The Era -- Day By Day
Fortunate the man who has never had to deal with a "Honey" in real life. Realizing things as they really are is always a bitter pill when you look back at the clues that were there all along and one was too "goofy" (pun intended) to smell the coffee. Women obviously have to deal with the same...- ChiTownScion

The Era -- Day By Day
"The Judge" was a very prominent radio personality in the '30s, and the arch enemy of Father Coughlin. A mob of Coughlinites and Christian Fronters tried to break up one of his rallies at Madison Square Garden in 1939, and were beaten into submission by Witnesses armed with heavy canes for the...- ChiTownScion

A line between "setting things right" for his pal Goofy in the anticipated marriage, and the motive of unabashed payback. When will Harold cross it- or has he already crossed it?- ChiTownScion

You've commented in the past about how Charlie Brown in "Peanuts" during its glory years was Schulz's way of illustrating the reality that childhood is not the sugar-coated stuff of adult recollection but entails a lot of real pain and cruelty. And I found that profoundly insightful. Myself- I...- ChiTownScion

The Era -- Day By Day
I doubt that they were the "happiest days of your life" for most kids. I remember immature snotty contemporaries, arbitrary and capricious exercises of authority by adults, and bullying from both quarters. Were there good times of innocent fun? Yeah, but they were the exception, not the rule...- ChiTownScion

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Finally got to watch, "Being the Ricardos" today. Overall, I'm a bit less critical than Lizzie is of the film, but I concur as to the phone call of exoneration from Hoover that never was. Perhaps they wanted to tie things up with a neat happy ending within the aforesaid one-week perimeter. It...- ChiTownScion

I've wondered why there is always talk (and a questionable "actual project") to recreate a "Titanic 2" when travelling transatlantic in a 1912 styled ship would be, to put it diplomatically, primitive. If one really wanted to "relive the glory days" before mega cruise ships packed with the...- ChiTownScion

And when a certain someone finds out about this? Despite protest from all quarters that things really did remain platonic, you'll observe why there are damned good reasons why he's called, "Goofy." If Horace Horsecollar were quarantined inside of a barn with Clarabelle for a fortnight, do you...- ChiTownScion

By next July Santa Fe would add two hours to this 39 3/4 hour schedule due to heavy wartime demand. The El Cap's main competitor was the Union Pacific Challenger, another Chicago- LA all- coach run. Personally, I'd save that five buck premium change and put it toward a lower berth in an open...- ChiTownScion

Terms Which Have Disappeared
We're not quite in the Tiny House Dwellers category, but we did retire from a four bedroom, 2.1 bath, fully furnished basement suburban home on half an acre (Lake County Illinois) to a 3 bedroom 3.1 bath townhome in the PNW. Our bedroom, the room that serves as a combination library for me & a...- ChiTownScion

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Unless you are a parent, grandparent, or doting aunt/ uncle, there's really no need to pack up a preschooler and drop a few grand to Do the Mouse in either Anaheim or Orlando. We did it when my son was four... and once was enough. But evidently there's a Disney Corp approved phrase that is meant...- ChiTownScion

I suggest that you research the project beforehand. There are a number of components beside LED lights and capacitor for each car, and I'll be "led by the hand" (likely after the holidays) in doing my cars by an old pro. I'm anything but an expert- this really is terra incognita for me- but I...- ChiTownScion
