When the thermometer hits 90 and unless you’re at the beach or a pool, it is prime time for the mind to roam once more and consider all the things that could use some improving.
At least this is what I do albeit with one stipulation: air-conditioned spaces must be available for the mind to roam and seek continuous improvement.
Spaces that are air-conditioned lend themselves to completing work on the computer in a comfortable fashion.
They also can lead to long naps–which typically are a comfortable endeavor to engage in as well.
Anyway, with all this said, and due to some recent unexpected influences, I give you the things I’d like to see summer edition.
1) 3-D printers that can print out crowns. This is a must, especially after being told my old gold crown is no longer viable. It was reapplied six years ago after a root canal re-treatment and it was on for the 10 years prior to that. So, you could say it was a good run all considered, although a root canal through the original crown needed to be done after the dentist who installed the original crown abruptly retired and I had to see a new one on a, “Take me in now as this thing is freaking killing me” basis. I never really liked the way it felt after the original dentist completed it for me. And now my choices are pretty much what they would have been six years ago: a) Get another (new crown for the tooth considered very worn…evidently a piece broke off at the distal or in/on the distal area–I don’t remember exactly what my current dentist said about this as I go brain dead when my mouth is open for extended periods–crazy, I know)…a new crown will cost upwards of $1,500 and may not last very long; b) Get a dental implant–thread a steel screw into my jaw bone and connect the pseudo tooth ($4,500). No, thank you. The 3D printer should make the crown cost more reasonable and then you pay just labor (like some auto repair shops that agree to perform repairs if you provide parts). Dentistry remains archaic, torturous, expensive, time-consuming and in need of serious modernization.
2) A cease and desist order on all attempts in the Atlantic baseball league to test computer umpires–especially ones that call balls and strikes. Part of the reason baseball purists like me even go to games anymore is for the chance to boo the umpire after they make what I think is a bad call against my team–including their calls on balls and strikes from behind home plate. Booing umpires is part of the overall entertainment value of going to any ballgame. You don’t have to be profane. Just a simple, extended, “Booooooooooooooooo!” at the appropriate time will suffice. It’s fun and the umpires are trained to expect it. If not, they should be. And, I really don’t envision anyone booing the computer. I’ve heard of people smashing their computers but I haven’t heard of anyone that boos them.
3) Booing computers. Read the last sentence of the paragraph above. I maybe could see someone going, “Boooooooooooooooooo!” after a computer sends a message about a restart being necessary in order to install some updates. Just go boooooooooooooooo and then click on restart. Might be fun. Might end up being a thing. But, it probably would only be entertaining if you worked in an office somewhere downtown instead of a work from home setup. This is because if you work from home there is no one to hear the annoying boo when you do it.
4) A neighborhood watch that tells time.
There you have it. I could go on and on but that would serve no purpose as people spend on average no more than five minutes reading any of this blog’s posts and it’s also time for my afternoon nap featuring my temporarily re-attached gold crown.
Besides, most all good things must come to an end.
Boo.
