My Sunday Zoom chat was invigorating and fun.  We had a nice assemblage of disparate characters and opinions.  Alway interesting.

Our Pakistani member was not in attendance, though.  He recently moved his family into a new house and has been working days and unpacking at nights.  Two kids, as well.

I am wondering who here has ever seen the film "Shattered Glass".  That was a topic of discussion by the two members who had seen it, and I am now looking forward to seeing it.

I have a small RANT!

Phone just rang.

Jerry from some warranty company was informing me that the warranty on my 2012 Nissan Frontier was expiring and that I had not responded to the letter they recently sent me,

Grrrrrr!

I informed Jerry that my used Frontier came with NO warranty, that I have never done business with his so-called company and that I would appreciate it if he would stop calling me.

He hung up before I could finish.

While I realize that is an awful lot of STUPID out there in the world, it does not enter my door.

I didn't go get my Burger King Bundle yesterday afternoon because it was raining so hard.

So I went this morning at 10:50 a.m. since breakfast service starts at 10:30 a.m.

I went in, some folks sitting in booths.....no one else at the counter. I handed the young lady my coupon and asked for the Family Bundle.  She said:  "We don't do that no more."

And then she started laughing and said:  "I'm just foolin' witchu."

It didn't take too long.....and now everything is put away to be eaten over the next few days.  But I am having a WHOPPER for lunch right now.

My friend Shelly invited me over for some turkey chili today.  Hopefully, it's for lunch because I'm going to a new (to me) casino, and we'll most likely eat dinner there.

I'm not telling Annabelle there's a White Cat pas de deux in Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty, which has one of the greatest orchestrations ever.

DR RON PULLIAM thanks for the link - yes I remember the story now....even now I wonder if some of her editors didn't quite believe the story - why did they run it?

And what else had/have they let go?  Of course now - journalism isn't held to a very high standard and truth be damned in some quarters.

They even nominated it for a Pulitzer!

Today, my mom and I went to the Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester, Washington, just to go somewhere different that the usual Red Wind Casino near Yelm.

Anyway, it wasn't as good a casino as the Red Wind, so after less than an hour (not much more than half an hour, I'm sure), we decided to go to Yelm and lose some money there.
