    I'm sure everybody at the club has long suspected Priscilla is a freak if you could ever melt the ice. :D

    Your "perfect" films

    I know this may be taken as heresy but Lazlo is my least favorite character in that entire picture. He comes across as too perfect and in spite of his work, I take him as somewhat of an ass. He needed to struggle at least a little.

    Vintage neon signs

    We did stop for an ice cream. I had a hot fudge and caramel sundae which I consumed with the gusto of a hound dog. :D My wife, being a little more restrained, had a kid size berry something Blizzard. The arthritis is currently staying in remission. Her Austrian doctor is her hero.

    Now there's a marketing gimmick that should have caught on! :D

    I'll see your giggling idiot and raise you a couch jumping buffoon.

    Hotel fires were not a rare occurence years ago. When they happened, it usually involved a substantial death toll. Brick and concrete construction with firestops gave people a feeling of security even before sprinkler systems As far as air conditioning goes, even a young pup such as myself can...

    Vintage neon signs

    I went with my wife today to visit her arthritis doctor. This is the Dairy Queen in Iowa City, Iowa. Unchanged since it was built in the early '50's. The sign is fully functional. The sorry looking pics are cell phone shots of photos from the past inside the front window. The sun was very...

    Dolores Moran. Pretty lady and pretty scandalous. She would probably have a reality show of her own these days.

    Cast iron

    Interesting. I had not heard of Stargazer. I think I will stay with my old pans, but if people prefer new, it looks like a good option.

    Chores That You Really Hate(d)

    There are multiple lawsuits in motion over the "flushable" wipes. I doubt there will be any recovery but maybe they will quit advertising them as flushable. Not that people won't still flush them. They are an ongoing nightmare for city sewer systems as well as their customers.

    Magnum P.I. reboot

    I watched the trailer. My original statement not only stands, but has been reinforced.

    :D What really turned me off was Bono and his self important bloviating. Whether I agree or disagree with the positions they take is irrelevant. You are an entertainer, not a political or social scholar. Shut your piehole about your personal views and do what the public pays you to do. The fact...

    Agreed. Nice sign, poor execution.

    Unfortunately it appears Elisa hasn't been back since her first appearance a year ago. You must have scared her off! :D

    Yes. Convenience stores usually have a machine of some type to put air in your tires. Many of them here used to be free, but I'm not sure there are any of those left here. The first pay ones I remember were a quarter, now I have seen them up to $2.00. The volume of air provided ranges from...

    I've never been able to understand why stealing the hose or vandalizing the machine was such great sport. I see it all of the time though. It's no great mystery why the pay compressors went from 25 cents to a dollar so quickly. GHT mentioned a correction center where you are sent to receive a...

    You only have to observe the popularity of "reality" television to see the level of intellectual horsepower that passes as entertainment in our society. He's just riding the wave of idiocracy.

    Chores That You Really Hate(d)

    Snow shoveling was an ongoing misery for sure. Still is, even though I do have a blower now. From childhood, cleaning out he chicken house, snapping beans and shelling peas were things that brought no joy to my days.
