I did not know that Vortman cookies were made in Canada, or that they made vanilla wafers.

[Rodzinski]

DR Rodzinski have Canadians stopped crossing the border to buy gas?

Not that I know of.

Have you noticed any other tensions?

On a local chat board some people want to raise a Canadian flag next to an American one at our community to show support. Others argue against this.

[Rodzinski]

Rodzinski I expect your border town to be different considering children there go to school in Canada.

Lot of dual citizens here and Canadians who depend on coming here for cheaper package delivery. A few ornery crackpots, but this is the rare rural but left-leaning community.

[Jane]

FOUR!

Maybe not put up a flag at all

Is that packages from the US or around the world?

FOUR!

Now THAT'S a page turn photo!

[Jane]

I know.  I want them all.

[Rodzinski]

I guess I did see some signs offering cash discounts per liter of gas, so I don’t know if that’s in reaction to Canadians boycotting here. Canadian gas is so expensive. But if they were to boycott for any length of time, it would absolutely destroy the 4 gas stations here.

Gratuitous post 100!

[Jane]

I hope the gas stations survive this.

I got Wicked from the library today.

[John G.]

I may watch it tonight.

[John G.]

Jane. I'm glad your headache is gone.

[Jane]

Thank you.  I was very relieved not to have to suffer one more night.

[Jane]

Keith took photos.  I will see if I can downsize one of them.

[Jane]

We went with fun red knobs on the new oven and cooktop.

[John G.]

I also got Lin-Manuel Miranda's score for Mufasa from the library. It's all of 17 minutes long. That's odd for a movie billed as a musical.

[Jrand74]

Glad you're feeling better DR JANE.

[Jrand74]

Very interesting MR BK......

Back from errand. We're gonna announce the new book tomorrow or Friday, as soon as we can get the page up for ordering, although I may just announce it anyway, just to let everyone know what it is.

[John G.]

Cool beans.

[John G.]

I got two Billy Wilder films from the library today: Irma la Douce and The Front Page. I didn't like Irma the only time I saw it, because I thought it should have been the musical. But I always like The Front Page, though it's been 40 years since I last saw this version. We'll see if I have the same response to both films.

When I was in my twenties, when we attended a wedding, my old relatives used to elbow me and laugh and say: "You're next!"

So I started doing the same thing to them - at funerals.

Oh DR Jrand74, you are such a CARD!!   

[ChasSmith]

Vixmom, this was one of those (wonderful) rare instances in which the storm was to the south of us, and we got:  nothing!

Mostly America, I’d say.

Alison Martino (a.k.a. "Vintage Los Angeles" on FB) posted a couple of postcards of the Skytrails Restaurant & Bar at Van Nuys Airport back in the day. I posted that I think I have another image of it, and when I find it, I'll post it later. So, since it was bugging me that I couldn't just put my finger on it, I went off on a hunt that took me to three or four likely places it could possibly be. And wouldn't you know it, one of those places revealed something I'd been torturing myself looking for over the past few MONTHS, an absolutely joyous discovery. But then wouldn't you know it, that thing in turn sent me off in another direction for something else that had also been on my mind, and I eventually found that stuff. But along the way, I spotted a little stack of things I'd been putting off going through for the past few YEARS, so I set that on my desk to look through as soon as I was done with the everything else. I finally got to that, and in so doing, discovered something I'd been thinking was lost YEARS AGO, which, along with a few other little goodies in that stack, totally made my afternoon. It was a heady couple of hours, I can assure you, and I even got to put off some musical stuff I absolutely have to do. So the hell with it, I'll get to that tomorrow.

The only bad thing? I still haven't found the very first thing I went looking for.

But hope reigns eternal. Right?

[Jane]

Glad you're feeling better DR JANE.

Thank you.  My cough is worse though.
