If I sort my iTunes library by date added, Ethel Merman's disco album sidles up next to Bach Cantatas, Volume 1. That seems about right.

DR Jeanne, we have a pretty decent supermarket here, but it struggles a bit in the off-season months when the Canadian folk aren’t here staying in their beach cottages. We drive down to Bellingham, Wash., and load up at Costco, then at the border coming back through Canada, they make us pledge that we’re not stopping in Canada on our way home. We can also shop at the town in Canada just next to Point Roberts, where the in-laws live, but then you get into having to declare things you bought or not being allowed to bring raw meats and certain veggies. It’s all a bit absurd, and mostly we don’t get hassled, but the border guards certainly have the right to give one a hard time if they choose.

Chesterton is W A Y north.....I am afraid it's too much of a drive for me.....but I am sure DR RODZINSKI's sister will be great!

Yes, too far. But I know the Hoosier theatre community will be there in spirit.

DR Rodkinsky, with only three restaurants to choose from I hope they are all excellent.

Alas no. Two basic pubs, and a decent lunch cafe. Covid really hurt businesses here. But we can go eat in Vancouver any time!

BK dodged a bullet. The next step if that water laser cannon didn’t work is “we have to dig up your sewer line as a tree root is blocking it”

Ginny, sorry the Hoosiers beat your Wolverines today!

Never having heard of Point Roberts, Washington before, I wonder why that little piece of land connected to Canada was kept as part of (or given to) the US, and not made part of Canada.

That's what I was thinking!

I wondered if it was as unknown in Washington as it is in every other state! I certainly didn’t know it existed until I started dating my wife who grew up next door. If you follow the border of the U.S. across the top of the map, you’ll see it crosses a tiny bit of peninsula to the west. The US and England were sorting out who got what territory, agreed on a parallel as the dividing line, then someone realized it intersected a little bit of land, and the U.S. was like, we’re keeping that! Whether for fishing rights or strategic interests, they’ve held onto it. Local Canadians come over for cheaper gas and cheaper mail.

Page eight needs to get the HELL out of here. Why is everyone just sitting there like so much fish?

One does have to wonder.

Once again, no TCB for two days and George is down a rabbit hole.

The ending of Ride the High Country is one of my top five endings to a movie and intensely moving.

bk · « **Reply #228 on:** March 05, 2023, 11:58:41 PM »

My favorite ending to a movie will always be City Lights.

Are we going for the damn gold?

Or not?

If I had a little help from my friends it could happen easily, but noooo.

Not when there's a rabbit hole to be down.

We're not that far.

I can see it just around the river bend.

Or some bend.

I don't know.

I don't care.

I just want to get off this damn page.
