With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate…
It’s hard to follow up a week-end of so many minor disasters. But we’re trying. The van’s AC works, which is good because the windows don’t. But yesterday the fan quit.

Then I felt something funny during dinner. Like, what is that sharp thing floating around my mouth? funny. So it’s off to the dentist on Thursday morning to have a molar spackled or whatever is the cheapest and easiest thing to do. (If I only had a dentist in the family? Wait…I do. Wonder if he could work with a variety of cements and some fifty year-old dental instruments salvaged from my uncle’s garage…)
