Went to the local “Fresh Market” (upscale hipster grocery store) as they’ve had milk pretty consistently and plenty of meat. Used the geezer hours because I can. Got some free range/grass fed/no drugs chicken breasts as the wife wanted some and three gallons of skim. A handful of people in the place.
Had my morning cold beverage and realized one of my teeth seemed unusually sensitive to the cold beverage. Ran the tongue over the affected tooth and found it to be very, very rough. Dang. Either an old filling fell out or a tooth cracked. Called my dentist buddy, he’s getting me in this afternoon. He said I’ll have to run the gauntlet of questions, thermometers, “Where were you on the night of..??” etc., etc. -D > On Mar 26, 2020, at 11:58 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I went to geezer hour at the grocery on Monday morning 6A-7A.
