Last week I had the pleasure of taking the kids to the dentist. This was a first for me since Holly usually takes them but we were able to get through things without any problems.
Emma and Hannah both had no cavities but the dentist found a “small one” on one of Alex’s teeth. I figured that we’d have to bring him back but the dentist just took him into a back room, had him open his mouth, and proceeded to drill out the cavity. The entire process took about three minutes. They didn’t even numb Alex’s mouth! I couldn’t believe what I had seen. Alex was in no pain and he was once again cavity free.

In an effort to further reduce expenses associated with commuting to and from work, I’ve decided to quit my job and become a ward of the state through the glories of the welfare system. Actually, that’s not exactly accurate. What I meant to say is that I’ve started taking UTA’s FrontRunner service to and from the office.
About a month ago, Holly mentioned that Weber State students are able to get free bus passes. These passes also include passage aboard FrontRunner, Utah’s version of a “high speed” commuter train that runs from Ogden to Salt Lake and back again. While I question these alleged high speeds, it does a nice job of getting me to work in about the same amount of time that it would take me to drive. It’s also free for me since I’m a student so it’s really a no lose situation. The only downside is if I miss the train. Waiting on the platform for 30 minutes until the next train arrives isn’t fun.

No, not that kind of gas although if you know me, I can understand why your mind would go there. I’m talking about helium and sulfur hexafluoride. We all know that helium makes balloons float. It also makes your voice sound funny when inhaled. Well so does sulfur hexafluoride only it makes you sound like a demon instead of something… that’s not a demon.
Here we have Adam Savage from Mythbusters inhaling both types of gas with awesome results. If you pay attention, you’ll probably learn something too. Our website is now almost better than some inner-city schools.
