While my tooth wasn't worse yesterday it certainly wasn't any better, so in the afternoon I'd called Terry's dentist to see about making an appointment.  While I had hoped for an appointment later this week, the first opening is a week from Thursday - and then not even with her dentist but another one in the practice (who she doesn't know.)  I did take the appointment, but should things get worse I guess I'll be calling other dentists in Salida.

Elinor showed me her favorite bird guide book yesterday (already forget the title...) and she also recommended one on nests that sounds wonderful.
