I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

BK is making me remember my couple of places in L.A. that (1) had no A/C (the little 1930s or 1940s building in Beverly Hills) and (2) the in-wall unit that should have overpowered the place but in fact just wasn't any good by the time I was living there (the little apartment in Palms).

[Spoiler:  Years later, they finally installed A/Cs in the B.H. place.]

But yep, miserable in the hot times of the year. And the Valley has more of those times than my side of the hill did.

Glad to hear that the show went so well.

I would love a few videos.

Has anyone ever had breakfast at The Waffle House?

Quite often after a night of imbibing. Their food has the grease your body needs.

I just don’t like their hash whites. They’re always under cooked.

Congratulations to BK and everyone involved for the success of Kitzerland 128!  Such fun to read the write-up in the Notes and see the photos!

BK wrote in last night's Notes: "In the writing of the notes, I came to the sudden realization that I do not care for page seven."

It's great that after suppressing your feelings about page seven for so long, you finally could give in and let out these hidden feelings.

I may have noticed the hash whites once or twice, but I'm always so glad to get hash anything that the doneness doesn't matter too much to me.

(After moving to Connecticut, I was starved for real hash browns because all of the diners here served "home fries", not the shredded variety. It wasn't until Danbury got its first Denny's that we began seeing real hash browns in the area. We were depraved on account of we were deprived.)

So, Waffle House:  We probably ate at them a few times when we moved to Florida in the 1960s, but I truly RE-discovered them on car trips to and from Ohio in the 1990s-2000s. The hashes might be a little white, the bacon is greasy, but everything manages to be totally delicious. My only gripe is that they only served margarine or whatever kind of fake butter it was, so you never got the buttery goodness on your breakfast that your tongue expected. I haven't been to one in a few years, and I don't know if that's still the case.

I've been finding that McDonald's hash browns are quite tasty and very consistent. 

But at least in Manhattan, they aren't the low-price item one used to associate with the concept of "fast food."

I sent my building manager an email about this carton in the lobby, asking for contact inform yopung men livcing in 1E. She sent me an email saying that she cannot give out tenant information. So, I sent an email back apologizing if there was a misunderstanding. It was my understanding the men lioving there were working for the building. I'm now waiting for her response.

We lived on the East Coast for 13, 14 years without A/C.  It made LA seem like a breeze not having A/C.

I never watched Fraggle Rock when it was on the air. It may have been on HBO.  Anyway, a live stage version directed by John Tartaglia of Avenue Q is coming in February. Sounds fun.

Surprised at how much I have accomplished today. Did dishes in addition to weeding. Filled out some paperwork and listened to the latest Bach lecture. I’m up to lesson 15. It’s not even halfway through.

Temp in the house has dropped to seventy-nine. Before I leave for the bank, I'll turn on the air and see if it's working properly as it sometimes does during the morning and daytime hours.

Since July 25 I've driven back and forth from Florida, then Brookyn  and Manhattan a couple of times, then to Philelphia, DC, back to Manhatran and finally back home around midnight.
