Reminds me that I've been looking for a good Dentist for awhile now, but I'm discouraged by the list of names provided by the Dental Insurance provider. Most are scary names from far away places with accreditation from Dental Schools one might picture in ones mind having dirt floors, and an assortment of very scary looking vice grips.
At one time, we had a local strip mall that was loaded with them, and they became quite a nuisance, albiet a low-key one.
I never drink and drive.
The only time I did was years ago, when an old Ford I had bought for five cents a pound suffered an airconditioning failure in the middle of a horrible heat wave. I was parched and sweating and dehydrated, and on an impulse, since I was only a mile or two from from home, did something terrible, in retrospect. I went into a package store and bought a big can of Foster's and downed it.
I was sitting there somewhat surprised at how drunk it made me feel, when the ugliest woman I had ever seen came up to my window. I saw the Unification Church ID badge, and on an inspiration, jumped out and started screaming, "YES! I will buy your candy when you tell me what you have done with my sister!!!
WHERE IS MY SISTER??? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER??"
She beat a hasty retreat. Some onlookers laughed, some stared.
I got home fine, though, but still feel a bit ashamed.

The Moonies are creepy, creepy, creepy. I know someone that got caught up in that stuff. They actually needed to get “de-programed.”
