When Nancy Dussault was doing public presentations of a show of Skip's at Seattle Rep, late 1990s, it was interesting when walking with her on the street that people passing by would clearly look and know who she is, but Seattle folk would never interrupt her when she was in conversation with other people.

Was this ASS in capital letters thing already going on on HHW back in 2013?  I  looked back at some old emails, and when I was referring to a jackass, I somehow wrote it as jackASS. 

The HHW influence, perhaps?

TOD

I love a chef's salad, and I can make a superb one but haven't done so in a couple of years. (I really have to make a list and shop in advance for that.) In my last couple of years in L.A. I somehow got onto them, and I went around to various coffee shops trying the chef's salad. I don't think I ever had a disappointing one. I specifically remember loving it at Ben Frank's.

Love a wedge salad, but just thousand for me, thanks.

Something I really haven't had in years is a taco salad, but I seem to never be at a place where I'd think of ordering one.

Lately at home, I've taken pleasure in just throwing together what would usually be called a "garden salad" at a restaurant.

Oh. BK mentioned spinach salads. Yes to that, but it has indeed been a long time.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I was very proud of myself for figuring out how to "cast" from my phone to my television, so was able to watch Drat! on the big screen.

That's pretty cool, Singdaw!  I know my phone can do it, but I've never had to because I have my TV hooked to my computer as the monitor.

The workmen arrived yesterday to do the deed. They first removed the toilet in the master bath and discovered that the new doesn't "fit" with the existing fittings. So, different models need to be ordered. So we are back down to just one bathroom, which isn't the end of the world, but still annoying. It's a bit of a trek in the middle of the night.

I worked on Penn and Teller as a writer/producer for the entire first season, which is when we introduced Dr. Learly - I did three or four of those bits - I think the recycling bit was from a later season, though. I liked working on the show, and my voiceovers were the only ones Penn never changed or adjusted. And Teller was/is a huge Nudie Musical fan.

Watched more Fool Us - some of those tricks are beyond amazing, especially the ones that fool them. I love when the teen magicians fool them. I think it's still on the air? I don't like the second gal host nearly as much as the redhead of the earlier seasons.

Maybe after the notes, I'll try writing a couple of pages at least or at least get the research done.

If that Penn and Teller thing is still going on, I might try to go up there and see it. Down there?

On the Screenpix service I watched a 1969 movie called Out Of It with a teenage Barry Gordon, Jon Voight, and Lada Edmund, Jr.

It was much of its time.....Barry drove 1969 Corvair convertible.  Filmed entirely on location in New York and surroundings.....maybe Long Island.

Well, this happened:

At least 1.7 million eggs recalled as CDC and FDA investigate multistate salmonella outbreak (https://www.nbcnews.com/health/recall/cdc-fda-eggs-salmonella-recall-rcna211610)

The outbreak has sickened 79 people across seven states*, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At least 21 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.

*Including Washington state! :o

Yup:

The brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs were distributed by the August Egg Company from Feb. 3 through May 15 to retailers in nine states — California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Nebraska, New Mexico, Illinois, Indiana and Wyoming, per the FDA.

It continues:

In an announcement issued Friday, the Hilmar, California-based distribution company recalled 1.7 million eggs, which have sell-by dates ranging from March 4 to June 19 and were sold at retailers including Walmart and Safeway, as well as under many different brands that can be seen here.

The last piece of our new apartment is the replacement of the toilets in the two bathrooms. The present ones are quite old, and, frankly, in need of replacing.

There are TWO bathrooms?   How have you kept a lid on this information? 

I have one-and-a-half bathrooms. ::)

I know. First world problems.    :)

One of my favorite "first world problems" is the one where the guy's having lower back problems from his wallet being too full.

I wish I had that problem!
