The cranes, trucks, and tractors continue to eradicate the old Joe's restaurant building to the core. Now that the building's gone, they are like digging a hole in its place. It sounds like World War II when I wake up every morning, because the machines sound like tanks. A lot of building and destroying is being done this winter in Athens.

Yesterday, I bought mouth wash antiseptic and floss to get to work with my newly diagnosed gum disease. I also caught two episodes of The Next Generation with an old bud. I have learned that if you only accept yes or no, you are not going to risk getting a no answer. And that love is magic. I owe Riker for that one.
