Heaven Shall Burn

So life may have further blessed me for not having an uninsured dental X-Ray done for $150 in July (because Medicaid demanded more X-Rays for crowns to get approved but refused to cover the X-Rays and I said, Not today, Satan, I don't need that crown.) I told my dental office that unless I could get a guarantee that Medicaid would approve the crowns if I got the July X-Ray done, I wasn't paying to get an X-ray done. Of course they couldn't guarantee, so.

My dental office called today to say that Medicaid covers a panoramic X-Ray every three years, and I haven't had one done in three years. My dental office swears Medicaid is covering it, and I'm getting it done Monday, with them hoping this will get an affirmative on doing the crown.

See, if I did that X-ray in July (and probably still didn't get permission for the crowns because Medicaid sucks) and then found out today I could get a panoramic done now, I would be pissed. If the panoramic isn't enough to get approval on the crown, at least I didn't have to pay for the frickin' X-ray.

Hopefully the government won't continue to be shutdown for much longer and I won't lose my health coverage too.

Overgrowth at the Mager site in (Lutheran) All Faiths Cemetery. So glad the ground crew took that tree out and knocked down and damaged Irving only for this to be allowed to occur. [/sarcasm] You can see Irving on the ground on the left. Shot 10/27/25.


Irving is still lying on his side on the ground seven months later, so I don't know how much more damage might have been done to him besides what's visible. They removed the broken-off pieces of his wing from the ground though. They're mowing the grass around him.

As a reminder, this is what Irving looked like in better days.

I went to Stop & Shop Thursday specifically for their muffins. Fate said, Nah.

Shot 10/30/25.

The rainstorm had resulted in several massive leaks in the store. I had to walk carefully in some parts of the store because the floor was wet and slippery. The rainstorm also flooded one side of Union Turnpike that I didn't see in the dark until I was right on top of it and had to drive through.
