Thanks for the entertainment provided by DR DeltaDawn today.  Maybe that was DR FJL.

BTW: Did you notice that Wayne Rogers co-wrote THE ASTRO ZOMBIES?


I did not notice that. LOL! I am sure he is proud.

Astro Zombies scared the living daylights out of me when I saw it as a kid. One Ted Mikels film I really do enjoy is THE CORPSE GRINDERS. That one I just get a kick out of.

I have not seen that one.

DR Ron Pulliam - I meant to mention this yesterday since a friend's mother had the same questions...

TV signals in early 2009 will be going "Digital".  They will not be going "High-Def".  Although, "High-Def" transmissions are transmitted digitally. There will still be some non-High-Def programming being transmitted, but instead of being transmitted analogically (?), it will be transmitted digitally.  Most cable systems utilize cable boxes that can receive and "translate" digital signals. However, for any one out there who does not have cable - or a cable box - they will need to procure a converter box in order for them to view the digital transmissions (on their non-High-Def, or otherwise, television sets.

If you have time can you explain what this means. I've seen scrolls on a few stations saying they are going digital in feb 2009. but i don't really understand what it means or if it will affect me.

Ok, I wasn't going to weigh in on this but if you were turning left, it was probably your duty to yield even if he passed on the right to get around the car that stopped to let you turn (but didn't have to stop to let you turn).  At least that's the way I read it.  If they had to yield or had a traffic signal, well that's a different story.  Just my gut reaction.  I could be wrong.  And since I'm not licensed in California...I must add the disclaimer that this isn't legal advice...

Jennifer, essentially if you have cable, satellite or Dish TV, then it won't affect you at all.  It will only affect you if you get your TV only from an antenna.

Good Evening!

The cantuccini are finished, and the first tray of peanut butter cookies are in the oven.

-And that's the Kitchen Report.  Up next, another traffic update from DR Dan (the Man).

HAPPY HANUKKAH!!

Thank you.   the Chanukah cookies are delicious.  They are even better with the incredibly delicious whipped egg white batter for the Tom & Jerry's Bryan & Kate made.  I discovered dribbling the batter on the cookies was extra yummy.  Now we are drinking the Tom & Jerry's which have brandy & rum added.

Bryan received a birthday present of IMBIBE by David Wondrich.  If you like history, strong or strange drinks, this is the book for you.

Well, if you can explain how one is supposed to yield to someone who one cannot see because he has gone around cars in a non-lane and is blocked from view and is speeding to boot, well, I'm happy to listen.  There is something a little awry about the traffic laws in this country that clearly favor assholes who are dangerous and shouldn't be behind the wheel.  I will not bend on this, and even though I am insured and it's not coming out of my pocket, I have instructed my insurance company that they should not pay and that I am happy to present this case to a jury.  It's really that simple.  Next you'll all be telling me that people who are talking on cell phones and causing accidents are IN THE RIGHT.  Well, they aren't and this guy wasn't.

HAPPY CHANUKAH, and thank you for the Chanukah wishes.  I just realized it is dark & while I have been eating Chanukah cookies we have not lit the menorah.  I had better do that before the Tom & Jerry's leave me on the floor giggling my heart out ;)
