Friday morning greetings! We are waiting for a delivery, then we'll go out to do some errands. We're keeping our eyes on the skies because there's a hot air balloon festival in town this weekend.

Last night, we watched the original TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.

I hadn't seen it in 15 years. It holds up very well. Great action thriller...with humor.

That is a favorite action flick. The remake sucked b

Love it. One of the great 1970s flicks. No remake for me, thankyouverymuch.

My favorite battery powered pencil sharpener just bit the dust. My life is over.

Guess you ain't got no pocketknife on you. It's how we use ta sharpen pencils.

DR JOHN G the picture of that jackfruit you posted the other day was SCARY.

John G. · « **Reply #36 on:** July 08, 2016, 09:08:44 AM »

I doubt I will ever play again with jackfruit, JRand. It didn't strike me as being tasty enough for all the work involved.

BK, does Kritzerland still work with Capitol Records? I think this needs to be reissued.

I've been looking for that LP for years! I've never heard it.

I'm up, I'm up. The tree people were back at eight-twenty knocking on my door. Of course no one told me they were coming. I let them in the yard, and went back to sleep then got up at eleven-thirty. However, I got involved reading an article last night so didn't fall asleep until four, so I think I got seven hours.

I found this on eBay about 18 years ago. It's in my "collection".

Another way was to expose the graphite (I did it by gnawing at the tip of the pencil) and then sharpening that graphite by extreme shading on a piece of paper (i.e., vigorously rubbing the tip against a sheet of paper at an extreme angle).

FB is awash in the morbidity of all the violence and mayhem across the U.S.

That, plus the cretinous political postings blaming Obama and Black Lives Matter for the Dallas shootings makes me want to throttle the perpetrators.

Guess I should eat something and see if there are any packages to be picked up. The question is, as always, to go sit in a restaurant, or to go to Gelson's and get something. Interestingly, while Jerry's or anywhere else around here for that matter, isn't exactly cheap, I always spend more when I go to Gelson's - kind of crazy, actually.

One of the big library book sales starts tomorrow. Will I go? You betcha. I don't buy everything in sight like I used to, but there's always something. So, will I get up extra early to get a numbered admission ticket along with the dealers? Several years ago I was doing that every time. Nowadays, it rarely seems worth it. If I'm there and in line to get in right after them, it's not a deal breaker as it seems we are rarely after the same things.

As a kid, I used to love library book sales. Found more than a few vinyl copies of cast albums, theater books, etc. Well, nowadays, not so much. At least at the library sales here. 20 used copies of 50 Shades of Gray, etc.

I wonder if we can turn the page.

I'll try to post some more times.

With just me and 0 guests present, it's going to be mostly me, I reckon.

I know it's irritating to see post after post by the same person in an effort to turn the page.

On the other hand, it gets the job done.

We are having an absolutely beautiful day here in Oakland today.

We're at the end of the first week in July and it has been rather cool. Even as pretty as it is outside, the termperature is very moderate.

The afternoon is plodding along. Had an entertaining lunch hour covering someone else's desk while she had lunch.

People came to me about problems they needed fixed. And I fixed 'em. Made a few lives easier at the time.
