The Pine Lake Fire Truck

Back in the day, Pine Lake had its own volunteer fire department, let by Ernest Harrelson. This is the venerable fire truck. It was stations in front of the clubhouse.

Standardization


When I say the United States is a country without values, I mean it in a nice way.

I'm not referring to morals, at least in a biblical sense, but to a certain business ethic-- that of standardization.

Our business community is severely lacking in any sense of providing a stable, unchanging product to consumers.

We're a country with a proud history of breaking boundaries, but must that mean the things I buy must constantly be changing? Is that really helping?

Dentists

When I moved to Atlanta in 1989 my co-workers sent me to Thomas Price on Lawrenceville Highway, near North Dekalb Mall. He's been my dentist for more than twenty years, and I've been more than happy with him.

This year, after more than twenty years with the same provider, my dental insurance has switched to a new company-- and Dr. Price isn't on the network. That means I'm shopping for a new dentist.

On the Pine Lake Announcement list I asked for recommendations for another dentist, and I got a wealth of names. I'm listing them all below and will add a Dentistry section to the Services page of this blog (Just click Services on the top tab).
