I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest.

Then I watched that TCM documentary on the films of 1939. Quite good but there were so many great films that the two Fox/Sherlock Holmes movies (HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES/ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES) weren't even mentioned (among many others not touched on).

And I ended my afternoon viewing speeding through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing in it today for me though tomorrow appears to be more interesting.

Not much happening on the internet this afternoon, so let me tidy up a few things here, and then I'll head down to start on tonight's work project THE WATERBOY.

There don't appear to be any bonus features, and the movie is less than 90 minutes, so it should be a pretty easy job tonight.

bk - Sorry to read about your car GPS woes.  But I also have to ask: Why do you keep your checkbook in your car?  And most GPS units have a "click-mount" - it should only a second or two to your car-entering and exiting routine.  That extra second is worth any future hassle. In any case...

It's good to see that you're OK, that you were not a "part" of the robbery. That's what really counts.

I would never have imagined that a $150 item would be hot with thieves - especially to take the chance that a car alarm will go off (mine apparently didn't - why, I'll have to find out) - how can it be worth it?  And they could have gotten an iPod, a radio, checks - the police think it was kids - big influx of this stuff in NoHo and here, apparently, so maybe they'll start patrolling.

It sounds like a classic "smash and grab".  They were probably walking by the car, saw the GPS mount, and did their thing.  If they had dug around for your iPod and checks, that would have taken more time - which would have provided more time for them to get caught.

Sorry to hear about the theft BK. Crazy that they would do it during the day when you are often home (and others are home). And with the construction workers right next door. Glad you got the window replaced so fast.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Well, my trip to Chicago a couple of weeks ago was more or less spontaneous.  And since I had made no advance plans for that visit...

When I was in college, I do remember just deciding to head up to DC or NYC for the weekend just because I could. And I did.

Otherwise, whenever I do my "wander, wander, wander" thing, it's more or less a series of small spontaneous things one after the other.

No, the smash and grab happened before daylight.  Also, I don't usually keep checks in the car, I'd just forgotten they were there.  And yes, if I should get another GPS, in and out of the car it will go.  I hate that people can just mess with people's lives like this and I've been bummed about it for hours, simply because they will never get caught - they will, however, despite what they may think now, have karma pay them a visit, and if I can add my endless bad wishes for them to suffer from bad things, then I shall.  It made today's work session very iffy for me, I just wasn't with it or in the mood.  Still, listening to Miss Purl and Mr. Spirtas sing was lovely and made me feel better.  And remember the other day when we were talking about friends who come by and take care of you in one way or another - I could have used such a friend tonight, but there are none to be found.  I have wonderful friends, and I cherish them, but I've never known them to just pick up and come over if needed - just not an LA thing, I guess.  I do it, if I'm summoned or needed, but that's just me.  Kevin might come over after they finish (I left early) and have some dinner so we can hash through the show, because it isn't feeling like much of anything to me right now and I need to hear my notes from our first work sessions - and he's got all those.

My boss is out (she's been out since last week) but that doesn't mean the work stops. I still have a full plate.


Well, you are out, too, so what difference does it make?

I was at home (in reference to the Moon Landing) in Coon Rapids, MN, staying up late (although it was summer and I didn't have to go to school the next day) watching with rapt fascination. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions it is amazing the lengths to which people will go to deny that the Moon Landing really happened.

I believe I was in the hospital waiting room with my father waiting for my brother, Don, to be born. He was a preemie.  So, starting tomorrow, July 21, Don and I will both be "40" for about a month.


And what do you remember most about the day, Jose?

BK, I've been with my DH for 30 years. The day his car was broken into was the only time I have EVER heard him say a bad word. It's very very upsetting to have your space invaded like that.

Thanx one and all for the get-well wishes for Woody; he seems to be on the mend - his fever is bouncing between 99.8 and 100.6 which is about normal for a 72 hour flu and he has a little appetite.

Note to Jose - I did do him some scrambled eggs and toast and brought home a large container of Giant's fresh made Tomato Bisque which sat well.

And, yes, BK, I have a spontaneous moment story:

TOD

While I was attending Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA. my MIL was visiting to help my wife with our brand new son. I decided we should take a short Friday afternoon trip to show MIL the Pinnacles National Monument. En route I noticed a sign mentioning Yosemite and I asked my MIL if she liked Yosemite. She replied that she’d never been there. Well, that would never do! “Shall we go for the weekend?”, I asked my wife. “Sure”, she replied. So at the next intersection we turned right and headed east toward Sierra Nevada Mountains. My MIL was aghast – “What are you doing? Nobody’s packed and we have three children in the car, one of which is only 10 days old. Well, we always traveled with complete changes of clothes for all of us (in case we came upon an irresistible beach or lake to explore). If you’ve packed for an afternoon for a nursing infant, you’ve packed for a week. ”But I don’t have my toothbrush!”, moaned MIL. “We’ll buy you one.” I replied. So off we went for a most thrilling weekend. And the Baby slept in a dresser drawer just like Moon Mullins in the comics.

After that, MIL never entered my car without a packed overnight bag.
