When I was 18 and only had one cat we often ate at the table together. I pulled up a tall stepstool for her to sit at. She seemed to like it.

Watching a PBS special from the library called Broadway Musical: A Jewish Legacy. It's good, but, like too many other specials, they have excellent historical footage and then cut away from it to some talking head with little to say.

Jrand, I could not agree with you more about Jack Carter - couldn't stand him - abrasive and completely unfunny.

I guess that's why he had a long, successful career.

Off to go dancing.

Enjoy your fun exercise.

Many people in the show business have had long and successful careers - doesn't mean I have to like them. There are many stand-up comics from Carter's era that I can't stand. It happens.

Finished with one motion picture and one of the two Zoom rehearsals.

While at Uncle Bernie's deli, I got food for another small meal. Got a pint of chicken salad and two pieces of rye bread and made a sandwich and it was great. Now having some potato salad and listening to Prokofiev's sixth symphony, then I'll watch another movie, then have the second Zoom, then who knows?

We have friends that live close to Uncle Bernie's Deli and don't like to eat there.

The one time we ate at Uncle Bernie's Deli we enjoyed our brunch.

Good night, friends.

Back from bacon and eggs and a half-a-pancake at Uncle Bernie's deli in Encino, and then a visit to a good used CD store, where I got some very cheap used CDs - all classical. They also stamp cards for your purchases so that after ten squares are stamped you get a free whatever. I had two cards that were almost full, so today filled both and I saved quite a bit of money.

Nice! I love stamp cards. Red Wagon, the local burger joint, has a stamp card and Tuesdays are double-stamp day!

For your consideration:

Oh, my goodness!! My mom needs to get this for her cat, Henry! He ALWAYS has to be on the table when we're playing cards!

Why not just give her cat his own chair

Henry doesn't want a chair...he wants to be up on the table. My mom actually has a short cardboard box that he likes to lie in, and it helps in keeping him from lying right in front of someone where the cards need to be.

I spent a lovely day in northern Arizona with good friends enjoying wildflowers, insects, and birds. Our best sighting was a water snake.

Wae-Ling was there. We all wore N95 masks in the car. I insisted on that.

Yesterday I filled my gas tank in a virtually empty gas station around the corner from my house for $2.99 a gallon

Laura · « **Reply #81 on:** August 21, 2021, 08:58:26 PM »

I hope everyone on the right coast stays safe from Henri.

Are they pronouncing it Henry, or Ohn-ree?

vixmom · « **Reply #82 on:** August 21, 2021, 08:59:27 PM »

Today Vixdad had to travel 7 miles from home to find a gas station that wasn’t out of regular

vixmom · « **Reply #83 on:** August 21, 2021, 08:59:50 PM »

And he paid just under $4 a gallon

Crazed panic shoppers?

This afternoon’s storm maps showed the brunt of the storm looking to go straight through our little hamlet

Those of us who remember having no electricity for up to 2 weeks or more during “Superstorm Sandy”, as well as various hurricanes over the years know well the pain of having a generator and not being able to get gasoline because the stations have no electricity to run their pumps

Yikes!

I can't imagine being out of power for 2 weeks!

George · « **Reply #89 on:** August 21, 2021, 09:18:13 PM »

I can't remember exactly, but I think the longest that I've ever gone without power is three days. It's been a long time since that happened, but I do feel fortunate that that's the longest it's been.
