I understand your temptation to go for the cute title, Roz, but as you no doubt know, Lafayette is 22 miles away from Baghdad-by-the-Bay and about as different a place as it gets: climate, demographics, and political leanings, for instance. I’d hate for those unfamiliar with the area to confuse the two! Bay Area residents are notoriously territorial. (Don’t even get me started on Alameda where I lived for 30+ years.)

I’m glad Mr. Toothy was rescued. I went for the implant, myself. I’d be afraid I’d swallow the darn thing and choke on it.
