    Not an Elvis fan, but Viva Las Vegas. Ann-Margret. No other reason required. Buddy Holly or Bill Haley?

    What's For Breakfast...

    The breakfast element figures in here as well. Wife: Why are you getting a large? We won't eat that much. 3fingers: What do you think I'm having for breakfast and maybe lunch tomorrow? She doesn't even mention it any more. It may be one of the few things I've successfully trained her on. :p

    L.L.Bean scraps lifetime return policy

    If you read one corporate bloviation, you've read them all. There must be a class at CEO business school. 400 level verbal flatulence.

    What's For Breakfast...

    I've eaten a lot of leftover cold pizza for breakfast in my life, but have never baked a pizza for breakfast. I'm not sure what to think about that. :p

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    My wife and I went to a local place for supper tonight. It's a restaurant with a bar and usually pretty quiet. Tonight there was a group at the bar who had had 1 more than enough and were starting to get a little wound up. After I got past that point in my own life, my tolerance of it from...

    When every food item that has been touched by a human at any point in its manufacture becomes "artisan". Blah again.

    I'm always shocked when I see current pictures of Frampton. When he and I were both younger we were polar opposites in appearance. Long hair, shirt unbuttoned and whatever. He now looks like half the guys I work with.

    This or That

    In the past these terms were not heard because body on frame construction was pretty much universal on American vehicles. That is what is now referred to as a truck frame . Two steel channel rails tied together with steel crossmembers with the body mounted to it. A unibody frame is where the...

    Vintage neon signs

    My grandad took some slides in the '50's of the strip lit up at night. Alas, I don't think they survived my grandmother's purge. From the perspective, it looked like he was standing in the middle of the street while shooting. Probably wouldn't be advisable now. :D

    Old gas stations

    Question for the Chevy experts. Did the '58 Chevy not sell well? There were and still are quite a few '59 models around here, but I can't think of a single '58 left.

    Old gas stations

    This reminds me of a related story. The customers at the station were mostly of the "special people" type given its location. Rules did not generally apply to them. One lady had a new tripower Oldsmobile and refused to shut the engine off while fueling it up, probably because she had trouble...

    Radio interviews with servicemen in WW2 were awful. It was so painfully evident that they were reading from cue cards as to make the story they were telling much less powerful. I've wondered many times who thought that this was a good idea.

    Old gas stations

    33.9 for ethyl! Where will it end? My father worked at a high end Conoco station on Monaco Parkway in Denver in the late '50's. I remember him saying he pumped a lot of 1 dollar gas purchases into cars for kids so their dads wouldn't know how far they had driven his car. A dollar would get you...

    Vintage neon signs

    There was a Siesta Motel in the town where I went to college. It had a cool neon sign as well. Unfortunately both motel and sign are gone now.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm not sure what they were thinking. Uness it was an attempt to grab cash on the way out the door, Photobucket has commited hara-kiri. Extorting your customers never ends well.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Part of the reason I enjoyed Call the Midwife besides the story is that being raised Catholic before nuns became an endangered species, I could connect the sisters to sisters I knew in real life from the sweet or nutty to the ornery and cranky, they are all there.
