the_rckToday’s frustrating news is that apparently my ability to brush my teeth has deteriorated noticeably. I got a lecture about how I was obviously leaving plaque at the gumline. I’m also apparently doing things with my jaw that the joint ought not allow. I hadn’t realized that shifting which teeth connect fully wasn’t supposed to be an any time I want to process. Some configurations are less natural. That is, it’s easier to get the molars on the right to meet than the ones on the left.
After I left the dentist, I walked for a couple of hours and visited a park I hadn’t been to in a while. I submitted some locations as possible Ingress portals and captured some uniques. When I started getting tired, I walked to Washtenaw because the #4 comes frequently, every 15 minutes. There are already streets blocked off for Art Fair, so most buses are detoured, but they still all go to the transit center near the library. I got off the bus near Totoro and had a late lunch. Then I walked more.
Totoro was emptier than I expected, even given that it was near 2. The manager told me that they lose a lot of business during Art Fair. That surprised me because I had always heard how much local businesses benefit from Art Fair. She said that they don’t get tourists coming in and that the regulars stay away because Totoro is hard to get to through the crowds. She also says that various businesses have petitioned, as a group, for rescheduling Art Fair and have been told that it can’t be done because the artists follow set itineraries. None of them could come a different week because they’re already committed to fairs elsewhere.
I need to remember to tell them no soup the next time I get carry out for Cordelia. It always leaks. I need to carry the bag for blocks, and I can’t keep everything flat. Apparently miso soup doesn’t stain, so there’s that. (At least, I can’t see a stain on the shirt I was wearing.
It rained hard enough this evening that there was deep water on some streets in town. I didn’t think it had come down that hard, but I wasn’t looking, just listening. Our neighborhood is at the top of a hill, so I don’t think about this as an issue. Scott said FB had pictures of city buses in water deep enough to cover their wheels.
