DR  FREDDIE I believe that was Karen's Talent Winning routine from the Miss Teen USA or something similar pageant....

She talked about it on a talk show many many years ago and they showed the tape.

John, I'm sorry you missed the bats.  They were not worth damaging your car.

My friends’ car. It was a big ‘un, built for Texas roads, not fording Texas rivers.

This from The Ed Sullivan Show is like nothing I recall ever seeing before. 

Karen Valentine (in 1963) lip syncs and dances to Eydie Gormé's recording of "Blame It On the Bossa Nova"

LOL, it is rather unusual but cute.

I didn't realize, or remember, she was a Miss Teen winner.

I agree.  I'm sure her personality had something to do with her winning.

An Alabama woman married to an Iranian immigrant says her family regrets supporting President Donald Trump and his aggressive immigration policies after ICE detained her husband over the weekend as part of a recent round-up of Iranian nationals.

They believed in his Trumps immigration policies and truly believed that only criminals were being detained.

And now they are caught in the trap.  I think the punishment is greater than the crime of ignorance.

DR JANE I agree her  personality was much more impressive than the routine she learned in Miss Ludie's basement in Sambastepol.

Made it to Austin. Waze said it would take 58 minutes to get here from Marble Falls. It took 95. I hate driving in this city.

It’s a mass wine tasting. I hope I don’t discover too much I have missed. I essentially finished the book this morning. It ended up being 27,000 words. I know I will have to cut.

The Humane Society is having fees waived on adoptions tomorrow. So Aunt Sassy will probably be getting a kitty.

Do you think her cat will prefer a kitten or an older cat?
