Saw my dentist this morning for teeth cleaning and I was relieved that he did it instead of the hygeniest who scraped and pushed so hard the last time, that I was nearly ill by the time I left the office. Must go back next month however to have a filling re-done and a chipped tooth repaired.

Say now, the State of Montana has what I believe is the right idea in combating the low wage/big box stores such as Wal-Mart. Maybe this will catch on in other areas if it works in that State.

It has been announced now that SBC Park in San Francisco will host the 2007 Major League All Star game. There were apparently two reasons why it has taken this long to host the game. One is that attendance has been high with Barry Bonds on the roster but he retires at the end of the 2006 season when his contract expires. Also, the original personal seat licenses at the park will be up for renewal so they want to hype the seat renewal and the All Star Game in 2007. Certainly the home run derby the day prior to the game should be interesting in that park. In the meantime the new older players on the roster look interesting so the Giants could have a good year if everyone stays healthy. Also, Bonds will have only two more chances for a World Series Ring provided he does not get caught up in the Jose Canseco steroid scandal. What an idiot (Canseco) whether you believe him or not! Babe Ruth did not need steroids to hit a lot of home runs so why should anyone else?
