Jay Records was having a sale that if you bought any two of these CDs, you'd get the third for free! I did, and I did! But I already had I and Albert.

I am also having a relaxing me day....DR RLP I believe that it is a good time of the year to purchase a pickup truck.....and you might look into different leasing arrangements which are sometimes more economical....and you are not stuck with a two or three year old vehicle to sell at the end of the time.....
The last Friday in September, 2017!!I am looking forward to a much less dramatic 2018!
I don't know where the day went. I skipped acupuncture today and thought I could catch up a bit. I did a load of laundry and stopped at Trader Joe's, but where'd the rest of the day go?
Quote from: Jane on September 29, 2017, 09:03:33 AMDR Ron why do you need a pickup truck vs a car or SUV?Because we are very rural. In order to accommodate our needs, there is always a need to transport more than a car trunk will hold. And the norm is that more than one person is going to be with you on supply rooms...and room is precious.

Because we are rural, I imagine I'll be traveling a lot more than I did in the Bay Area where I averaged 3,000 miles per year. I drove my 1990 Ford Probe from when I bought it in July 1993 until I sold it to the State of California in September 2017, It had 33,000 miles on it when I bought it. When I sold it, there were 93,467 miles on it. That is 60,000 miles in 24 years,
Just gleefully blocked another ASS on Facebook. I posted saying I needed an Asian actress for Levi as well as a white male. Some idiot came after me for not SPECIFYING exactly what KIND of Asian, like I was a racist or something. I told him the character was Chinese. He then implied I should only cast a Chinese rather than any old Asian. I told him he was barking up the wrong tree and five seconds from being blocked. He then lectured me about Orientalism whatever the hell that is. I told him I didn't need the lecturing and to go have his Facebook outrage elsewhere. I then took a gander at his page - Mr. Causes (and not Asian, BTW) - every cause under the sun, like a billboard. What a bore. I responded, asking if it meant I couldn't cast a non-Jew as a Jew or vice versa, if I couldn't cast a Black as a white if I felt like being diverse, if I couldn't cast a white American as a white Frenchman - which is what he was telling me basically, and then I told him I was the guy who put Asians, Blacks, Russians in Dogpatch USA just because I could. I left it up long enough for him to see it and then I took all his comments off the board and blocked him for good. This is the sorry world we live in now. You can't say anything, you can't do anything without some butt wipe piping up to tell you how awful you're being. This word is out, this other word is in, catch phrases for everything now, that change daily. Phooey is what I say.
BTW, NEWTON'S LAW, from the producers of MISS FISHER, includes one of my favorite characters from MISS FISHER in selected episodes. I always want him to assume his MISS FISHER role.
It was all quite exciting.
