Or, in Guerneville’s case, maybe the crank.  Hell, it’s all good.

Pink lady apples.  Thanks, Cathy Mosbrucker.  Yeah, that’s right, spell-check.  Mosbrucker.

Dang! Looks like just drinking a lot of water before your UA won’t actually mask your THC use.  But what if one were to bang a spike of Creatinine (whatever that is) first? Visit www.sdrl.com/times.html!

Weird-Ass Street Sculpture

IMG_6436

On Mission St near 9th.  The fact that this piece is just down the block from the pot club seems to be instructive. Plaster gauze (?) over raffia (?), painted. 

Tentacles, anyone?

Implant Prep

Teeth xray pano_0002

Getting to be implant time.  Maybe two!  X-ray by Jed at Dal Santo Dental Surgery.  Thanks to Mary & Ramona for their generosity in kickstarting this project.

Chair Repair

First Ray, then Ruthie have had their way with the arm of my chair.  It had gotten unreasonable.

I went to Michael’s, got some leather scraps and heavy duty spray adhesive.  Ta-daa!

Now Ruthie has a new scratching post thing that she works out on (when she doesn’t feel like laying waste to our Afghani rugs).

Outside Kaiser Physical Therapy

Outside Kaiser Physical Therapy_0004

2/7/12 Just a touch of tendinitis or maybe some carpal tunnel, or perhaps it’s double-crush which might not even exist or whatever.  But I’ve moved the mouse to the left side of the keyboard, I’m icing and doing my nerve glides, and things seem to be on the mend.
