I didn’t notice there was a bee on one of the ironweed blossoms until I was processing the photo. His little trousers are packed with pollen!

Rainbow
Poke Berries
Canna Lily Seed Pods
I love the way poke berries form a rainbow as they ripen.
Temporarily Crowned
I got a temporary crown this morning. The permanent one should be ready in a couple of weeks, but the first Friday appointment they had was on 9/11. I’m not superstitious. Much.
Now, if the Novocaine would just wear off. She had to give me a second dose because that tooth was really, really sensitive, and even then, I could still feel her working on it. It didn’t hurt, but it felt uncomfortable. I don’t want to imagine what it would’ve felt like if I hadn’t had the second shot.
Facebook is Creepy
I am so uncool that I have never had a MySpace account, and only just now set up one for Facebook. I’m generally ambivalent about social networking sites. I just don’t tend to utilize them very well, so why bother? But I was invited to join FB, so I did. Aieee! The last step? It gives you a list of folks you might want to friend. What does it draw on to create this list?! I am totally and completely creeped out by it. It listed folks I’ve never interacted with online, but whom I know in real life. Family members with different last names. People I’ve interacted with in other fora, but using different email addresses. People I do not know, but judging from their names (not the same as mine!), may be distantly related to.
Srsly, srsly creeped out here. I realize that there is deep data mining and traffic tracking going on, but somehow, this seems more invasive than I would’ve expected.
