Out damned amalgam
The deed is done. The dentist in Cambridge (NZ, not England) removed all the old amalgam fillings this past Friday - the theory being that they were possibly causing me to have mercury poisoning which has caused some of my symptoms - I know this is controversial but I feel I have little to lose and possibly some to gain by doing this. The weather has been - no rain, so we get frost, which killed the plant Emily had grown from seed that we transplanted to the raised bed about two weeks ago - she took it very well. She is getting better on the violin. Joseph was in a chess tournament and got two byes and a forefit and two draws so got some prize money for his games total. Carrie and I are off to Sydney next month. Had to get the coolant changed in the BMW - cost about 96 dollars. I thought the opening ceremony of the Olympics was incredible - how do you put that in perspective of the repressive government of China? We are getting a lot of tv coverage of the Olympics here and NZ is proud of its excellent rowers. The USA is doing pretty well, too. The tax man has begun to take bites out of our income - for our house and for the local government - they charge for rubbish pickup but not yet for water useage. We pay the electric bill separately. We hope all is well with all our readers, and appreciate past comments.
