Thursday afternoon greetings! I slept, for me, quite late today. My book group is having a potluck dinner tonight, for which I assembled lasagna yesterday. Looking forward to seeing my friends.

I'm up, I'm up - just about eight hours of sleep.

That would definitely be worse

I could hardly believe this myself when I heard it, first hand, from my director friend the other day:

He and another friend were out driving somewhere and they stopped at a store for something. My friend (the driver) waited in the car while the other got out and went inside and did his stuff. When he came back out to the parking lot, he opened the passenger side door and got in, announcing, "okay, I'm all set now!" The driver looked over in a state of alarm, which was probably nothing compared with what the friend felt as he realized he had gotten into the wrong car.

Everyone was lucky that day. No one freaked out or pulled a gun or anything. Bumbling apologies were made and the situation was quickly if shakily rectified.

But ..... I can't even imagine. Can't. Even. Imagine.

That reads like your typical urban legend, so it's nice for a change when you get told something by someone who's 100% reliable and trustworthy. about something that literally just happened to them.

And it's what can happen when said person is driving the new car they've only had for a few weeks, so that the other friend, far from being acclimated to it himself, is looking for what he "assumes" is that new car, in that new color...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #34 on:** July 18, 2019, 11:01:39 AM »

Okay, back to work again.

PIPPIN, if you must know. And you must, you must.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #35 on:** July 18, 2019, 11:01:49 AM »

And then I must feed some cats.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** July 18, 2019, 11:08:29 AM »

And then I must get ready to return to OZ.

You know. That son of a bitch.

Which BTW looked pretty good last night, and it's performed very well. But if I were Mr. Producer, I would have thrown a few more dollars at a couple of the special effects and had them look spectacular instead of passable.

The woman who parked in-between the store entrance & an identical car was not all that surprised when I jumped into her passenger seat. Fortunately she began laughing while her young daughter was startled & confused

BK and others might have seen this already, but just in case:

Someone posted the link to another L.A. film on YouTube. It's one I hadn't seen, a corporate thing from 1954 -- "This is Los Angeles, Your Blue Chip Market" -- but there's nearly a half hour of it so there are a number of interesting locations covered even though it's well before my time there. I could only skim it, will have to watch thoroughly later.

I was perusing DR GEORGE's coin collection....nice stuff.

Thanks, Jrand. A lot of the Canadian coins are fairly current and I have them just because they're Canadian coins. But I think I can slowly integrate the pennies into US circulation without any trouble.

George · « **Reply #41 on:** July 18, 2019, 12:05:49 PM »

Years ago, I overheard someone say "You can't devalue the penny." Makes sense to me.

A high school friend is in Portland visiting her brother. She is on her way here to spend the afternoon with us. Joining her will be her 99 year old mother, her daughter, and granddaughter. Four generations. I wish we had a four generation family.

When my niece was born, her dad's side got a picture of five, count 'em, five generations! Granted, that was 35 years ago and the two oldest have since died (and her dad, but not because of age), but it was my niece, her dad and aunt, her grandmother, her great-grandmother and her great-great-grandmother.

This could be very interesting..... or not. Actually, considering the story, he could use, "Live and Let Die."

I pulled something similar when I was a wee tyke. My brother Macbeth and my cousins Judy and Jeanne had gone to a movie and we were waiting outside the Paramount theatre for my uncle to pick us up. A car pulled up, I thought it was my uncle's, opened the door to the back seat, climbed in and said, "It's about time you got here." My uncle pulled up just behind the car and I hastily withdrew.
