Everywhere on the trip, gas was in the $1.95-$2.10 range, except Louisville, where it was $2.47 a gallon. What's up with that?

When is the book available, Fred? I need to add it to my Landau collection.

[vixmom]

I also discovered, upon returning to my car, ( but before buying gas) that someone too lazy to return their wagon to the corral had left it bumped up to my car bumper

[vixmom]

However they also left their pool test strips which we could use so I consider it payment for the scuff left behind

[FJL]

Hopefully in a few weeks, by end of July.

If you want the draft of the interior in advance, i can PDF it to you.  Would love some thoughts on which lyrics are keepers, what to dump, and stuff like that if you're willing.

In anticipation of the many many animals that will become lost this evening as a result of the fireworks, the county pound waived adoption fees to clear out the kennels.

I thought about it, but decided not to. I'll never find another cat as wonderful as Joshie.

It is sad people simply don't keep their pets extra safe tonight.

Those super special pets are irreplaceable.

On Sunday, I made a combined birthday dinner for Mom and Dad. I made garlic-stuffed lamb, which is one of his favorites, as well as some oven-roasted Greek potatoes with garlic and oregano as well as a Greek salad and some snap peas with garlic.

You are a good son

Yes you are.

TOD - 43 years ago today, Middletown celebrated The Bicentennial with a huge parade that ended at our new city building.  Our theatre group had a float for which DR Elmore designed and constructed fabulous costumes, including a bustle dress that I wish I still had (and could still wear...).

I love this photo of you.  I have always wanted a dress like this

Why aren't the photos appearing in the quotes?

I dunno. I took their car.

Another reason you are a good son 😊

Great stuff. I particularly liked Scarborough fair.

DR Laura do you plan to foster kittens again?

Sure. You have my email.

That was probably the best thing you could have done considering the circumstances.  When it became apparent my dad was no longer safe behind the wheel we persuaded him to "lend" it to  the Vixter (whom he adored)  so she could get to work and school

They must have imported it from NY

We had a similar experience with my Mom.  She gave us her car for Rob, when he was about to start his first college co-op, in exchange for the golf cart we bought for her to tootle around the retirement community.  She's been asking recently what happened to her car and lamenting that she had a lot of friends as long as she could drive them around.

DR Laura do you plan to foster kittens again? 

I don't know. I've thought about it. The room they would be in is pretty much a storage room now.

Also, I have discovered some new cats in the back yard. There were two toms, but I have seen some small adults that are ear-tipped, meaning they have been spayed/neutered. I learned from Nextdoor.com that a nearby neighbor has trapped and neutered a few.

There are also kittens. Sandra wants to catch them and keep them. I don't know. I have appointments at the clinic to take them to be fixed if I can catch them.

It was authentic, complete with laced corset.  Not something I'd want to wear every day, but very suitable for the occasion.

Thank you, DRs Jane and John G!

Here is a photo of the (almost) complete float cast that shows the front of my dress:

Almost time to leave for Mariemont - bye for now!

T.O.D.

I have no memory of anything "special" that happened on the 4th of July.

Some fireworks, yes, but nothing out of the ordinary.

[FJL]

vixmom - I think you might even be able to get a free signed copy.  I know people who know people!

I am happy to announce the publication of my new novel by BearManor Media.

This one had a long gestation.  I conceived the idea almost 2 decades ago, originally as a screenplay.  At some point, it transformed into a novel, but that also took a few years to finish.

Set in the 1970s, JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE is about Jackie Moss, a brash, Jewish Las Vegas comedian who is, by mistake, booked to do a one-night gig deep in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.  The mountain folk, who were expecting a popular country-western singer named Jake Moss, are certainly disappointed.  Indeed, the question now becomes: Can Jackie and his pianist, Dave Arthur, get out of this situation alive?   

I'm very pleased with this work, and I hope you will give it a read.

Below are the links to the book trailer and the Amazon website where you can purchase JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE in either a paperback or Kindle edition.

TOD:

When I was seven, we went to visit Mom's side of the family in Germany. It included a trip to Heidelberg for a few days and happened to be over the Fourth of July. The castle there was lit up with the most spectacular fireworks show I've ever seen. And there were a few people who loudly went "oooh," "aaaaah," "eeeee" and "ohhhhhh" for the entire show. It made us laugh and we still do it.

As we were going over Mom's decades of postcards that she collected, we found several of Heidelberg and we all started up with the chorus of "ooooh" and "aaaaah" all over again.
