Never really got into George Thorogood. Now, I know to some, that’s blasphemy, but ol’ George just never did it for me. I’ll accept that I’m in the minority and learn to live with it.

This wonderful and very well written article reminded me of when I had big problems with teeth, cavities and
pain, yellow and ugly teeth, then I found a simple way to rebuild my
teeth and gums and get rid of tooth decay.

A driver who allegedly set his car to autopilot and then took a nap as it broke the speed limit on a rural Canadian highway has been charged with dangerous driving, police said.
The incident took place near the town of Ponoka in Alberta province, the local force said in a tweet on Thursday.
“The car appeared to be self-driving, travelling over 140 km/h with both front seats completely reclined & occupants appeared to be asleep,” it said.
According to Canadian public broadcaster CBC, the car was an electric Tesla model set to autopilot and the man charged was 20 years old.
The speed limit on that section of the highway is 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph), it added. Police Sergeant Darrin Turnbull told CBC that he was “speechless” and had not seen such a case in his two-decade career—”but of course the technology wasn’t there.”
“Nobody was looking out the windshield to see where the car was going,” he said.
So how did they pull it over?
