Several days ago I let two of my neighbors know that I was having surgery and asked if they could help with mail, as I would be unable to make it up or down the stairs. (Small apartment building with no elevator.) One of them brought a package up today, a box of soups and crackers.

There are many different types of GF crackers on the market now. Unfortunately, my favorite, Dr Kracker, seems to have gone out of business. I ordered several new ones, thinking they'd be fun to try while I rest up. I tried Crunchmasters (love the name) Multi-seed crackers. They're quite good; I'll order again.

Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned it, I am SORE!

Continued vibes for BK's car and vibes for all of us.

TTFN.

Sore-free vibes for Jeanne.

Well, the news isn't horrifying and would be even less horrifying if I hadn't wasted $180 at Jiffy Lube, which is exactly what I did. It's going to come in, with the smog check, at around $430. Turns out not the alternator at all, but the coolant leaking out through a faulty hose and the heat valve broken. That was most of it.

Not sure when the car will be ready - could be late today, could be tomorrow. If it's late today, I'll probably have to Uber there.

Spoke too soon - they called back and the rear brakes need pads - I knew that was coming, but hoped to do it another time, but if I wait they'll go down to the roters. So, 400 has become 600.

Not great, bk, but I guess it could be a lot worse.

Not bad for a car repair.....

You are right DR TCB Mr Johnny Crawford was also in it.

I'm a bit apprehensive. I received a call from the Social Office that my arrest is imminent because of fraud on my SS account.....so I've been watching out the window for the Feds.....and my account has been suspended.

Can't you pay off the fraud with gift cards, JRand? That's what they told me to do.

I received the renewal for the community theater tickets for next year. I didn't ask for any refunds for all the shows that were canceled. I was just going to let that money go, since I knew they had staff to pay, etc. I was so glad that they credited the unused tickets to me.

I also have tickets for the Broadway series. I was not going to let that money go. That wouldn't have gone to the tours that had to cancel; it would have gone to the university.

The last show we saw was Fiddler on the Roof, when Elmore's friend was the conductor. That seems like such a long time ago.

The local season starts in October. Surely it will be safe to go by then!

Wish I knew if the car was going to be ready today. I'd walk over if I knew in advance enough.

In case there are tater tots fans out there. I would modify the recipe slightly, use real garlic instead of powdered.

There were two shootings today in San Antonio. One on an overpass, the other at the airport relatively nearby. Don’t know if they’re related but the airport was on lockdown for a while. An officer shot and killed the gunman who had way too much ammo on him. Scary stuff.

Well, I'm off to my mom's to play cards. We normally play on Fridays, but Saturday is my niece's birthday and my mom wants tomorrow to get her house ready for it, so we're playing cards tonight.

Be back later.

Back to the new Godfather III. It's different, but it's still nowhere in the same league as I or II.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** April 15, 2021, 06:17:11 PM »

The opera scene is still the best thing about the movie with the music swelling as a series of murders take place. It's the same as Gregory Hines' tap dance in Cotton Club.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** April 15, 2021, 06:18:40 PM »

Diane Keaton is the best thing in the cast, because she's not like anyone else or everyone else, so her emotions real true and her behavior is more natural.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** April 15, 2021, 06:24:28 PM »

This edit is better. Sofia Coppola is in it a lot less, and while she still irritates, she's a little less toxic. The plot is still a bit of a mess with too many strands and not enough of it interesting enough to make you want to tie them all together. The music from Carmine Coppola and Nino Rota is superb. Some of the supporting cast is great: Eli Wallach, Donal Donnelly, Talia Shire, even George Hamilton.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** April 15, 2021, 06:25:27 PM »

And the ending is different.
