Well, finally.

$2.95

Now, please keep going in that direction.

Not in Washington state. ::)

Keith dropped my off at Trader Joe's while he filled the tank yesterday.  I have no idea what we paid.

Trader Joe's didn't have what I wanted so I walked over to See's Candy and purchased a few pieces of dark chocolate, chocolate buttercream.

Back from church. We distributed 132 meals today, but the line was so long that we gave out dozens more. Thankfully we had food.

That's terrific!

The Dorati Nutcracker is fantastic and available as a two-CD set in fab Mercury stereo sound. YouTube has the Nutcracker Suites by Irving but not the complete.

Dorati did two recordings of The Nutcracker for Mercury; the original mono recording is only on that recent "complete Dorati" set from Mercury, which also has his complete mono Sleeping Beauty. The second recording with the London Symphony was in stereo. Mercury stole the artwork from the first recording.

Any preference on which was the better recording musically, DR Elmore?

But on a happier note (C-natural):

Statue of Henrietta Lacks to replace Robert E. Lee monument in Roanoke, Virginia

The Roanoke native died of cancer in 1951, but her cells lived on and helped lead to groundbreaking medical treatments.



While I think this is very nice it seems to me better choices could have been made.

This article was published last year, but it's still a more uplifting article than the previous one.

True.

I have watched all three parts of the Lucy Worsley Agatha Christie "Mystery Queen" series on PBS.

I have enjoyed it, for the most part, although it covered details I already knew about Christie.

That said, I took great exception to a segment in part 3:  Worsley discusses the novel "And Then There Were None".  She then went into the controversy over the play title for the same story.  That play begins "Ten Little..." but the original third word was the "N" word.  Worsley goes into detail about how horrible a word it was as a reference to black people in the U.S.  She then says that when the "N" word was changed, in the U.S. version, to "Indians", that was just as bad a slur toward Native Americans.

The thing is, she didn't really tell the "whole truth":  The "N" word is how the British colonialists referenced the natives of India.  That was the original reference for the play.  When the title was changed, it was "corrected" to refer to the natives of India.  Neither word referenced anything in "the colonies", although both were, or would become, offensive here.

A British program about a British author by a British historian, but they just couldn't state factual information on this matter.

Oh, golly!  If I had a Trader Joe's AND a See's within walking distance, I would be SO HAPPY!

Listening to a cast of thousands read Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!

It’s hilarious. Makes me want to see the movie again.

;D  I am happy.  I would go to See's more often than TJ's.  I rarely have time to do both while Keith is filling the gas tank.

Fellow Travelers kept up the drama until the end.

I liked the show and its interpretation of the book.  Most of its success was because of the writing and the two leads.

That's such fascinating history, Ron!  Thanks for sharing it.

I have been involved in three productions of "Ten Little Indians".  One of them was with a mostly British cast (a NATO southern Europe production).  Most of what I related was made clear to us by both the British director and other actors in the play, all of whom knew how the terminology was used and why.  Oddy, even in the 1970s, the printed plays all bore the "N" word in the title.   We adverstished as "Indians" and the figures we were provided were Indian Raj characters.

I'm partial to his mono Minneapolis recording, which I got through the Columbia Record Club around 1963. I also like his mono Sleeping Beauty, which was stunningly produced in a spectacular packaging.
