    Maybe she had to tone it down for her tiara to fit right, but I can't give her beehive more than a 6.

    School and college sports

    I used to do some work in an old school building that still had its gym. The main hoops were orange, but the old practice hoops on the sidewalls were red. The school was built in 1932. Mr. Naismiths original hoop was a peach basket nailed to the wall. He later figured out that it would be...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I still use that for a standard greeting, but for some folks I open with how's the grandkids or something like that. Odds are better that you're just going to hear a little bragging instead of something regarding internal organs or leakage.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There was a recent one hereabouts where the victim was instructed to go to Walmart and purchase gift cards. The scam varies between previously unknown unpaid IRS bills to bail money for family members. Senior citizens seem to be the targets for that one. I am considering putting Walmart gift...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My grandparents bathroom had a wall heater for when you took a bath. No central heat in the house except a gravity wood furnace in the basement with two vents in the main part of the house. It was generally hotter than the 3rd circle in the living room and kitchen to keep the bedrooms a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We have started on Bosch on Amazon. It has been on the list to try for a long while and since we are between shows at the moment it moved into the rotation. We are really enjoying it.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    My father had a "handheld" calculator in the 70s that was about the size of a block of cream cheese. I have no idea where he got it because they were very expensive and he really didn't have that much need for it. It would run on batteries or a power adapter that plugged in. I do remember that...

    I found out recently that Fibber Magee's closet is no longer a frame of reference that most people relate to. It loses the effect when you have to explain it to people. 'Tain't funny Magee.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I have often wished stores would put up signs bluntly telling people to pay and move on. No waiting until your purchases are rung up and only then getting out your money or better yet, only then start digging in your duffle bag for your checkbook. It shouldn't come as a surprise that you will be...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Don't know anything about the show and darned little about Louis CK. I've read something of his behavior, and yes it is despicable. Over the top public outrage is an almost irresistible vehicle for people to boast of their own virtue and the scurrilous nature of the offender months or years...

    The USPS. I bought a couple of old topographical maps on Ebay. They were shipped in a tube suitable for the purpose and should have arrived in good condition. Unfortunately, either they were run over by a mail truck or were used in a light saber competition in transit. Now my formerly near...
