Today, I return from my first visit with our new dentist in our new town, and I am sent home with a welcome kit (containing not only dentist-type stuff, but a very trick hydration bottle and a cell phone emergency backup battery pack), a bottle of water (tendered as I sat in the dental chair) and a bottle of local wine. (Turns out that one of the co-founding dentists in the clinic owns a local winery.)
Later, I walk to my workspace, noting that this is just another in a succession of days when the temp has exceeded 100 degrees.
