Carl goes to the dentist / Clifford is trying to get LW to do something to put LW on the map. Val suggested a year-round bible camp. People listened with a deepening silence. Carl Krepsbach's business is really picking up. He is unable to take care of the people as rapidly as he is needed. He was working on his sister Eloise's house. Two of his customers tracked him down. Carl was driving down the road talking to himself about his ungrateful customer's when he chomped down and chipped a tooth. It hurt something terrible. Dr. Newt stopped practicing in LW so Carl drove to St. Cloud to the Lakewood Dental Clinic, which is open 7 days a week.. They gave him Novocain and nitrous oxide and popular music on earphones. The lady dentist and her assistant talked about their boy friends while Carl nearly drowned in the dentist's chair. As Carl drove carefully home, he thought about life in shopping malls and parking lots living with strangers. You would have to work all of the time to pay for things that you buy because no one loves you.
