NewsReal: Chinese Balloon: It's All About The Optics

Agent Mulder When you make generalizations, you are always wrong. Personally, I don't care what you 'believe'. As for me, I don't 'believe' anything, I go where the evidence leads me. I can see miles and miles and miles of ocean horizon from my kitchen window and the horizon is as flat as the carpenter's level which I hold up to it. Both are flat and level. I don't feel the 1,000 miles per second which we are supposedly traveling in a combo of 4 separation motions. Most basically, I don't believe something just because authority tells me to believe something. Tell us, what personal evidence do you have for the shape of the Earth?

Agent Mulder 👍🏻 good one, Fox !

VooDoo6 - your first and second link are the same and couple that with the 3rd link and all I can type is....

life Did you see Jeff Bozo’s weapon [Link]

Buffalo_Ken They would have if they knew how to aim, Sadly a lost talent since homing missiles became the rage.

Moreover, if intelligence was really worth a shit, they would have simply shot the balloon with some machine gun like bullets to cause pressure release within the balloon and then a steady descent in order to study the contents of said balloon....and what is was holding aloft?

Oldfart - it could be a "homing" missile doesn't create sparks it just goes through the target, but one thing is evident is it not. The us of a is way behind in missile technology and this "show of force" circus act for the dimwits reflect poorly on the us of a in all ways.

I'm glad I'm ready for new times.

Buffalo_Ken I identify as a balloon !

Gator The older I get the more I look like a balloon!

Gator - well then good luck for you because if you get near the coast of the Carolina's some crazy jets might shoot you down!

I myself identify as a Patriot and I play to win and I don't care about balloons after they have already traversed the whole land because I know by then it would have been better to let them go on their way, but I know there are dimwits in DC and I await the day when they are dismissed permanently.

Nonetheless, if I can get to Canada via dirigible I will assuming you give me your word you won't shoot me down on the way!

Gator,

Buffalo_Ken I identify as a balloon !

I think someone has already claimed that identity [Link]

Buffalo_Ken No shooting of ballons et al in Canada !

VooDoo6 yeah Whoopi reminds me of the Hindenberg !

Buffalo_Ken No shooting of ballons et al in Canada !

Come to think of it, that damn balloon (two o's mind ya) flew all over Canada after it went through Alaska and you want my opinion - the us of a took advantage of Russia when Alaska was purchased on a dime.

If balloons of harmful intent can cross all over Canada and then go to Montana on the way to North Carolina and then literally be about 10 miles or so away from me (how high did the balloon get? - maybe 12 miles high), then it just goes to show - North America is a land with dimwit elitist who need to learn a hard lesson about survival.

Gator - I could give a flip about Hollywood. Eff em all the ones who ascribe to that way of living and pushing all their propaganda upon the masses - they have some serious debts to pay.

VooDoo6 yeah Whoopi reminds me of the Hindenberg !

Cheers !

Buffalo_Ken And Hollywood is part of the US problem. All war movies are, is the US against some made up bad guy. Americans actually believe that tripe. Looks good on the screen but reality is completely different.

Most Americans don't/wont believe their arses were handed to them by a group of peasant Rice farmers armed with nothing but RPGs and AKs in Vietnam. I must digress, Now that was self satisfying. Actually something very similar in Afghanistan. Beaten by a group of cave dwelling warriors, But lets forgive the USA for losing in Afghanistan as No invader has ever got out of that country in one piece. But then again you shouldnt have been there in the first place. I actually feel a bit sorry for you guys. The system is too deeply ingrained and is set up to never let Joe Citizen get a leg up. That's the way its going to be until the whole shit show collapses or we all go up in an atomic flash. I sadly feel the latter rather than the former is in our not to distant future.

Oldfart Unless the purpose of such wars isn't to "win". The purpose seems to be profit for the MIC, souls for Baezelbub, and more divisive vitriol generated back home.

We never fought Vietnam to win. It was impossible without directly confronting China, which we could have done but chose not to.

Oldfart - Dear Sir who resides in Australia, land of the penal colony I reckon, you are correct. My father in law, toughest man besides my own father I've ever known in my life so far spent the day in the hospital today, and I say that not seeking pity, but that man was there in Vietnam and he knows better than you I reckon and better than me for sure all the harm caused by that foolish attempt to assert will against forces stronger. I'm happy to say he has been released from his stay, his detention, and I suggested to the family not to even admit him to the hospital because the Medical Establishment is not to be trusted and this is proven.

One would think lessons would eventually be learned, but old farts (yourself excepted in my book based upon our discourse) seem to be full of ego and unable to learn. I reckon death beckons for them. For other old farts, maybe they will be helpful because wisdom is called for.

Good riddance to old ideas wrong - it is time for something better and patience wears thin and then old ideas die. Let them die. Old ideas of harm have no pathway other than the path of nowhere.

So, friend, I hope you are ready, and when I ride the train I'll be thinking about old farts who have wisdom because lately, they seem in short supply. That is why I am glad I have gotten to meet you even if only online, because not all old farts are married to their ego, but many are, and they seem to think war is the only solution - oh how wrong they are. I intend on proving this without doubt - one way or the other....and think about it, if I'm wrong, who will tell me my proof was incorrect?

Ken

VooDoo6 oh man, i'm still recovering from the woopie balloon !!

VooDoo6 oh man, i'm still recovering from the woopie balloon !!

DeliciousTears good grief man !!! 10 colleagues in a month !!!

DeliciousTears That is a lot in such a small social circle. So we have really no idea how damaging the vax is on full scale.

A high percentage of my coworkers had a visit to a cardiologist, I know because each said it inadvertently to me individually. Each thinks only they have a problem and are not aware that they are not alone.

life It's a big company and it's not unusual to have a few die every year. I've been there 20+ years and have never seen this kind of carnage.

DeliciousTears - this is why it is so important that remedy is found sooner rather than later because to lose all the wisdom of the elders spells the end of humanity and that is not anything a one of us would want seems obvious, so now maybe they realize all the harm they have tried to push upon us is only going to be reflected back on them with indignity resolute and indomitable?

I mean if you try to harm something inviolate do you not realize that the harm will reflect back upon you with will fearsome?

DeliciousTears i hope your career is a positive experience for you DT, and that you are able to retire someday in good health without unnecessary financial worry; cheers !

DeliciousTears Geez, that is a lot of sorrow to take in, I have difficulty finding words of consolation, after so many deaths in such a short period of time.

Even though they are not family, they are people with lives and family. We only read/hear about the ones that have reached a media presence.

But many more unnamed. unheard voices are suffering everyday. babies, toddlers, children, teens, preteens, and adults.

All suffering from this travesty committed against humanity, for the most diabolical reason...Pure Unadulterated Greed. It is a disease, of the mind body and soul.

Joan Thanks for sharing your experience, are you OK, it must be a heavy psychological burden, given all the crap of the past 2 going on 3 years

Take care of yourself and family in these troubled times.

Buffalo_Ken I am afraid it is almost late. A lot of wisdom of the elders has been lost, in many technical and even metaphysical spheres of life.

Buffalo_Ken But can you come up with a single viable target? All I see are useful puppets. Granted they need to hang as well, but this will solve nothing.

There is some kind of great evil that exists to periodically exploit and murder humanity en masse. These purges require a kind of buy-in or acceptance from those culled for some reason I can't quite figure out. Soldiers, even if drafted, are still killing and being killed out of a certain degree of free will.

The only difference is Big Harma used a needle this time instead dropping bombs. The sheep lined up, often under terrible coercive threats, they still stuck out their arms... Doctors who knew better remained silent and often murdered patients themselves...

DeliciousTears - you need to get with the game.

There are better ideas out there and stop crying.

For example, did you know that if you plant a seed it might grow into something to feed your family.......just because harm and war was all that many have known, and delicious tears of sadness this all created, doesn't mean it has to be this way forever and that seems to be the biggest flaw of those in the generation preceded me - they seem determined to be fateful in harm and war, but little do they know about better ideas, so get a clue for your own sake, but if that is beyond your ken, then get out of the way because better ideas, ideas with merit, been around a long time, are demanding attention now being there are some who want to depopulate us all because they evidently don't have a clue about what it means to love one another.

Joan For those not familiar not with English satire, presented at the time, it was based on a TV show called "Master mind' or some such nonsense, where university students, the up and coming great minds, were challenged with the great questions of general knowledge.

A satire on the intellectual ability of those in power to lead.

parzival hi ya parz !

i think the world has been fooled again, people ought to wonder about not what the media is telling us, but about " who " is telling us.

there is an article published by the Guardian three years ago that outlines the pentagon's plans to mass test high altitude surveillance balloons. (i don't have the link, sorry)

what happens to balloons in REALLY cold air - this guy tells us [Link]
the US DoD will make sure it's not found / shown, or they'll show bs wreckage like they did at the pentagon on nine one one.

life Hey ho Life! Thanks for the link and a moment to ponder. I don't trust any gubbermint! Psyop city! Next it'll be aliens... Best to you & loved ones!

parzival thanks man and right back atcha !!! 😊

life - so are you saying it wasn't a "weather balloon"? And if so, begs the question, why "they" (whoever the eff they are) let it traverse the whole effing land and flew literally right over my head before they goofily blew it out of the sky?

~

You know in the stratosphere, the upper atmosphere, all sorts of weird shit is happening, but whether it is weird or "man-made" remains to be determined I reckon. As evidence of that, consider this image above the Antartica just now.

High Regards to life ,

Ken

Buffalo_Ken hi ya Ken !

really i can not be 100% accurate as i don't have the remains of the balloon to analyze but i can sort through all the little pieces of the puzzle including visual, technical, social, political, psychological - and observe who says what, why, where etc... and i also listen to my intuition - then mentally spread this mess out onto the kitchen table and see what fits where.

humour set aside you're absolutely correct about "all sort of weird shit happening" up there and down here and separating the shit from the shinola isn't easy.

a buddy of mine sent me an email with a photo from the Guardian paper written three years ago; it mentioned high altitude surveillance balloons that were being tested by the DoD, and we know the WEFfers are keen on gathering every bit of intel from inside and outside of a person's body.

another thing people have perhaps forgotten about is the number of times the msm showed aircraft smashing into the buildings on 911.

what is the media doing here with the balloons? same thing ? are they programming people with visual, audible, electronic, and psychological stimulation over and over and over so that the sheep believe without question ?

thank you for that interesting link; zooming in and rotating the globe really gives a neat perspective on wind currents, wow !

looking at that i imagined for several moments that the link wasn't showing wind movement but rather people's conscious perceptions of present reality - i wondered if the number of people, following whatever "suggestions - eg news, education, social network, various dogma, etc " as presented to them by the "programmers of society - gov't, corp's, church, msm, tech ", would create a similar graphical representation illustrating flow density, direction, and velocity - the majority of wind currents appeared to have massive flow, following the same path. hmmm.

cheers Ken, hoping you and family are healthy and warm !

life - shinola supposedly is a "brand of boot polish", but I'll read the rest of your comment..and something tells me there is more to that definition thaN what might be read literally. That is why discernment, you know a talent lacking in so many these days......it is in high demand.

Now let me tell you something real. I used to post comments at the " Consortium News " website, but I gave up on that a couple years ago. But, just presently, the headline there is Roger Waters speaking to a group of delegates and it touched me, so I figured - hells-bells I'll post again.....but sadly, apparently my posts are not allowed there....that is the choice of the editors I reckon, but I refuse to be a 2nd class citizen, so I took the hard copy books they sent me after a non-trivial contribution financially that I made.....and they are burning presently in the fire pit. Not out of spite, but rather out of indignation for anybody tries to tell me I got nothing to contribute.

If you don't want me to contribute I think, why should I want any books you sent me after a contribution made fairly.

I think the whole balloon incident is a big huge pathetic joke on all of america, but just now folks in Turkey are suffering by supposedly an act of God.

Moreover, I'm gonna go back and check the data from previous years regarding the wind flows up in the stratosphere around the Antartica place (the "south" pole), and see if this is a repeating phenomena or just something different happening now.

~

Yours Truly,

Ken

ps - come to think of it, just lately they only started advertising to me their articles, and to think, they would do that and still not let me comment. Eff them and let the books or Robert Parry burn for all I care - nothing new to learn there I reckon.

Buffalo_Ken that's Consortium News loss Ken, and yes mr. Waters won't let media lies flow under the memory bridge.

i feel it's time for a break, to step back from commenting; the super cold weather from the previous weeks has passed so i'll spend more time outdoors to recharge my batteries.

that shinola thing, nah nothing hidden there, was just a comparison and a phrase my dad used to use; i have eluded to things in other comments or replies to people - usually to ignite curiosity and nothing unfriendly.

however, i understand about burning those books - have done it too, and have, after a short period, noticed the light from the fire shone on some new corner inside my ol knoggin; funny how introspection works, eh. 😊

cheers !

life - yes indeed. Your wisdom is appreciated by me. It has been for a long time. Plus, we all need a sense of humor, because without that, I'm pretty sure we all will lose touch with what matters most.

Your friend,

Ken

Buffalo_Ken hey Ken, i read something this evening that reminded me of our chat earlier today. doesn't relate to anything particularly, it just resonated so thought i'd share; i have to paraphrase because i didn't save the link but in went something like this: our path in this world isn't a straight line, it's more like a fibonacci spiral, because we often return to things we thought we understood but now we see the deeper meaning from a changed perspective.

thank you Ken, i appreciate the opportunity to converse with like minded people such as yourself; i don't know about wise, though my wife occasionally comments i'm a wise-ass.

cheers friend !

JTF Truth Yeh! takes a1000 years or more years of diplomacy and history, despite , Western influence.

In the history of time, the US is a child, only digging its toes into diplomacy, and yet they think they have it branded to the world as 'Freedom and Democracy'

And is nothing more than corporate geed morphed into fascism at this time.

Jason Someone should have told him to stick a pin in it.

Niall - in my book anybody tries to make an "enemy" out of somebody I don't even know - I don't trust em.

Niall Is there any definitive proof anywhere that a bomb laden balloon when exploded and its resultant EMP effect will shut thousands of miles of electrical grid? Is it speculation based upon extrapolation? I don't know...

BlackCartouche ...or sit on a tack.

Dwoods44 Interesting speculations... Further speculations [Link]

Dwoods44 Just as an aside, after Operation Warp Speed, I washed my hands of anything to do with Trump, especially since he will never admit he was wrong.

parzival You can find the same here @ goo tube: [Link]

parzival i listened to clif for almost two years; haven't paid much attention for several months after his rant about the chumbawumba asteroid (or whatever it was called) and how it was responsible for coffid - that sealed the case for me; last night i listened to ~ 5 min of "twist yer noodle" then shut it off. maybe i missed something, but something feels way off with mr pure sleep.

imo at some point, sooner or later, any positive information source becomes compromised by whatever or whomever; as above so below.

cheers parz !

life I listen to him or read some of his substack submissions for novelty...,

parzival 👍🏻

you ever read anything written by Matthew Delooze ?

life No I haven't. What do you suggest?

parzival i read this paper [Link] - i remember the hit accident like it was yesterday and my gut feeling about the incident, but it didn't know why - so i read this paper and thought hmmm that's an interesting take.

this was the other site that has some of the papers he wrote, [Link]
i then read the three books he wrote (you can find on amazon); although he's repetitive he has wit and a style that is all his - he makes no apologies for his grammar and spelling which i thought was interesting as many reviews, unfortunately, dismiss the significance of the material because of reader inflated ego (ie grammar nazi's). overall i have to give him credit for research, interest, material content, and character.

cheers

life Thank you. I'll be happy to check out your links & start reading Matthew Delooze.

life - nice.

bookmarked and thanks.

Ken

Buffalo_Ken & Buffalo_Ken cheers lads !! 😊

life - double cheers I reckon.

I particularly appreciated when you said this:

he makes no apologies for his grammar and spelling

Hey - check out this postmodernist conversation here on Substack which seems to be the place all good authors got something to share are gravitating towards - the beauty of the place as even Seymour Hersh acknowledged is it is where folks go to get good info....and better yet, when those participating comment and the author of the article participates in the conversation - this is improvement in communication and if they try to "monetize" it, it will lose its value.

meme attack of the agenda - Rays the alarm (substack.com)

Here is a clue if you care:

eo;; - will

just one letter off on the keyboard....in one direction excepting typos and such...

Buffalo_Ken the other was for the parzmeister LOL

i think i may have gone temporarily blind decoding that but yeah and typos weren't a big deal.

if i read between the lines on the meme page i think i understand the gist of your message:

" we must always be willing to truly consider evidence that contradicts our beliefs, and admit the possibility that we may be wrong ".

awesome Ken ! thanks for sharing !!!

life - hey thanks!

I'm glad you interpreted that because I got halfway through and got sort of disgusted with my own typos and then I forgot what I typed one finger off.....typos and all.

Buffalo_Ken - ok, a literal translation of this - one finger off typing - for the sake of life :

cp,r ,udyrtord s;esud; eo;; nr. niy dp,ryj yjomhd str rboffmy smf er lmpe smf dpttu gpt smu yu[pd#x

xome mysteries alwaysl will be. but so someth things are eviddnt and we know and sorry for any typos@z.

For the sake of accuracy and whatnot.

I should add, that I was the one who typed it, but when I knew there were 4 letters/terms/textdigits in the first word, but the translation had but two letters....well, it suggested to me I should go back and try again, but in general I agree with the translation life already made....but again, for the sake of accuracy of a stickler when it comes to translation.

Ken

Buffalo_Ken - ps - I already know my translation is off a bit...but it is closer to what was typed one finger off...

I don't feel like figuring it out just now, but the evidence is in and...

WE KNOW

Buffalo_Ken 👍🏻 yup !

UHM – Naming the Venetian Black Nobility

behind the Rolling Stones [Link]
12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones (a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles.

It’s not mentioned here, but the Rolling Stones were created from the same source and with the same purpose. Beatles were supposed to be the “good guys” while the Rolling Stones were the “bad guys”. Also, Rolling Stones were experts in creating repeating “riffs”, meaning a musical phrase that’s looping over and over again (like in “Satisfaction”, “Jumping Jack Flash” etc.). These repeating riffs trigger the mind and make one receptive to whatever sub-message you want to transfer into the minds of the listener. In the case of the Rolling Stones we have satanic messages in their lyrics, and they have repeated that over and over through the years (a more recent example is the ”Bridge To Babylon” album)

“The Rolling Stones were mastered by a Order of Malta member by the name of Prince Rupert Loewenstein who sponsored the ‘ Sympathy for the Devil ‘ track back in 1968. This Prince was also a member of the very powerful Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St George which is close in power to the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, both being higher than the Order of Malta. His son is Prince Konrad Loewenstein who is a high level Byzantine Rite priest based at the Roman Catholic church of Chiesa di San Simon Piccolo in Venice. You will notice the House of Loewenstein also has connections to the House of Rosenberg which is an offshoot scion from the powerful House of Orsini. Let’s not forget how I gave you all the connection of the powerful Borghese based house of Aldobrandini who are named after the highly occultic Aldebaran closely connected with the important Pleiades. Now go and listen to the Rolling Stones track called ‘ 2000 Thousand Light Years from Home ‘ from the ‘ Satanic Majesties Request ‘ written by Rupert’s boy Mick Jagger. This song is all about the Aldebaran .“

The Manufactured Invention of the Beatles, Stones, Grateful Dead and the Birth of Rock n’ Roll by the Tavistock Institute; A Jesuit Corporation. [Link]
“It was called the “British Invasion” . The 60’s began a time of “question authority”, grow your hair long, hippies and flower power and morphed in with the Anti War gang of “hell no we won’t go!”All by design, all by planning to mind control and manipulate what the Baby Boomer (Doomer) generation thought, the language and slang used and the behavior control of the masses.Yes, it is interesting to note that the Tavistock Institute of Human Relation, as well as, it’s child organization: The Stanford Research Institute, developed The Grateful Dead, among other things.You can see that Alan Trist, a social engineer for the Tavistock Institute, became the shadow manager of the Dead. His father, Eric Trist, was one of the principle founding members of Tavistock.It was part of the development of a dynamic psychological warfare model to be used on foreign and domestic populations, modeled, ultimately, on the Lord Gordon Riots in London and the Jacobin Terror of the French Revolution. The purpose was to mobilize mobs in ideological opposition to the state, as a mass destabilization operation.”

Namaste’

parzival - the last mass destabilization operation I was involved in did not end well. I refuse to participate now.

So, it is nice to be in wave circular seeming like the ride of a lifetime, but we all know not all waves are predictable.

All rides come to an end and time moves on endlessly...

like water flowing over a waterfall

parzival fabulous pzv🥰

LindaMay I like the journey into the golden light!

LindaMay If you'd like check out this thread with RC and HFL and Delicious Tears one and only comment near the end of the thread that is classic!

parzival yikes, 2 in there that dont interest me do I still visit the page?

DeliciousTears your fault lol

DeliciousTears you calls it likes you sees it...

LindaMay DeliciousTears ...you guys...

LindaMay you visit if you'd like to share in remembering our friend...

parzival I did the calling

LindaMay He had nothing but the best intentions...

parzival I'm 61 no dentures 😁 à la natural

LindaMay I'll be 65 and not an artificial tooth in my head...

parzival Really? Wow. Impressive.

DeliciousTears Sarcasm? It becomes you...

parzival No, serious... 65 and you have all your original live teeth?

DeliciousTears Yes, really! Inherited great teeth from my German mother and her side...

parzival Thanks for reposting. Wokism is insanity.

DeliciousTears Yes, really! Inherited great teeth from my German mother and her side...

parzival - I suspect you had "baby teeth", so a literalist would say - those were the original teeth you had, but you don't have them anymore. Oh boy, I remember the Tooth Fairy.....we would put our teeth under the pillow and in the morning coins would be there instead. I'm not sure that was a fair deal, but it was exciting for a kid!

Typically, after the coins were acquired, we went to the 5 and dime store to buy some candy!



Ken

Buffalo_Ken Yep me too Ken. Went to the Rexall which was like a 5 & dime. Sometimes I'd save up those coins to buy a classic comics that would be filled with stories about ancients like the Greeks and Egyptians...

Dwoods44 Wokism is the un-ultimate mind phuck...

parzival Not really... it's just too absurd. It's a complete clown world only double digit IQ's could possibly believe....

Now... 9/11.... there was an elaborate mind phuck!

DeliciousTears That's why I use a play on words such as un-ultimate...

DeliciousTears "Woke culture, devoid of class consciousness and a commitment to stand with the oppressed, is another tool in the arsenal of the imperial state." [Link]

VooDoo6 I missed this, thanks for the link.

parzival Thanks for the link.

Buffalo_Ken Yep me too Ken. Went to the Rexall which was like a 5 & dime. Sometimes I'd save up those coins to buy a classic comics that would be filled with stories about ancients like the Greeks and Egyptians...

parzival - don't tell anybody, but this is how it went down. When I was a kid we went to a dentist, in fact later in life I was there the day Elvis died, but as a youngster this dentist just loved pulling teeth out - more than one at a time. I didn't mind cause he shot me up and I didn't feel a thing ( I was a tough kid....ha, ha - until I wasn't I reckon...but i digress )....plus, I knew, the more teeth under the pillow, the more coins the Tooth Fairy would leave.....assuming I'd basically been well-behaved.

So, I took it when that dentist pulled the teeth out of my mouth, the baby ones, and I made sure I got them in my possession because even at a young age I knew - if you you don't have the goods, you don't get the coins under the pillow......

So, after the coins were delivered and I'm sure I slept through it all, in the morning the coins were there and then I went and found my good pal - Cricket was his name - and he and I walked a few blocks to the 5 & dime. There were two very old, very, very old kind ladies who worked there and they loved when we came into the store - I suspect they trusted me, but they kept a close eye on Cricket. Anyhow, he and I would go purchase some candy and maybe other things fair and square using the coins the tooth fairy traded me for my teeth - and all I can say is it was an adventure every time!



Ken

Buffalo_Ken Reads/Sounds like a lot of fun in those days... Thanks for sharing that. Those baby teeth I was busy pulling out of my own head. Never had the dentist involved. Of course it was one or two at a time then, certainly not a whole mouthful!

parzival - he was actually a good dentist with good will - plus, sometimes the Tooth Fairy pays more depending on the number of teeth placed under the pillow.

it is good I think for kids to feel pain sometimes, and so lesson learned.

And, I'm not kidding, I was in his office the day Elvis died. August 16 I think it was - 1977.

Buffalo_Ken I was 19 then Ken. By that time all my original (milk) teeth were gone for a good 11 years..

parzival - but no denying you don't have your original live teeth. So, I suppose the "literalist" wins in the end?



I don't mind a bit of pain if the Tooth Fairy has an award waiting for me.....

I've got good teeth as well - all intact as far as I know - besides the "wisdom teeth" got taken out.....

A couple weeks ago the dentist wanted to do some "exploratory digging" in one of my teeth, and after thinking about, I said - no thanks.

You got good dentist and ones not so talented - I don't mind my dentist, but I didn't understand why instead of figuring out the "root cause" he just wanted to dig out an old cavity to see what he would find....and I ain't got no dental insurance anymore, so after giving it some consideration, I decided - my dentist must not be an engineer knows how to solve problems - rather.....he just is in it for the mullah I reckon....

If the tooth starts hurting again, I might change my tune, but I didn't think his plan of action made any sense, and being I pay for the services I cancelled the appointment, and probably need to find a better dentist.

Best to you - times are getting real serious - do you sense it?

I do.

Ken

ps - here....have a Heath bar...

Buffalo_Ken Heath bar, haven't had one of those in a while! Funny thing about 'wisdom teeth' for some folks they are a devil to remove. For me, I have a genetic change/flaw, although I wouldn't call it a flaw. Turns out my mouth isn't deep enough for wisdom teeth. Don't have a one. I guess I'm lucky I reckon.

A good dentist is a golden thing. Smart choice to not have him play around in your mouth. It might be a better choice later to find a new one.

Serious? That's still over the horizon. I don't think we've seen serious yet. There's definitely sumpthin' in the wind as my ole friend Snuffy Smith would say.

You take care too Ken! A beer toast to you and yours!

P
