. Where are all of the party conventions we’re
supposed to have this month? This is
August tenth already and Biden still hasn’t picked his vice presidential nominee. We can only assume it will be a woman and
probably a black woman. Both the
evenings and the mornings are getting darker now. The days are getting shorter.
The Perseus meteor shower is coming up in a couple of days. Mid August is the anniversary of Woodstock. People are obsessed with school and they have
been for weeks now but even the earliest dates seem to center around the
eighteenth. Even by that recent
standard this is early. Now there is
talk about canceling the entire NCAA football season and that would be a drag
all the way around.
LA county accounted for most of the deaths in the LA area starting out in March and April. Then it dropped to half and now it's less than half. Also as far as new cases of the COVED 19 virus goes LA county accounted for most of the deaths in the early days. Now it's way less than half. This is information just released today. Now let's try and publish this thing.
. Thus new post thing is too strange. They say they'll let us have our old format till September. I would like to go back to that if possible. Below is changes in going to the dentist on Friday.
. The call came to get my ride a little after two when I was to hook up with Joselyn. More time was expended though as she had things that needed tidying up. I smoked another cigarette. Finally we were in the van rolling out those gates on into freedom. They are finally building abuilding there on that empty lot west of their office. The first thing you notice was the air smelled more disinfected. Next you saw there were only a few seats in there and no couches and there were no magazines. Then I signed a form allowing for the Crown to be done. I was having the usual problems with writing with my finger. I was called into the office almost immediately. I was given latex gloves to wear I wore the full length of time I was in the office. I was also given another mask but it fell on the floor and was disgarded. Before starting, I was instructed to rinse with a glass of hydrogen peroxide and swoosh it in my mouth a minute or two. She said it might not taste too good but that problem was minimal. The next thing you noticed was some big plastic tube thing and some motor. Work began almost immediately. They didn’t waste time. She deliberately used less Novocain because she didn’t want me walking around with a numb tongue forever. There were a few painful points. Work proceded rather quickly. I was surprised at how soon they were ready for the dental impression. Soon after this I excused myself to go to the bathroom. There was a lot of drilling on the substitute. But when she placed it in it clearly wasn’t the permanent crown, They finished that up at a quarter to four. The appointment had begun right at two thirty. Then they did the dental cleaning. Dr Bui said they would only do what had already beessen approved by the board. I looked in the mirror at the over-sized crown. It was twenty aftI er four and Joselyn was already waiting to whisk me home. They were having street construction on Magnolia coming home we took Brookhurst back in time for dinner. We had a large hot dog and mustard and onions. We had a pasta salad I left mostly. We had red fruited Jell-O for dessert. I had to go to my room to use the bathroom one more time. I just hope they use strong enough glue. The next appointment is Monday August 24th.
