Bo Goldman has died. He wrote the screenplays for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Melvin and Howard, both of which brought him Oscars. My favorite script of his was Shoot the Moon. He also co-wrote the book for First Impressions, the not-impressive musical version of Pride and Prejudice.

Today marks our third "Level 2" Severe Thunderstorm Watch this week. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. "Level 2" in itself is not a huge scary deal, but this is the story of the summer of 2023. Plus, being that it's a Saturday, and the rain might have missed a couple of Saturdays, it's important to keep that up as well.

I have seen them all except Season 10, of which I believe I have seen six episodes.  I do not remember a decapitation, but it's possible I have already seen that one.

I have been up about 15 minutes.  Slept the sleep of the virtuous overnight.  My CPAP was on me the whole time, too. No breathing issues.

There were dreams.  One was odd in that I was walking somewhere instead of driving.  The road had been narrowed by vegetation. In fact, it seemed that both sides had been overgrown by mounds of hay for as far as I could see ahead.  I was on a path.

Next thing, I was pushing something across a street on which people were strolling.  No cars or other transport.  A female officer asked to see my identification as I neared a curb.  I pulled out my wallet and displayed my faceless ID.  She confirmed I was who I should be, and then told me to move off the street and went on her way.

Next thing I know, I am in line to order coffee.  I was debating just what my order would be but had in my thoughts a quad latte.  As I approached the cashier, she said she was still waiting on the previous customer who had stepped away.

He suddenly appeared.  The guy was at a minimum 6'9"!  I got a crick in my neck just looking up at him.

I then woke up and had to readjust my pillow because I actually had a crick in my neck.

That's all there was to it.

Indonesia is the world’s fourth-largest country by population, with 273 million people, and, as of today, it appears that Indonesia will block “X” (formerly Twitter) because the “X” has been used in Indonesia (and presumably elsewhere) to denote porn sites.

Totally makes sense though

OOPS! Indonesia bans Twitter after Elon Musk rebrands it to “X” (https://occupydemocrats.com/2023/07/28/oops-indonesia-bans-twitter-after-elon-musk-rebrands-it-to-x/)

4 ingredients - a tub of cottage cheese, 2 Tbs of your favorite sweetener - I used sugar free maple syrup, a splash of vanilla and whatever else you want to put in it - I used blueberries.  I put it in the ice cream churner for 20 minutes or so.  You don't really need to, you can put it directly into the freezer of you wanted to.  Next time, I'll probably mix the cottage cheese and sweetener with an immersion blender to get the lumps out.  It's easy, and good for you!!!

Rodzinski - it's my only Terpning. I happened to be searching Ms. Gilberto on eBay one day about twelve years ago, maybe even more than that, because she was selling signed copies of her albums to raise dough for a charity. And she was selling the painting, which Terpning gifted her back in the day. It was way too much for the likes of me, but I made her an offer that I could afford and she accepted it. I got the painting, a really nice note from her, a COA, and a signed LP and CD.

Rodzinski - it's my only Terpning. I happened to be searching Ms. Gilberto on eBay one day about twelve years ago, maybe even more than that, because she was selling signed copies of her albums to raise dough for a charity. And she was selling the painting, which Terpning gifted her back in the day. It was way too much for the likes of me, but I made her an offer that I could afford and she accepted it. I got the painting, a really nice note from her, a COA, and a signed LP and CD.

That’s plain amazing.

DR Jane,

I agree about needing a change of scenery.
Am unable to do much right now other than paperwork, selling my mom’s place, and sorting through a lifetime of photos, cards, beautiful English teacups, teapots, artwork….my mother was German/British, and I don’t want to get rid of anything.

But, I must, and it hurts, deep into my soul.

I’ll get there eventually.

Thanks for thinking of me, and for the virtual hugs.

As would some lemon-blueberry trifle.

And rice pudding.

And lox and bagels.

Speaking of gay writers, if there are any fans of Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" series, book number 10 will be out in September.

It is called "Mona of the Manor".

I met him briefly a few years back when he spoke for Planned Parenthood here. I think I stopped reading those books after maybe the seventh.

I haven't read any of them. ::)

I am intrigued by the idea of cottage cheese ice cream.

Okay, I'll be the lone dissenter.  Nothing about cottage cheese intrigues me.  Not event a yit-bit. 

So...EWWWW!

I mostly agree with you Ron, but the cottage cheese ice cream does intrigue me...especially if it's all blended and not lumpy.  My sister used to make a lasagna with cottage cheese.  It tasted okayly, but the texture was not right. :P

I had a former co-worker who retired several years ago who always brought a HUGE strawberry trifle to every potluck.
