Lost a filling last fall, appointment to replace it is in March. Just noticed I lost another one.

Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde: To lose one filling may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness

Two cats, both on a bed strewn with blankets, one of which appears to be a large picture of baked beans such as one might receive as a white elephant gift. The cats are curled up in almost the exact same position and are sleeping

CHUCK AT WHITE HOUSE β€” Punxsutawney's famed groundhog, the seer of seers,
revealed here this morning that he recently spent a week as a guest of the First
Family in the White House in Washingtonβ€”and had this picture to prove it. The
Chuck reported the Kennedy clan has adopted a "vigorous policy" in favor of ground-
hog lore. Incidentally, this morning's shadow was blacker than usual, portending
another six weeks of severe winter weather.
