DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your very interesting dream indicates that you would travel far for nourishment - for your body OR your brain.

You consider being lost just an opportunity to explore - but you visiting someplace once is usually enough.

First of all one of lights on the 4 lane highway was flashing red instead operating, so everyone was treating it as a 4-way stop.....almost everyone.

Then inside WalMart I had my paper towels and bacon bits in my cart and was moseying around looking at file folders and computers when I heard all kinds of yelling and commotion from the front of the store.

Cussing and carrying on.....ending with "Stop her!  Stop that girl!"

And a young girl in her teens wearing black jeans and white sweatshirt ran down the aisle a few shelves from me.  I watched her as she headed for the automotive dept.

One of the checkers was telling me a story about homeless folks and how they had wandered into the store asking for shoes and clothes....

There were lots of groups of top brass employees in confabs all over the store as I checked out.....

I feel bad for the homeless.

I feel especially bad that they have to beg for essentials.

I also feel bad that far too many organizations that purport to help the homeless have an unusually high overhead meaning that only a small percentage of anyone's monetary contributions actually help the homeless.

I just heard the chorus backing Doris Day on "Happy Talk" sing "I'm a lucky cuss."

From George:

Quote
Pronunciation note: In the humorous poem "The Prime of Life" published in the anthology The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories, Asimov rhymes his name thusly: "Why, mazel tov, it's Asimov". In his comments to the poem Asimov wrote that originally it was "Why, stars above, it's Asimov", and when someone* suggested to use "mazel tov" instead, Asimov accepted this as a significant improvement.

That was interesting.

My friend and former co-worker, Gina, sadly passed away some years ago.

Here she is, onstage at the Metropolitan Opera, at age 12, playing the (silent) role of the son to Renata Scotto's Butterfly. (She was quite tiny)

Below is what she looked like when I knew her.




Nice photos.  How did she end up playing the silent boy?

I had a day yesterday of watching various things on TV...mostly movies on Amazon Prime.

One movie, "Evil Under the Sun", depressed me when I am generally uplifted by it.  This time, it was the harsh realization that all the major players, except Maggie Smith, are now dead.  Gone.  Poof.

It got me to wondering whether they didn't want to go or whether they went on to a better place and left the rest of us behind.



I hope we have Maggie Smith for a good while longer.  She is still working.  I find your wondering very interesting.  I hope they are in a better place.

We have someone here servicing our AC, heater, and I don't know what else.  All is fine, he is just cleaning and checking everything.

I don't know that story, DR Jane. I'd imagine there was some kind of a connection.
