No streetlights? How do kids know when to come in from playing outside?
Oh, that’s right, kids don’t play outside anymore.

Yesterday morning, I posted on Facebook: Anyone looking for part-time work?

The last time I did, about three months ago, there were no takers. Yesterday, there were two, so I now have someone to come in once a week
 to help me get this place in order: I've got things to Fed Ex to Ohio, books to donate to Connecticut libraries via our DR ChasSmith, and hopefully I can reclaim my living space.

I'm a bit giddy this morning about the good news of the Trump indictments but also because moronic Marjorie Toilet Greene confessed to a crime on Fox News: the stupid twit looked at the possibly bogus info on Biden bribes at the FBI, which the Freedom Caucus and gorilla Jim Jordan are trying to use for impeachment, left the secured room where the document was viewed, wrote dopwn what she remembered, and she's now flaunting it. I hope she and Trump end up in the same cell. It would be Sartre's No Exit: she wants to be Trump's vice president and I don't think she's Trump's type to grab and kitty.

DR JohnG, I can't speak of other Victorian translations, but I do know that the lesbian couple in Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo were downgraded to just good friends. Isn't Nana a great backstage novel? I love the scene of the madam giving the chorus girls their after-the-show assignments.

Either Meilhac or Halevy, the librettists for Offenbach's La Belle Helene, La Vie Parisienne, and La Perichole as well as Bizet's Carmen, gave Zola gossip about Offenbach's troupe, especially the scandalous Hortense Schneider.

"Morning Joe" is reacting to an ABC news alert that the same judge who had ignored law and ruled in favor of Trump a year or so ago is now involved with the grand jury indictment in Florida.  She is the Trump appointee who was overruled by a federal district court.

Of course, they are examining this from all angles.  Until all is made clear, they are assuming that her name has come up because the grand jury is in her district.  Doesn't necessarily mean she will be assigned the case.

I feel a Sam's Club visit is in my immediate, if not sooner, future.

I have needs that cannot be allowed to lapse over the weekend.  Most of those needs surround ice cream and my fast-dwindling supply here.

My rational self demands I look at the time it will take and whether the ride for just one item is worth the trip.  Rationally, no.   But I am ruled by my passions at times. 

Rationality may be overruled.

A comment I read years ago that has always stuck with me went something like this: "Street lamps used to be for the PEOPLE on sidewalks. Now they're for the cars on the road." A generalization, but there's much truth to it. Classic street lamps are almost a romantic thing. They welcomed and made it safer for people to be out and about, and the classic ones are lovely things.

I loved the classic ones in the residential parts of 1970s Hollywood. I even Google street-viewed a few streets recently to see if any remained. There were indeed some, but I only had a quick look at a few blocks. I don't know whether the old style ones were still prominent around my blocks (Franklin & Whitley), but I remember walking at night, particularly in areas west of Highland, and actually appreciating them, right then and there, in my twenties. That memory is inseparable from that of the smell of the trees and the air. It was my first summer there, and my senses were highly sensitive to all of it.

The one other place in earlier years that I remember classic street lamps was the one year we lived in Bexley, the lovely old suburb of Columbus, and though I was only ten years old, the look and feel of walking and bicycling around our neighborhood with its trees and classic street lamps meant something even then.

TOD

I've started on my HARVEY journey. It won't be every movie in the book, just those that ring my bell for a particular reason (unless I've just recently watched them, which is true in a few cases). But that's still a LOT of movies; like, between 40 and 50. Starting at the beginning, I'm not seeking out Hold That Blonde or The High and the Mighty. I've seen the latter, and I reviewed a few clips online to recall the look and sound of it. But I was anxious to jump into Target Earth which I have on laserdisc and had never watched. I love that old sci-fi stuff, and watching it now was most enjoyable. And then Bad Day at Black Rock - which I've seen "a million times" but not in any recent years, and that was really rewarding. It really is magnificent, and I always forget that it has a powerful score by Andre Previn. That opening titles music, for my taste, takes its place among some of the greatest (as does Previn's Dead Ringer). That man left Hollywood WAY too soon, damn him.

Up next is Mister Roberts, which I don't have here but I think Kristi might, and To Catch a Thief for which it's high time for a viewing anyway.

What I have never heard any of the Conservative media explain, however, is how EXACTLY the Democrats managed to steal the red states that went for Biden.  You know...the states with Republican governors and legislatures.

Back from Sam's Club.

Had a very nice shopping...ice cream, key lime pie, blueberry muffins, chicken teriyaki, and maple syrup.

Driving, however, was upsetting inasmuch as every time I encountered a vehicle about to enter the road, said vehicle pulled out in front of me causing me to hit my brakes.   It's like they don't have a clue how to assess traffic flow.

And don't let me get started on drivers at four-way stops.   It boggles my mind why those stops confound anyone.

I read a newer translation of Count, which was clear about the lesbian couple. Dumas had his lesbian couple. Zola had his lesbian bar. Balzac wrote a novel about a gay male couple. Good for the French for representation at least.

And fascinating about Offenbach. Thanks.

Mike Pence believes, I think, that we have all forgotten the spectacle, early in the Trump presidency, of him and Trump's cabinet members sitting around the table kissing Trump's ass before a news crew while Trump simply sat there and absorbed it as if he deserved it.

I will never forget it.  No one ever associated with Trump, who praised Trump, who served Trump, will ever get forgiveness from me, and I will NEVER FORGET about it.

It is one of the most APPALLING AND LUDICROUS things to have ever happened in the White House!

In my old neighborhood there was a public wooden statue on the street depicting a lamplighter. Back when they had such things.

I have a picture of it, but covered in depths of snow, so you can't really make out any of the details.

His snowy hair was so much whiter beneath the candle glow.

Playing a rhyming-match card game with the kids and these cards were the last pair. I was like wtf? Then I texted my neighbor who gave it to us and said “do these words rhyme to you?” Yes, she said. She is from New Zealand and got the game there. Beware kiwis bearing linguistic gifts!

(http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7257.0;attach=17690)

It's the same in Britain.  I remember reading that when Sondheim became the first visiting professor at Oxford to teach students the craft of songwriting, he gave the participants his favorite rhyming dictionary as a gift...but it was an American rhyming dictionary with American rhymes, which was somewhat useless to British songwriters. :)

After having experienced both screens, I really do like the smaller screen with more physical/tactile buttons than the larger all-touch screen.

I would have refused to buy a car with a screen like that.  Thankfully Keith also agrees with us about those large screens.

Just finished reading the entire indictment. Many of the counts carry a max sentence of 20 years in prison.

I was surprised at the full detail of evidence laid out.

Several characters, like Trump Attorney I and Trump Attorney 2, should hope their identities are not revealed too soon.

Christina Bobb is Trump Attorney 3.

Still not certain as to the identity of Trump Attorney 2.

This will all be revealed soon.

George has apparently gone down some damn rabbit hole and since he didn't show up last night until three minutes before midnight, he should be posting up a storm - and yet, no storm and no posts.

Well, at least page nine has arrived, which is more than I can say for George.

Vibes to DR George that his car is now repaired properly, once and for all.

Did they tell you what the problem was and why it took so long?

I don't remember the specific item (I'm not at home right now) but it was a part in/of(?) the dashboard sensors that was malfunctioning.
Title: Re: WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO STREET LAMPS?
Post by: George on June 09, 2023, 11:51:02 PM
They just replaced that and now everything seems to be working like it's supposed to...so far.

I went to my mom's to play cards, but my niece didn't come tonight, and neither did her friend Mona.
Title: Re: WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO STREET LAMPS?

Dee, Mona's friend who always plays with us, too, just didn't show up.

My mom and I did play one game with just the two of us, and then my mom asked if I would want to go to the casino and play the slots.
Title: Re: WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO STREET LAMPS?
Post by: George on June 09, 2023, 11:55:12 PM
I said that I wouldn't mind (I had some cash with me) and we left her house around 6:00.
Title: Re: WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO STREET LAMPS?
Post by: George on June 09, 2023, 11:57:25 PM
I finally left my mom's house about 10 minutes ago and just went through a Taco Bell drive-thru (and parked so that I could post this message).

Glued to MSNBC. Good coverage.

I'm watching the rebroadcast right now, and was listening to the Sirius XM simulcast when I was in my car.
