The best Graeter’s flavor was Graeter Tuna.

As for the Gatsby one, while it looks interesting I have no desire to read anything more about the Fitzgeralds.

I had to pick up a prescription today. I never know what they’re going to cost. Well, it was whopping 4 cents. I have to enjoy that before the penny goes the way of Doris Day.

Bruce, the restaurant owned by Spielberg's mother was/is on Pico near Doheny, maybe half a block down from the Beverlywood Bakery.

That kind of deductible sounds very nice.

I can't wait for being on Medicare in 6 or 7 weeks.  Hoping Medicare's not changed too much by then.

George, my Canadian mother in law is an old German woman so not really like that clip, but she does get insanely worried when we travel.

Did she always worry as much before you moved close by?

Here a bit o’ fun. Mrs Rodz’s  car stinks.

Like garbage.

She keeps it immaculate, but it is kept outside and I did find evidence of rodent activity under the hood. Cleaned that out, changed cabin air filter, sprayed Lysol inside, took it to car wash, and … it still smells. Look up Audi AC smell on the web and this is a thing, apparently. Moisture around the condenser leading to bacteria. No real easy solution.

Oh no!  This is awful.

Jane, I find this part of Canada isn’t so heavily accented. There a few things they say differently like “pass-ta” instead of “pasta.” But nothing rubbing off on the kids.

They do have to learn/unlearn spellings like “favourite” and “colour” etc.

Interesting, and explains the mild accent of many people I know from Canada.

Wow.  I have had free but never just a few pennies.  I also have a prescription that went up to over $400 last time I picked it up.  I'm hoping it had to do with the beginning of the new year and will drop.  If not I'll have to find an alternative.

Have we ever noted the subject of this movie COYOTE VS. ACME, in which Wile E. Coyote (of Road Runner fame) sues the Acme corporation?  (It's showing up in the news today because there's been some news about it being acquired from Warner Bros.)

The plot (from wikipedia) sounds intriguing, though the movie  may be in distribution limbo.


"After every product made by the Acme Corporation has backfired on Wile E. Coyote in his pursuit of the Road Runner, a down-and-out billboard human attorney represents Wile E. in his lawsuit to sue Acme. A growing friendship between Wile E. Coyote and his lawyer motivates their determination to win the court case, as it pits them against the intimidating boss of Wile E.'s lawyer's former law firm, who now represents Acme"
