That voice inside your head.

Fried up some dumplings for lunch.

While eating them had a crown come lose.

Crap.

Go to kitchen sink to rinse it off and while standing there think to myself this is a bad idea. Would suck if I dropped it down the garbage disposal. I should go into the bathroom.

Just then, I dropped it, right down the garbage disposal.

I hate it when that happens.

From the same line of thought. When you are either flying down a hill on the mountain bike or on a steep climb and you see something you need to avoid. For some unknown reason the bike heads right for the obstacle....

Well known phenomenon - "target fixation."

Always look where you want to go, not what you're trying to avoid.

Just because the voices in your head aren't real doesn't mean that they don't have some good ideas once in a while

as long as the disposal wasn't running it should be easy to retrieve the crown.

+100

Surely you did not have the disposal running. Pull off the rubber part at the top and use a flashlight to see the crown. It should be sitting on top of the blade plate.

Did ya think you could just pop it back in and super glue it down? I think you need to go to the dentist anyway. I came loose for a reason. Go to the Dental Depot! They have the absolute most beautiful hygienists there. The model train that makes a loop around the offices is cool as well. I love the Dental Depot!

I did squeeze my hand in and retrieve it. I just HATE, HATE, HATE sticking my hand in the disposal. Creeps me out.

Mike,

DD is my dentist. It's back in and will stay till I get there. I like the trains, they are cool.

See those town houses near the new deal on 407 near there? They look pretty nice - I have thought about buying one as an investment rental. The location is stupid good!

My Insurance agent just moved his office over there.

Will be interesting to see how it finishes out.
