Seyed Alavi: Stoplight Utility Boxes and other public art, medical report

The pre-trip medical update: THB is feeling fine, now on a lower dose of  prednisone, has started a once-a-week course of methotrexate (immune-suppressant), able to walk a couple of miles at a decent pace, doing the 5 minute calisthenics program (not enough arm strength to do the 7 minute version yet). 

Side effects: THB is getting maybe 5+ hours of sleep a night, so napping during the day, and eating more than usual (true!). Can't drink on metho days (like not eating meat on Fridays?). 

Rheumy is going to e-mail with the latest lab results, which could mean upping the metho and possibly lowering the prednisone. Since statins are not in THB's future, possibly new meds (that are in use now with statins) or a Ornish style diet? TBD for THB...

Now for the real post:


Seyed Alavi works with local students to place vinyl decals on the 24 (or is it 25?) stoplight utility boxes in Emeryville; some of the following have been redone recently
