Yes, my friends in Portland have been telling me how bad the homeless situation is there.
L.A., San Francisco, New York, all terrible.

I have friends who would consider leaving if they didn't have children and grandchildren there.  Are your friends downtown or outside of the town?

Was that in the Talent fire a couple of years ago?

And it's getting worse than in previous years here in the Olympia area.

And sadly...'Ocean's 11' Actor Henry Silva Dead at 95: 'Our Hearts Are Broken'. :(

Henry Silva was "the last surviving star of the original Oceans 11 Movie," Dean Martin's daughter tweeted following the news of Silva's death.

I started watching THE PERILS OF PAULINE with Betty Hutton.  I remember seeing it as a second feature at the drive-in.  My memory was that it was pretty funny.  I must have been really drunk.  I was not amused.

And speaking of being drunk, I have been moaning and groaning so much about my hands that I passed right over my AA birthday.  On Wednesday, September 14, I have been sober for twenty-nine (29) years.
