"There They Are!...Those Regrowing...And Regrouping...Plaque Germs...Mounting An...Offensive Against The Mouth...That...I Am Sworn...To Protect!...That Is...

...Not Happening...On My Watch!"...
















































































"The Machines...

against the Microbes!...

I'm glad that...

I have a

Front Row Seat 

For This Battle!"

"There's 

So Much

Morbidity and Mortality

going on these Days!...

It Seems like the

Forces of the

Microbial World...'

are trying to Conquer

Our Forces 

in the 'Macrobial World!...

but I know that...

in the End...

The Best One's gonna Win!







































































"Be Aware of

which ways the Winds blow

...to...

...Stay Prepared!"

"We are waiting in line to

get the

Veneers that

Our Dentist promised us!"

"So now...

You say You want Some!"

"Be careful about 

how

'Hot and Spicy' 

you want Things!"


























































































"I'd like a ' Dentexa Guy'

to 

help with My Mouth

...but...

He would have to

Be Gentle!"

You and Your

'I just got a Stimulus Check!...

...Hip Hip Hooray!'

Smiles  

are

asking...

"Is that It?"

This 

'Okay, I'll see if I can

trust this Machine in

My Mouth'

Episode 

is 

brought to you by

an

AI Chip!

































































I just lost My Health Insurance and

I really don't want

to Fail

by breaking an arm

or a leg 

or

getting Sick!

Stay safe, People!...

...And HSR!...

But We all know that

this might be difficult for Him!

...Just see 'The Haps'

during

"Stop Cursing!...And...Go Wash Your Mouth Out ...  

...With Soap!...Right Now!...

and 

previous to that,

"A Gay Dentist, A Straight Dentist, And A 



"Nonbinary" Dentist Are Sitting At A Bar...And...! Part 1.

and

way before that

in

In My Dreams...I Was Just Smiling And Walking In The Park One Day...And You 



Wouldn't Believe What I Saw...! Part 3.

AND THERE,

ALL HSR

WANTS TO DO IS

BE A 'SORT OF'

REAL

SWASHBUCKLING

PIRATE

AND FIND A GOOD MAP

AND MAYBE

DISCOVER SOME

REAL GOLD NUGGETS

AND

REAL GOLD COINS,

BUT,

HE DOESN'T LIKE THE REAL

SCARY SHIPS 

THAT

CUT QUICKLY 

THROUGH THE WATER

AND 

HE DOESN'T 

WANT TO

DEAL WITH 

SEA GHOSTS 

AND 

GET INTO

BLOODY FIGHTS...

BUT HE WOULDN'T MIND 

GETTING TO KNOW A 

PRETTY 

LADY PIRATE

THAT'S WORTH HER SALT,

AND KNOWS HER WAY AROUND 

A 

COMPASS 

AND A MAP!...

SO,

ONE DAY,

HSR ORDERS A CANOPY RAFT

AND HAS IT SHIPPED 

TO WHERE HE 

WANTS TO START

HIS SWASHBUCKLING 

JOURNEY...

...AT THE SMALL 

PACIFIC OCEAN ISLAND OF 

TAPIWA,

AND

HE REMEMBERS 

A FRIEND IN 

HIGH SCHOOL THAT 

LOVED THE BEACH 

BUT

ALWAYS REFUSED TO 

EVEN 

PUT HER FOOT

IN THE WATER!...

AND,

HE ALSO REMEMBERS

A 

DENTAL PATIENT,

AND,

WHILE GETTING READY TO 

SAIL OFF INTO THE WILD BLUE

YONDER,

SOME OF THE LOCALS GIVE 

HSR A "GOODLUCK" CEREMONIAL 

DANCE THAT MADE

HSR THINK REAL HARD

ABOUT MAYBE 

MAYBE 

STAYING

AT TAPIWA!

OH MY!...

GOSH!

SO, AFTER A WHILE 

HSR CALMS DOWN...

A COUPLE OF THE LADIES

TAKE HSR ASIDE

AND PRIVATELY,

BOTH OF THEM 

GIVE HSR SOME

"COME-BACK-SOON-AND-BE-OUR-KING"

SMOOCHES!

AND THEY HAND TO 

HIM SOME HAIRS

AND

THIS ONE SAYS,

"PLEASE KEEP THESE 

WITH YOU 

AT ALL TIMES!...

...SO THAT THE

"FORCES OF THE SEA" 

WILL PROTECT YOU 

ON THE JOURNEY 

THAT 

YOU FEEL THAT

YOU MUST TAKE!

SO 

THE LADIES 

SEND HIM OFF 

AND SAY 

"ALOHA!"

...

NOW,

WITH ALL OF THESE 

GOOD FEELINGS,

HSR IS JUST

OUT OF HIS MIND!

NOW,

HSR GIVES PRAISES TO 

THE GREAT MAN UPSTAIRS!...

AND THEN 

HE SETS SAIL

WITH HIS

GPS HANDY, 

BUT,

THE WEATHER GETS ROUGH 

AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS

AT SEA,

AND JUST BEFORE ALMOST

DROWNING,

HE IS PLUCKED 

OUT OF THE SEA BY

SOME GREEDY AND HUNGRY

WOMEN ON AN ISLAND!

AND AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS...

THE TIRED AND 

ALMOST EMACIATED HSR

SEES A SHIP 

OFF OF THE COAST 

AND HE

WANTS TO LEAVE SO BAD

THAT

MAKES A SWIM FOR IT!...

AND 

HE MEETS A WOMAN CAPTAIN

WHO HAS BEEN BLOWN OFF COURSE,

BUT 

THEY DECIDE TO SAIL ON,

AND 

AFTER SOME DAYS OF 

SNORKELING AND 

SUCH,

THEY 

DECIDE TO RELAX AND 

GO DIVING TO 

DO SOME MORE 

UNDERWATER

RESEARCH FOR HER UNIVERSITY

DEGREE,

AND THEY

PROBE 

THE CORAL AGAIN

BUT THIS TIME,

HSR IS SEPARATED 

FROM THE CAPTAIN 

AND HER SHIP

BY SOME

EVIL-LOOKING FISH 

THAT HAVE

NO GOOD INTENTIONS!

SO, 

SCARED AND IN A HURRY,

HSR, 

ONCE MORE,

SQUEEZES THE HAIRS THAT THE

TAPIWA LADIES 

GAVE HIM, 

AND,

'WHOA!'...

A SHOCK WAVE 

DISCOMBOBILATES 

AND 

DISORIENTS THE 

KILLER FISH,

WHICH ALLOWS HIM TO, 

VERY FORTUNATELY, 

FIND AN UNDERWATER CAVE!

WHICH HE 

QUICKLY SLITHERS INTO, 

AND 

AFTER SWIMMING SOME MORE,

HE FINDS A 

POSSIBLE WAY OUT!...

SO,

HSR KEEPS GOING, AND...

...YES!

HE REACHES THE SURFACE!

NOW,

HE LOOKS AROUND 

AND HE SEES THAT HE'S ON AN

ATOLL!

"AWW, MAN!," 

SCREAMS HSR,

"NO BODY'S AROUND!...

I JUST HAD TO GO 

AND DO THIS...

...NOW, LOOK AT 

THIS MESS I GOT

MYSELF INTO...AGAIN!"

...

SO,

A DISTRAUGHT HSR, 

WALKS AROUND THE ISLAND

AND...

"WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS!," 

SAYS HSR 

AS A

COUPLE OF TURTLES 

MAKE IT ASHORE!

"WELL, SAYS HSR, 

"IT LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT

BE ON A 'TOM HANKS' DIET!...

...EATING JUST

COCONUTS AND

FISH!"

(IS IT SAYING, "GOT TO EAT?")...

I GUESS I'LL GET GOOD AT 

SPEARFISHING!

SO HE LAYS

'KNOCKED-OUT' ON THE SAND,

SORT OF LIKE 

THIS GUY

AND HE 

STARTS TO DREAM ABOUT

STRANGE 

PLACES, 

AND

ALSO ABOUT 

A 

DARING FRIEND BACK  HOME

BACK HOME,

WHICH MAKES HIM WAKE UP

AND

YEARN FOR BETTER CONDITIONS!...

SO, 

HE WALKS AROUND THE ATOLL

AND

OMG!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!...

...THERE'S AN

OLD PLACE...THAT...

LOOKS LIKE A 'COZY MANSION, '

RIGHT ABOUT NOW,

BUT,

BEFORE HE CAN 

CHECK OUT 

THE PLACE SOME MORE,

SOMEONE BEHIND 

HIM WARNS,

"DON'T TURN AROUND, MISTER!...

AND HANDS UP!...

...THAT'S RIGHT!

NOW...

...VERY SLOWLY...

TURN AROUND!...

...THAT'S RIGHT!'

...

NOW, 

THIS PERSON SAYS,

"WELL,

WILL YOU

LOOK AT WHAT 

THE SEA OTTER

JUST DRAGGED IN!...

..TELL ME, MISTER...

HOW DID YOU 

GET HERE!"

AND HSR SAYS,

"IT'S A LONG STORY...YOU HAVE TIME?"

AND THE LADY SAYS,

"WE'RE ON A LOST AND

DESERTED ISLAND!...ALL

WE HAVE IS TIME!...BUT,

I'LL TELL YOU MY

STORY FIRST, OKAY!"

"OKAY!," AGREES HSR...

"WELL... IT ALL STARTED WHEN

I 

WAS 

SURFING

AT THE PRETTY

ISLAND OF 

TAPIWA, AND THEN, 

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS

HUGE STORM HITS,

AND I HELD

ONTO MY BOARD

FOR DEAR LIFE

AND AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS

JUST DRIFTING,

I SEE THIS PLACE



AND, YES...

I'VE BEEN HERE EVER SINCE!...

AND I WAS

COUNTING THE DAYS,

AND LOOKING FOR A

CRUISE SHIP TO

PASS BY AND SAVE ME,

BUT,

THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET,

AND THEN,

I JUST

STOPPED COUNTING

THE DAYS!"

"WELL," SAYS HSR,

"I STARTED OUT 

ON TAPIWA, TOO...BUT...

I GOT CAUGHT UP IN

SOME ROUGH WEATHER 

A COUPLE OF TIMES!"

"DID YOU COME ACROSS

ANY SHARKS?," 

THE LADY ASKS...

"NAW," SAYS HSR, "BUT, 

I KNOW YOU'VE

SEEN SOME SEA LIFE 

HERE, RIGHT?"

"OH, YES!...I'VE SEEN SEA

LIONS 

AND DOLPHINS

AND THEIR

UNDERWATER

FRIENDS,

AND EVEN

SOME ORCAS!

AND I REALLY 

HAVE HAD 

MY SHARE OF

GORGEOUS SUNSETS!

BUT,

I REALLY MISS MY

COUSIN 

AND 

THE RANCH

AND 

MY BOYFRIEND!...

...SO...YOU SAY THAT YOU

ARE A SAILOR

AND A PIRATE?...

WELL, WHICH ONE ARE YOU...

BECAUSE...

YOU'RE EITHER ONE,

OR THE OTHER...

YOU CAN'T BE BOTH!

AND I KNOW THAT

SAILORS 

GET WHAT THEY CAN TAKE,

AND 

PIRATES 

TAKE WHAT 

THEY CAN GET!...

...BUT... 

I CAN TELL 

THAT 

YOU'RE NOT A ..."

AND JUST THEN,

A LOUD WAVE

CRASHES INTO 

THE ROCKS!

"WELL," SHE SAYS,

"WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT 

LATER!...BUT...

LOOKING AT THE

HORIZON,

I CAN TELL FROM 

MY EXPERIENCE HERE...THAT...

IT'S ABOUT TO RAIN...HARD!...

...SO,

I'M ABOUT TO

GO IN

THE 

'CASTLE!'

I HAVE PLENTY OF

COCONUTS AND FISH!...

YOU'RE WELCOME TO SOME!"...

AND, 

SHE CONTINUES,

"WOULD YOU 

LIKE TO

COME WITH ME!...

THEN,

HSR LOOKS AT 

WHAT'S ABOUT TO

HAPPEN AND SAYS,

"YEAH...LET'S DO IT!"

...

SO 

THEY GO INSIDE 

THE CASTLE....

AND SHE SAYS,

HAVE A SEAT OVER THERE

ON MY

PALM FROND COUCH!...

I'MA GET SOME COCONUT MILK!'

HOWEVER,

WHEN SHE

 TURNS AROUND,

SHE 

SEES AND HEARS

HSR

JUST

'SAWING LOGS!'

"The Earth

is an

Organism,

too!"



















































































































Aah, yes!

Beautiful Teeth

are

So Desired...

and So Important!




Flossing

brushing

and rinsing

are all well and fine...and..

a must to do!






But,

many times,

our days are

full of

many busy activities!

We may take time to interact



with clients,

and hopefully,

happily

interface with

coworkers!

And then, 

there's the driving 

to and from work...

but, 

not like

this!

But, 

this

is okay!

Well,

many times

people are clamoring for

more simple lives!

And they do things and buy things

to help them do just that!

You know,

things to help them out!

That's why we have 

Fast Food, and 

and we use automated car washes!

Just be careful

when you leave!

We are also using

AI to help us

in our lives!

There's

Alexa

and its 

speaker system!

...Slick!

Of course, it helps you

control things around the house!

Now, People...

how about help

with maintaining 

your

"Pretty Little White Ones?"


Well,

that is exactly what

the Creator of this Blog,

Dr. Ralph Winge,

wants to do!


"I am engineering the first

Digital Dental Personal Assistant,

called "Dentexa!"...

which will aid

the owner/user

in maintaining the luster

and cleanness to the teeth

that you're used to!"

Winge relates.


He  continues,

"I want something that will be precise

but not scary




surgery-looking!

And not make



serious mistakes!

A light-as-a-feather

sensitive touch, is also a good attribute!...

...along with being as

nimble as a

Prima Ballerina!"






"Now,

when I call them,



they should

come a-runnin'!"





"And Dentexa should be able to

meet you where you are,

and not only in



a dental chair!"



"Tiny

'Nanobotic' cleaners could be

used and reused

to do the 'Heavy Lifting'

of the cleaning regimen,

and 

when they wear out,

Dentexa can

automatically replace

them

with new ones!"

"Now, Dentexa

needs the

appropriate appendages

for her to do the job,



but she should

also be aesthetic!...

Not Mean-



looking, Okay!"





"Dr. Winge...

according to our Cyber Mouth Map,

we need to clean a little more

on the Lower Right!"

"Sir,

would you like your

Full Mouth Message now?"...

"I'm going to the Amazon Fulfillment Center,

as you ordered, Sir,

to

get some more Enamel Adjuncts!"

"Please duck real quick, Master!...

There are 

Caries trying to

sneak up on you!"

"So the Best 

Digitally-powered

Dental Personal Assistant,"

continues Winge, 

"should have 

Good Manners

programmed 

into them,

and it

should gladly attend 

to my every 

Dental Detail!"

"But..." warns Dr. Winge,

"there's a chance that some

of this AI stuff 

can 

become corrupted and 

"Hatch Their Own

Plans" and may

go 

against us 

one

day!"

"So if Dentexa gets any 

Bright Ideas about

Mutiny and such...

...the proverbial

plug 

or power supply 

will get yanked!"

...

Now...

Dr. Winge

looks at several 

possible Candidates...

And He asks one,

"What's the Most Important 

Mission to You 

as a

possible Dentexa?"

"My Most 

Important Mission is to

scrape off as

much Plaque and Stain

as possible!"

Then Winge asks,

And what if Your Client says "Stop?"

"Well," she reveals,

I should know what's Best

for my Client,

right?"

Then,

He talks to another

A. I. 

Bot,

and She says,

"I will do My Dental Job

very well, but

I just abhor 

Cooking and Cleaning!"

"Getting the Perfect Match

for an

appropriate Dentexa

may take a while!" admits Winge,

"I want her to be

easy on the eyes, 

but...

...I don't want to take 

efficiency

too far!...And...

..for the Ladies,

I'll have to evaluate

a 'Suitable Dentexa'

Bot for Them!"

May you have many...




..."All of this 'Computer Stuff' started

with a need to figure out

trends and to store numbers

and keep track of things

Next, 

we started using the Computer 

to Predict



and even tell us the 

Right Choices to Make!

But...

...I'm going to tell

that 'Mr. A.I.' 

that



I'll use my Own 'Virtual Intelligence,' 

Thank You!"...




..."Believe Me...Our



Future is in the Stars."...




..."So there's some 

'Real Intelligence'

and 

Artificial Intelligence'

and then there's



'Virtual and Second Life Intelligence!"...






..."I think that Artificial Intelligence has

it's Place, and it can

figure things out, but

the 'Big Thing' missing...

is 'Love!'"...

...Smiles!

"I don't need a 

Dentexa or an Alexa...

...Hollywood is My 

Best Dental Advocate...

...and I 

see no reason 

to change!


















































































I'm the first Tooth Fairy in 



the A.I. Realm!"












































































Meanwhile...Back At The Place Where The Sky... 

 ...Is the Limit!...

I'm the Last One of the 

Older Dentexa Models!...  

...Please take Me Home With You!"
