; and that\’s not a good way for me to start my morning. Incidentally, I loathe electric alarm clocks. They sound like fire alarms!

Many of the on-bike foods that I use lean towards the sweet end of the flavor scale. I don\’t object to that; but even my sweet tooth experiences sugar fatigue from time to time. Now that the weather is hot, I\’m experimenting with olives as part of my rolling collation. Salt is helpful when you\’re sweating a lot; and olives sure are salty!

As to battery, I go through quite a lot of those things. My blinkie lights and my alarm clock need them; and many other everyday items use batteries. What bothers me about that is proper disposal of the dead ones. The few toxic-waste drop-offs that I know of aren\’t so easy to reach; and as far as I know, my neighborhood doesn\’t have a toxic waste pick-up service; so what am I to do? I don\’t have time to take dead batteries anywhere, anyhow, if I\’m to get my cooking done; and I mustn\’t forget the salt!

So there you have it — a salt and battery!
