Listening to Collected Stories of William Faulkner. Some are silly and fun. Others are brutally ugly.

Thanks for the alert, John! Could be a reason to try to re-plug our Bat Out of Hell parody song, one of my favorites of the Jan Horvath parody vocals. (Also, recalling that in 2019 when Bat Out of Hell played in New York, $249 was considered a very high ticket price - look where prices have gone since then!)

Mirabile dictu! Last night I slept straight through the night: eight hours. I still cannot believe it.

That's wonderful, Larry!

DR George, I fortunately am not tempted by cream doughnuts.

And that's perfectly okay.

Today, I ate the Mango Tango doughnut (Voodoo's preferred spelling, not "donut"), and it was a lot better than I expected!

LOL, would you being adventurous?

I don't love mangos, but it really just looked so good! And it was (a Pacific Overtures reference

).

She wrote me a check, and by the time I got home she had her girl assistant call to tell me my services were no longer needed. The check did clear at least.

That was a relief. I hope you quickly found a better job.

Nope haha. Next job was worse!

Wow! Will there be memoirs?

Oh you didn’t know? It hasn’t been revealed yet, but BK’s latest book is the story of my life!

Mango Tango is also the name of my favorite sushi roll at our local spot.

George, what is the bottom right doughnut?

It's the Portland Cream:

Raised shell filled with Bavarian cream and topped with chocolate and decorated with a set of eyes.

I haven't had this one yet, but I love Bavarian cream-filled doughnuts.

Of course, another cream. You do like cream doughnuts

So, a couple of days ago, I was at the local Fred Meyer, and in front of their electronics section, they had some TVs set up on a counter, most of which were on sale.

George · « **Reply #113 on:** July 23, 2025, 04:42:08 PM »

They had a few that said "Display models 50% off." There was one front and center that had that sign on it. The regular price was $449.99, and the normal sale price was $309.99.

But when I asked, the 50% sale is off the base price of $449.99, which brought it down to $225 (plus tax), which is still a good price.

George · « **Reply #116 on:** July 23, 2025, 04:43:30 PM »

On a whim, I bought it! It's a 65-inch, 4K TV! Even though it's a display model and didn't come with a box, it did have the remote and user's manual.
