Thursday

As a kid in the 50's, I had several teeth filled without anesthetic. The drill in those days used a belt which connected it to the motor via a series of pulleys. The arm of that chair had permanent indentations from my griping hands.

It's much better these days. My only trepidation in going to the dentist now is the bill which I will receive.
