Bruce if you had really been injured you could have sued them on their homeowners insurance. Save the email you sent them.

I hope they apologize.

I just got back from picking up some music from someone, and it's a jungle out there with people doing their panic shopping a day ahead of the sn*wst*rm.

The grocery stores must be shouting "Eureka!" since they haven't had one of these boosts in a while.

Indeed DR CHAS SMITH.

I just rewatched the 2017 NTL version of FOLLIES.

And I still am horrified by the popping eyes and clacking dentures of Imelda Staunton.....why is she allowed onstage?

Popping Eyes and Clacking Dentures - That could be the title of, well, something.

She’s horrible in that too.

It’s 70 outside now. Tomorrow’s high will be 42.

I did manage to get my olive tree and a few other plants covered. It wasn’t easy in the wind. I just hope they stay covered.

DR JOHN G I didn't realize Huxley wrote that version - I was confused.

Rhythm on the River - an earlier movie Rhythm on the Range starred Bing Crosby and was the first BIG film for Frances Farmer at Paramount. Crosby is from Washington as was Frances. They became great friends....and remained so for life.

In the late 1960's Crosby arranged for Frances to become a co-spokesperson for Minute Maid Orange Juice.

At the BIG final meeting one of the MM executives made the mistake of asking Frances what Tyrone Power was really like. Frances was not amused - made an off color remark and then said: "Gentlemen, I do not care to sell your God Damned Orange Juice!" And then she walked out.

Was Tyrone Power specifically a sore spot or she just didn’t want those sorts of questions?

DR Rodzinski, the evil queen and her desire to eat her two grandchildren are the strange tag to Charles Perrault's telling of La Belleis Dormant. I haven't read the Perrault stories in years, but if my memory is correct, the children are conceived while the Beauty is still asleep and unaware that her rescue is also her rapist.

Oh interesting! In the kids book, he wakes her and they have the family, then the attempts at eating begin. The wicked queen is eventually devoured in a tub of snakes.

TOD:
I think it was the very first time I set foot in Brooklyn. I was crossing the intersection at Atlantic Ave and Flatbush. Very busy, huge intersection. It had just started to rain. Midway across Atlantic, I realized I was going the wrong way AND against the light that had just turned. I then pivoted and immediately slipped and fell flat on my face. With a fleet of cars coming on green! Luckily the lead car in my lane saw me go down. I scrambled to my feet and dodged my way back to the sidewalk from whence I came. Nobody even honked, which was nice.
