Haines His Way

Got my two other Camp Classics boxes from amazon (had a lovely gift coupon, so that both sets cost me exactly $3.08.  

I guess this is what happens when there are get-togethers.  Slow news days.

I unbandaged the three toes.  Two of them don't look so bad, but one had quite a bit of dried blood and it looks like I may have done a little damage to the toenail, although nothing major.  I've bathed the foot, put some Neosporum on the cuts and rebandaged two of the toes - the third, the small toe, seems to be okay.

Also glad.

How exciting for HHW to have opening nights on both ends of the west coast - broken legs to DRs Cason and George!

Nice that the toe situation is better than expected

DP Colin and I watched "The holiday" last night.  Why did they make it.  Why did we watch it? Why does Ms Diaz get work? Did Ms Winslett need the money?

I'm glad to hear your toes seem to be ok, BK.

Yes, back "On Your Toes", so to speak!

It too a bit longer than usual to drive through town this afternoon.  From the Ashland Daily Tidings:

A bomb threat in Lithia Park forced the cancellation of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s afternoon performance of “On The Razzle” today.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival first delayed the play hoping to start by 2:30 p.m, according to Amy Richard, media relations and audience development manager. The ongoing delay led to its eventual cancellation, though as of 3 p.m. Richard said the festival expected its evening performances to start at 8:30 p.m. as scheduled. Richard said all tickets will be refunded from the cancelled play, though theatergoers could opt to swap the tickets for another play or receive a voucher for sometime in the future.

Ashland Police Department evacuated Lithia Park and much of the Plaza during a bomb scare around 1:15 p.m. today. Officers directed traffic away from a suspicious device at the base of the Lincoln Stature.

“We’ve got a bomb threat and until we can determine whether it’s a hoax or not, we are closing down the area,” APD Sgt. Theresa Selby said. By 1:30 p.m., police expanded the area of evacuation from the area immediately surrounding the Lincoln Statue and roped off the entire Plaza.

Some businesses, City of Ashland offices and Oregon Shakespeare offices are also reportedly evacuated as of this time.

“We are not sure at this time if there is a threat, but we are taking every precaution,” an APD press release stated. APD officials said the device had a timer and the words, “This is a hoax,” written on it. As of 2:30 all Plaza businesses were shut down by Ashland Police officers, in a forced evacuation of anyone within 300 feet of the Lincoln statue.

Originally the “hot zone” as police refer to the cordoned off area was set at 200 feet. Police have not yet said why they expanded the hot zone area. The Oregon State Police’s Bomb Squad was called to Ashland, police said, and are expected on the scene at anytime. Advertisement:

That's very scary!

LOL George.  You quoted Ginny & thanked me.  I do feel the same way & wish you a good evening.    

People who have recently eaten Veggie Booty and who have experienced any possible symptoms of salmonella infection — including abdominal cramps, fever, and diarrhea (which may be bloody) — should contact a doctor or other health care provider immediately and report the illness to state or local health authorities, notes the FDA.

Salmonella symptoms usually begin within one to four days after exposure to the bacteria. Most people don't develop severe illness, but salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause life-threatening infections, especially in infants and people with health problems or weak immune systems.

I was mistaken, children in other states also got sick, where I don't know.

I started to watch Queen From Outer Space, and fell asleep within fifteen seconds.  I woke up ten minutes later.  The transfer, which I'd read had "muted" colors (as par for the course with Warners) is actually pretty good and, as usual, these Internet "reviewers" simply know nothing about color.  When Warners does do one of their crappy brown transfers, these self-same experts tell us that the colors are great.
