I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

DR JANE I found this on my news feed this morning.

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/tropicana-hotel-imploded-67-years-114632521


Thanks for that link, Jrand. 

The feelings by the former showgirls about the implosion were quite touching.

Listening to the Cry Baby recording. I really enjoy this score. Very sad one of the creators died from covid.

I can't believe it took that many tries to get the word. ::)

Now that we are home Keith will likely return to doing Wordle in the afternoons.  I'll have to wait to know how many it took him.  Because of him, I do understand your frustration.

Got a surprise check in the mail yesterday, one I'd completely forgotten to look for. It was from the US Treasury and I had no idea what it could be until I saw the notation "JURY DUTY". It was for $91.42 - the $50 for one day served, plus mileage. Incredible. The feds really do pay, and that's whether you have a job or not. And to think that could have been several hundred smackers if I'd been selected to sit on the case. That sure beats the local/state level, which is $zero except for those who would be docked pay and get some reimbursement for that.

Congrats on the extra money.

Did I miss DR John G.'s repor on how the Christmas Cake recipe turned out?

Cake smelled great while baking. It is now wrapped in cheesecloth. In a week I start pouring frangelico on it and continue weekly for a few months or so.

Darn, now I can't have any.  What happened to using Brandy ;)

Basically it was already gone.  You can see that only the shell was left to implode.

We did thank you, and made up for my difficult beginning.  While I still hurt it is tolerable.

I'm up, I'm up - was in bed by one and up at eight - seven hours. Ironically, no noise. Go know.
