Today Julias got braces put on his top teeth. The first thing is this extremely cool X-ray machine. It takes eight seconds and goes all the way around his face and then they have a bunch of X-ray pictures to choose from. The orthodontist says it's very low radiation as well.
Then a bunch of macro pictures of his teeth. The camera has an interesting flash white box contraption which is the white ring around the lens. No shadows that way. They also use a wide flat metal mirror to get the right angles.
And then glue and brackets and and the wire held on by elastics. The wire is doing all the work trying to get itself back to its nice smooth straight curve. Nickel titanium.
I said to Julias, "We've forgotten the crackers, Grommit!"
Later Eva and I went to Cinecenta with my mom.
And right outside by the bike parking and metered parking is a set of bike tools and three stands for holding your bike frame up while you work on it and air hose for tire filling. It's brilliant.
And the other brilliant thing is a good climbing tree.
The good branches go way up.
