Correlation between standard of living and health is obvious? Other issues- access? education? ... ?
Levels of flouride in the water?
Number of stills in the back yard?
I was listening to NPR tonight--
Bill McGlaughlin's Exploring Music -- and he was focusing on variations of trios -- and the show was a wonderful blend... fresh and powerful -- One musical piece in particular... a movement from Mark O'Connor's "Appalachian Waltz" -- permormed by the marvelous trio, Yo-Yo Ma on cello, Edgar Meyer on bass, and O'Connor on violin.
-- You know you have a good band when Yo-Yo Ma is the third best musician in the group --
At any rate, before Bill can declare the beauty in the music, he says this horrible thing:
App uh lā sh ē uh
And I'm thinking, Bill ... you need to learn how to pronounce the word because I live here, and that's not it --
App uh la ch'a ... that would be the correct.
...I'll start putting flouride in the water when old Bill learns how to pronounce where I live -- or when I'm down to one tooth.
And those dental statistics are disturbing on many levels, and need to be addressed. Couldn't resist.
I am glad there is a two teeth minimum to leave comments on this blog.
