“Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices — just recognize them.” – Edward R. Murrow<\/p>\n
My dental hygienist told me I had an “open contact” between two back teeth.\u00a0 When I questioned her on this seeming oxymoron she replied with a giggle, “I don’t know.\u00a0 We just always say that.”<\/p>\n
Mesial drift is a term I learned the last time I visited the dentist (over a year ago.\u00a0 I missed my last appt.\u00a0 Bad boy.).\u00a0 It seems as we get older our teeth drift toward the middle of our jaw.\u00a0 My hunch is that it comes from increasing brain size squeezing the outer jaw further apart, but I might be wrong about that.\u00a0 When Dr. Mahler, my new dentist since the old dentist decided to hit the links full time, came in he told me it was also because those teeth have nothing to stop them from drifting apart.\u00a0 Guess where it is not happening?\u00a0 On the right side where I still have my wisdom teeth.\u00a0 Get it?<\/p>\n
George Carlin would nod and say, see, if he drove along France Avenue.\u00a0 Before Centennial plaza, where Dr. Mahler grinds on, there used to be a space, then the Dayton’s Home Store.\u00a0 Many changes later it is now the Macy’s Home Store.\u00a0 The open contact between Centennial Plaza has a filling.\u00a0 It is a very large two story store, The Container Store.\u00a0 If Nicole, the dental hygienist has it right, this is a very large where you can buy stuff in which to store your stuff.\u00a0 In the First Book of George the Prophet we have his famous dialogue on just this topic.<\/p>\n
Before I sign off here, a comment on the Edward Murrow quote.\u00a0 I fully agree with him and in that agreement recognize my own racism, sexism, classism and agism. I would go further than Murrow though to this:\u00a0 We must recognize them and choose not to act on them.\u00a0 Easier said than done, but the great project of any age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
