I wish that I was going to see THE MUSIC MAN tomorrow (Cilla, I love that show).  Just kidding!  Actually for years after I did the show back in '66, I couldn't even stand to listen to the LP.  I think it was only when I tried watching the Matthew Broderick version on television, that I really realized how much I loved the movie.

I met Shirley many years ago in Las Vegas.  I still think she is one of the loveliest "film stars" that I have ever met.  A very wonderful human being.

 We went to a different dog trainer for the canine good citizen class.  This morning the trainer we have been using since puppy class sent us this cute card.

Time for me to sign off.  Before heading to work, I've got to accompany der B to the campsite where his daughter and clan will be parking their trailer for the summer.  Seems she wants "pictures", and it falls to us to do the snapping.

Hmm...wha'...oh, I took a nap instead of going shopping.  I'd still be asleep if the dogs next door hadn't started barking at the mailman.

Richard and I will have a Saturday-night-at-Kroger date after the movie.

Uh, no, DR TCB - Kroger is our Cincinnati-based supermarket chain.  We often have wild and crazy Saturday evenings at one or another of their locations.

Has anyone seen this photo before.  Quite amazing.




THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY  

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB!
 
Check out the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.

April 17: Pierre the Penguin wears his wetsuit as he is put back into his home at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Miniature Wetsuit Puts Balding Penguin Back in Play
SAN FRANCISCO —  What's black and white and warm all over? A penguin in a wetsuit, naturally.

Sounds like a joke, but it's quite serious for biologists at the California Academy of Sciences, who had a wetsuit created for an African penguin to help him get back in the swim of things.

Pierre, a venerable 25 years old, was going bald, which left him with an embarrassingly exposed, pale pink behind.

Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm, penguins rely on their waterproof feathers.

Without them, Pierre was unwilling to plunge into the academy's penguin tank and ended up shivering on the sidelines while his 19 peers played in the water.

"He was cold; he would shake," said Pam Schaller, a senior aquatic biologist at the academy.

Pierre's species of penguin is accustomed to temperate climates, unlike many of their cousins. The birds are nicknamed Jackass penguins because they make sounds similar to braying donkeys, quite startling the first time you hear it in an aquarium.

Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: If wetsuits help humans frolic in the chilly Pacific, why not whip up one in a slightly smaller size?
Staff at Oceanic Worldwide, a supplier of dive gear based in San Leandro, were enthusiastic about making a real penguin suit.

"We were really excited to do it," said Teo Tertel, company marketing specialist. "We heard most of these penguins only live to 20, and our little buddy there was already 25. Anything we could do to help them, we were all for it."...

Ah yes, one of the first warm Saturdays of the year.  The traffic is backed-up, bumper to bumper in both directions in front of my house.  Everyone is doing the loop thru Point Defiance Park.

couldst I time-travel, I would try to work up the nerve to have lunch with Miss Bette Davis, partly 'cause she's one of my faves and partly because we were both born in Lowell Mass.(She is older than I)...Yesterday,banking, errand running, travelling with Harold and Kumar, everywhere  I drove I was listening to EVENING PRIMROSE. What a delight! Merci, Monsieur Kimmel.........Never watched Dr WHO, but our BBC America has a new batch of BLOOD IN THE WIRE episodes with the marvelous Robson Green....I guess he's a big UK TV star, but why no major feature films is a mystery to me.

I thought that they did, but when I went to the Kroger homepage and tried to pull-up Washington State, it said no stores.

Hmm, time traveling to dine with a star?  Most of them I wouldn't have to time travel for, because they are still alive.  I would mention names, but most are not elmore favorites.

I suppose I might time travel back to September 29, 1955.  I would invite James Dean over for a nice home-cooked meal.  He would be so sick the next day, that he would never think of driving to the race in Salinas.
