I Can Tell It's Summer Because ...

1. More people are Hiking The Appalachian Trail. 

2. More state governors are facing retirement, voluntarily or not.

3. Some people have accomplished #1 and #2 (above) at the same time.

4. In California, school's out.  Including summer school.  4 Evah, possibly.

5. Time to switch to bloom fertilizer.

6. I'm in my second month of radical dentistry.  Ow. Yesterday AND today. Owwww.

7.  My mother, who claims to favor bland nursery food, just made a dinner request of chili cheese dogs with onions and corn on the cob.  (I might be able to gum the cheese, but I'm sticking to liquids.)

Summertime!  Fish are jumping (out of Governor Palin's waders) and Fragile Industries is high (do megadoses of Alleve and Ovaltine count?)  ...

What, chili isn't bland?

Are you going to post before and after teeth shots?

Actually, Mom had second thoughts about her dinner selection late that night. She's back to mashed potatoes and chicken. For one moment, though, I saw the rebel in her.

No teeth portraiture. All the work is on the molars, so no appreciable difference in my smile. This is structural dentistry, not cosmetic. Dr. Dreamy-Mouse would love to give me veneers, but I don't need them, and I think they look like big fake chicklets, the Gary Busey effect.
