Getting ready to go off to Mom's for the next three days. She is going to bridge this afternoon so that will give me a bit of a break. Already got the lunches fixed through Thursday:

Sister was going to take me to the casino today for all the work I did while she was tied up with her husband. I backed out of it so I could take Mom to bridge and after reading the next article decided home is safer than the casino:

In the updates on Sunday DR said that she had her semi-annual dental cleaning. I'm kind of guessing that the featured one in the following article should schedule an appointment sometime soon:

QUOTES
The author of yesterday's quote was Carter Heyward. "Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals." Was said by a key figure in the American civil rights movement, worked for many years for the YWCA, and also headed the National Council of Negro Women for more than 50 years. This American administrator, educator, and social activist was born in 1912 and died in 2010. The musical stage play If THIS HAT COULD TALK, based on her memoirs OPEN WIDE THE FREDOM GATES, debuted in 2005. It showcases her unique perspective on the civil rights movement and details many of the behind-the-scenes figures and mentors who shaped her life, including Mary McLeod Bethune and Eleanor Roosevelt.

An impressive bratwurst indeed! It would be interesting to see it going from the grinder into its casing. Maybe.
They must have funny-looking casinos in Nebraska. Or funny-looking police stations.
Yes, I'd have to agree that after 7 million years, those beaver teeth could probably use a good cleaning.
Hi Pat
I'd like to see it go from the grinder to the casing!
The only thing I can think of is that both the police station and the casino have a lot of lights.
Seven million years is about the space I like between dental appointments.

I can't imagine a brat that size and am not sure I'd want a piece of it, but glad to hear it raised money for a good cause.
The guy trying to gamble at the police station... not sure if that's too funny or too sad. How smashed do you have to be to mistake a cop shop for a casino?
Like you, Bill, I'd go for about 7 million years between dental app'ts, but I learned the hard way that even going seven years can be a Bad Thing.
Hi DR
I'm not sure I'd want a piece of brat that size either but since it was for charity I'd try it if it woould help.
I go with sad but funny. The guy obviously has a drinking problem which is sad but confusing a casino for a police station is kind of funny. The irony is maybe not that he has been arrested he will get help.
OK, I will make my dental appointment.
Bill
