![]() Happy Hump Day from Burning Man 2018 in Black Rock Desert. And, I use the term Hump Day in the most innocuous manner possible. Although the #Metoo Movement got through to festival organizers and nearly forced a shutdown of the traditional Orgy Dome, there were plenty of other sites here at the site wherein people can wiggle and giggle. But not Cousin Fred and I…no sir, we ain’t misbehavin’! Actually, we’re something of prisoners here now. Yesterday the Nevada DOT shut down the road that feeds the festival site to repair potholes. Really? They couldn’t do that before the festival started or at worst wait until it ended? Now, festival organizers are having trouble getting ice and port-a-potty services into the grounds. Fascists! Bet they’re taking lessons on inconveniencing people from ODOT, but I’ll save that for another time, another post. For those of you playing along at home…we did hear from Gigi that Cousin Fred’s application as a grower of medical marijuana in Oklahoma has already been approved! I have no idea how we’re going to actually make that happen, but we’ll sort it out if/when we make it back to The Compound. This morning I’m headed over to the Iguana Chill Camp Wigwam to hear a discussion of astrophysics. Supposedly they have a real astrophysicist over there. Why not? It’ll kill some time. But first, I’m headed to the Kentucky Fried Camp for a fried bologna sandwich chased with a shot of Kentucky bourbon (breakfast of champions!). I never see anything of Cousin Fred or Friend Lamont until about 3pm. I’m trying to take in as much as I can. Not likely I’ll ever come back here again. After all, it sounds as though I’ll be farming medical marijuana this time next year. Friend Lamont was complaining of a sore tooth yesterday afternoon. I’ve made a couple of inquiries. Apparently, there is a real dentist at the aid station here. I’ll try to get him over there this afternoon to get it looked at. At least I hope it’s a real dentist, I saw something go across my newsfeed overnight about a woman who has been arrested in Georgia for practicing dentistry without a license. Mugshot is above. And, she’s been doing it for the past six years in both Texas and Georgia. She has even gone so far as to open practices in both states. One of her unwitting “patients” in Texas developed an abscess the size of a tennis ball after she pulled a tooth. Over the time that she’s been playing at being a dentist, she has pulled crowns, applied fillings, replaced crowns, and even prescribed meds. How is that possible you ask? There are officials/regulators in Texas and Georgia trying to figure that out now. When CBS News tracked her down for comment, she reportedly said, “It’s a sad situation.” You think, you bat sh*t crazy idiot? But pressed for an answer as to whether the charges against her - which include 40 counts of practicing without a license, three counts of forging prescriptions, and three counts of insurance fraud – are true, she swears they aren’t and that the DA in Georgia is on some sort of personal vendetta. Uh huh. Prosecutors expect more charges to be brought as more victims come forward. AND, get this…she’s married to a deputy sheriff. WTF? Life is insane enough without having to worry whether your healthcare provider got their training from YouTube videos. Just saying. That is all. Comments are closed.
