Posted in the Staff Lavatory at the Methadone Clinic
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
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?

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
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.
Medicaire Back Pillo.

Dream
First morning of my 60th year. The broken tooth looked like a hazelnut, and the roots were numerous, smalland pink, more like root-hairs.
Crumbling Teeth:
Crumbling teeth dreams means our fear of getting old. When you watch anything crumbling what image do you have of it? Our dream symbols act as metaphors so when you see your teeth suddenly crumbling it hits at your age and how you perceive yourself. Nobody wants to get old that why dreams of this nature have such a profound effect on us at a later age. These types of dreams are not something you should be alarmed about. You may just want to come to terms with getting older. http://www.dreamdictionary.org/common/teeth-dreams/
…continuing with the Memento Mori theme, here’s a steelhead who has spawned and died…
La!
