Invisalign with Yertle - September

-
Tray 21 of 21 is complete! The hard part is over but the process continues on.  On this dentist all the attachments were sanded down until my teeth were smooth. No more puncture pain for a few weeks.  Tooth #14 never moved. It looks really left behind and a refinement series (and attachments again) are needed to push out wayward #14. I have a more visible overbite than when I started and that needs correcting. All the of the teeth look pretty well aligned up until the front.

After three more sets of the purple oozy impression molds, the dentist was satified that they had good prints. What a relief because sitting there with that in your mouth for 60 seconds feels like 60 minutes! Then a batch of photographs of the interior and exterior of all your teeth. After that, Tray 21 was popped back in and will stay in my mouth day and night for the next 3-4 weeks until both the refinement trays come in and my dentist returns from vacation.

That means 3 weeks where I can eat like normal and not worry about food getting stuck on attachments and not having to rush back asap to floss and brush before popping the tray back in. Still have to do all that but without the attachment complication, it's much easier!

Enjoy Yertle's colorful buffet! Next update in October!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

-
Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
