Cryotherapy

Spotted this posted in an empty storefront as I went about my day today.  The web site shown on the poster does not appear to be active, but this description of cryotherapy from another spa sounds pretty awful:
“Therapeutic exposure of the entire body to extremely low temperature for up to 3 minutes duration.  Body surface is cooled by vaporized liquid nitrogen that surrounds the body at temperature between -190 to- 256 F. During this process a systemic anti-inflammatory response is triggered that reduces inflamation, improves circulation, boosts body’s metabolic rate and invigorates the mind.”

Alfredo

This is Alfredo.  One of my tasks today was to hang out with him and give him some love.  He was difficult to photograph, since he was pretty much right next to me most of the time; he’s lonely in the FIV room.  And no, that’s not a trick of the camera; his eyes are two different colors.
