So there was a special election a few days ago and Portland voted to reject water fluoridation 60-40 or so. My mom was against fluoride. Also she was kind of into crystals for a while. Also chiropractic stuff but she has scoliosis so I give her a pass on attributing unpleasantness to spinal misalignment.

(Also she was for a while an assistant to Martin Orne, America’s #1 specialist on mind control, Anne Sexton’s therapist, and a player in MK ULTRA. I probably don’t give her enough credit for that.)

I never really bought into the health arguments against fluoride, and did buy into the dental arguments for, but still I voted against it – on mind control grounds I guess. “Since the ‘50s, this has become normal everywhere in America except Portland” strikes me as a pretty good argument against things.

Also, I did the first pull-up of my life yesterday. It was only two or so years ago that I could do real push-ups for the first time, back at the dojo in LA. Give me another year or two and I’ll be ready to ace the President’s Physical Fitness Test for sixth grade.
