#today is watching and writing and drinking cofffee at this wonderful little Cambodian place down our street. Right out there is the busy street. In here it’s like serenity and peace. They know my order now. So I just show up. Say hello in Khmer. Take over a table.

Lately I had some issues with a tooth. Then the gum got infected so back I went to our dentist. He was adamant we would not pay. I got some meds. Getting them here is different. He writes the order in Khmer and my wife goes and gets. Then she pays. I got antibiotics and some anti inflammatory stuff happy to say it kicked some ass.

Meanwhile I will just walk. See you soon.

Bot which posts a section from a Project Gutenberg book which happens to mention the current date, and links to the book, surfacing all kinds of curious old writing you never knew existed.

[“The current date” of course may not quite match your date, because timezones.]
