    One of my favorite Backcountry Web sites is "Blind Pig and the Acorn," where I can listen to mountain music while reading about Appalachian folkways and folklore. Today on "Blind Pig," folk remedies for "What To Do For A Toothache." One of the remedies: "hold liquor in the mouth for several minutes - then swallow." Sounds like it's worth a shot. Or maybe a double shot. Heck, I could learn to like a toothache . . . .
