It's Thursday in Oakland CA.

Have my next dentist appointment this afternoon.

I am SO looking forward to it.

Following previous discussion about losing cars in car parks, I downloaded a free Application for my phone "Find Your Car" which I've tested and seems to work OK. It's also handy for guiding you back to any location such as a hotel - I could have done with it when I got lost in Bilbao last week. Also a lot cheaper than those GPS key chains.

Thursday morning greetings!  It's sunny and cold here in SW Ohio today.  I'm staying close to the phone while my mother sees her doctor about the chest cold she's developed.  If he calls in a prescription for her, I'm on call to pick it up.  Other than that, I'm home trying to finish Zola's The Ladies' Paradise before tonight's discussion.

Had to go to the mall for a few things. The shops are getting ever more busy with the approach to Christmas. Whilst there had a tasty ham and salad baguette and cappuccino for lunch at a newly opened cafe. A female sales assistant grabbed me at a display stand and insisted on demonstrating a gel warming device - they come in all different sizes; some are hand warmers whilst others fit over your shoulders. They certainly get very warm. They were very pricey though and I declined to buy one.

Some of you may have seen/heard about the Portland Tri-Met driver who kicked a woman off her bus because the woman's child was fussy.  Well The Oregonian did a big expose this morning that this driver has a long history of manufacturing "rules" for riders, including telling people to stop talking on their cell phones, and Betsy realized she had an encounter with this driver last year, when the driver stopped the bus and said she wouldn't continue until Betsy hung up.

We know a celebrity!!!!

Of course Betsy was mortified at the time, though I told her it was ridiculous and she should file a complaint.  She assumed she was completely in the wrong.  I rolled my eyes this morning and said, "Sure, the Tri-Met driver gets the benefit of the doubt, but your husband?. . ."  ;)

The driver has racked up literally hundreds of complaints just over the past few years.

TOD:

I love me something savoury.  But does something savoury love me back?  No.

Nuts are great for what ails you, and they can be tasty (and a bit savoury), too.  I like pistachios and peanuts, pecans and almonds, and walnuts.

Popcorn is fun sometimes.

Pan Am has just started being aired here. I liked the '60s look and it made a change to see people elegantly dressed. It wasn't brilliant but I found it entertaining enough. It's just a pity that it has to be so soap operish when there is considerable scope for some serious plot elements. And does everyone - including pilots when working at flying the plane - have to be constantly smiling? I'd not seen Margot Robbie before but she certainly is gorgeous.

I'm up and on the phone with Apple - trying to figure out why the Time Capsule is blinking amber when it should be green - it's working fine, which means it's probably time for an update but I can't find it in system preferences to do the update.  So, I'm waiting for the Time Capsule expert.

Next time I'll remember that you have to go into applications and then time capsule to do this - can't get to it from system preferences.

And...

Now I need to head out for a walk - obeying all local traffic and pedestrian laws - and maybe grab a cup of coffee and/or a bite to eat some place.

Laters...

For whatever reasons, the time capsule never shows up under software updates - never has.  You have to go into applications and click on the icon and then you see that it wants to do it.  I checked on the Software Update last night - nothing there.  And I do get auto notified when updates are available.  It's weird.

Yahoo has an interesting story on the worst covers of Life magazine, which includes a photo of Kaye Ballard in "The Golden Apple",


http://news.yahoo.com/photos/life-s-20-worst-covers-1321377938-slideshow/

One of the covers mentions a Rodgers & Hammerstein Christmas song, which Peter Filichia says was a stand-alone piece called "Merry Christmas, Little Friend." Does anybody know the song or know of a recording?

It's called Happy Christmas, Little Friend. It seems to be available as sheet music on line but I can't find a recording. Rosemary Clooney sang it on a Christmas album and there are many references all over the Web when you look for Happy, not Merry.

You are in California so I'm not surprised you got pulled over for jaywalking.
