Too much me on this page.
Opening night vibes for Matthew and company. Love that score.

I’ve never seen Chinatown or Rosemary’s Baby
A petty comment about my trip to CostCo yesterday afternoon:
It was not exactly senior citizens afternoon, but it was close. And some of the behaviors just puzzle me.
Several men, of a more advanced age than those in their 40s, push their carts down the very wide aisles but down the very CENTER of those aisles, making it necessary to stop until they realize they are sharing with others.
Add to that the companions of those men pushing carts, who walk and stop beside the cart, taking up nearly 3/4 of the aisle. And in a couple of encounters, finding them both stopping beside one of those "sample stations" completely blocking the aisles.
Everyone is very nice about it when they realize there is someone else there who needs to get by, but I have to wonder why there isn't some forethought about that fact. On a lazy day, customer-wise, walking down the very center of an aisle makes it much easier to take in everything on both sides. That's understood by most shoppers. But, on a very busy day, it's not realistic.
I know that free food samples are very, very popular. Yesterday, the sampling stations were mobbed. And they were in very high-traffic locations.
Sigh!
OLLIE'S has the narrowest aisles of any store I have EVER been in - two carts cannot pass each other.....so it's one way traffic all the way.
And of course there is the popular phrase "Move it along, toots." that can be used in extreme cases.

When you get to Ashville …
Good Morning! Not sure what's up for today except for probably my Friday trip to Safeway and a bike ride. I have some projects that should be looked into and such, but we'll see how it goes. It's a lovely day here, slight breeze and the sun is out. We still haven't really had summer yet. I grew up in Angels Camp, and the summers were warm and I loved that. In the last 10 years or so here in the Bay Area, summer weather hasn't started until late August.
DR JANE I think you should say it just to see what Keith does.
It is 86 degrees here headed for 90.....I shall stay indoors.
And the guy never said thank you.
Wow, DR Jane. That IS a miracle. May you have many more.
And the guy never said thank you.
Did he at least say, "No problem"?
Or "you're welcome," sarcastically?
I have to deal with the middle of the aisle thing at our Costco, too.

Phone patience vibes for Elmore. And all of us.
~~~OPENING NIGHT BREAK-A-LEG VIBES~~~ for DR Matthew & Company!!!!!
A miracle happened last night.
I slept around 7.5 to 8 hours.
Good news from DR RON PULLIAM about his visiting friend....great solution.
The DREAM-O-MATIC 6000 and I agree that his dream was inspired by the situation. The delivery man & the younger man were both symbolic of The Visitor - in the present & in the past.
The pretzels tells us that DR RP thought that the twists and turns of the relationship in the past are not something to be dealt with now - life has moved on.

That article led me to this, which is about Judge Cannon and mistakes that she's made in another (non-trump) case:

Wow! Congrats, Jane!
The Washington Center remodeled last year, and the carpet on their stairs had the same effect. And there have been a couple of incidents of patrons losing their balance while walking down said stairs. :o
Not easily, and not without holding on to a stair rail.
Fortunately, there are hand rails.
In all my experience, you use your Costco member card to activate the pump, but can pay with any card you want after that.

DR John G - I LOL'd when I read your post. I find Ashville one of the most boring songs in the score and one where I am constantly counting and missing patch changes and all the clave hits that I've programed into my part. It's also the song that is in my head EVERY MORNING!

I think it's the most heartbreaking song in the score! I love it.
Jason showed up around 11:45 to set up my new computer. By 12:45, when he left, both computers were humming away as the files from the old Mac transferred to the other. There's about an hour to go, and tomorrow my new Mac will be up and running.
Two irritants of the day. Irritant 1:
Guy orders a CD yesterday. We ship it yesterday. Today, he opens a PayPal dispute saying he's e-mailed me and hasn't heard back nor has he received confirmation, even though it says in BOLD ALL CAPS that the PayPal receipt IS the only confirmation you get. The dispute says "item not received". I respond immediately saying the item was shipped the same day he ordered it, and I provided the tracking number and told him to immediately close the cast. I then go to the Kritzerland e-mails. His e-mail came in at 5:37 this morning. So because he hadn't had a response by noon he opened a PayPal dispute. I responded a little differently to his e-mail, telling him when his email came in, that it was really unreasonable to expect a response that quickly, even more unreasonable to open a PayPal dispute, and color me baffled. I told him to close the case. By the time I returned he'd closed it but not responded to the e-mail. What is wrong with people? Seriously, what is WRONG with people. Has the Internet just turned people into complete morons?

That's my experience, also, but the card has to be a Visa (debit or credit), not just any brand of card.

Enjoying my day off.
The other half of the new neighbors was out throwing something into the trash can.....so I spoke to him and he came over to talk.
Very interesting gentleman......and so now I know them both!
DR JANE it seems as if Keith could have used the ultimate phrase on the guy at the pump.
I think of all of the TRUE LIFE stories I have read on HHW....and there have been some wonderful ones....
Is still the boy who tried to get into DR VIXMOM'S car with a bass fiddle thinking that she was the UBER driver he had ordered.
Irritant 2:
After lunch, I went to the bank to deposit a small check. I come down a lane but all places are taken but I can see in the next lane over, several empty spots. Only I can't get to the next lane because a HUGE Cadillac Escalade is blocking the lane so no one can get out of it to exit or go to another lane. Its hazard lights are flashing. I honk. A young girl at the ATM turns around and gestures I should go around her humungous car. I manage to do it with about two inches to spare on either side.
I park and hurry over so I can give her a piece of my mind, but she knows I'm coming, runs to her Cadillac Escalade and bolts. There's a security guard there, talking on his cell phone. I said to him. "Why don't you pay attention - that idiot was blocking everyone. He saw who it was and apologized. I am so sick of rich entitled jerks like this young girl. Want to know what her Cadillac Escalade cost: Sticker price? $160,000. Yes, entitled. She could have simply turned left and left again to the next lane and parked in an actual parking spot, but she couldn't be bothered to do that and instead blocked everyone in that parking lane from exiting.
Or "you're welcome," sarcastically?

That should have been Keith’s part

Well I was considering filing a PayPal dispute today because I still haven’t received the book you’re currently writing .
Ouch! I lost my grip on my iPad and somehow in the catching of it ( which I did manage) I poke my own self in the eye
And it hurts like #$*@
It's opening night! Trying to be excited LOL. I'm very proud of the cast and the band (yes, even the banjo player) and I wish them all the excitement a live audience will bring. Whenever I'm asked if I'm excited for opening night by a cast member, I always reply "I'm excited for you!!" Which I am, actors need that audience. There's a small gala reception after the show, I'll make a quick appearance and then head home. I'd just like to sneak out, but I'll know people in the audience tonight.
Thanks for letting me say all that. :-)
I do not care for page seven.

I never knew…. Why didn’t you say?
I hope I didn’t scratch the cornea
What is gasoline going for in your neck of the woods, Jane?
It’s gone up 30 cents a gallon in a little over a week
We paid $4.59 for mid grade today.

Keith found a great price on a monitor that was too good to pass up, plus the extra savings of not paying an additional tax.
