A different cut showing how Airplane! was just the movie Zero Hour! but with jokes. I can see how they wrote Airplane -- I see them sitting around watching this old, lame movie, making wise-cracks like "And please don't call me Shirley" while watching it, and then deciding to write it as a script. And they had to pay for the Zero Hour! script because all of their best wise-cracks were in response to that particular movie.

This boulder kinda looks like a scoop of ice cream, kinda.

I am now the recipient of the most-obscure, least-transferable credential around. Having taken the courses, passed the test and done the qualifying work, I am now a Certified Steward for American Kennel Club dog shows.*

Stewards have a little-heralded but very important job. Conformation dog shows run on a tight schedule and stewards perform the multitude of small tasks working with judges and exhibitors to keep things going. Without us, the proceedings would quickly grind to a crawl.

I've been doing it for 30 years, but the certification now puts me on a list that clubs can use when they need someone who knows what they're doing.

It's very busy work lasting all day, done for little more than a deposit in the Favor Bank, perhaps a free lunch, and being able to say "bitch" in a loud voice.

(*When you're retired, even little successes are gratifying)

Surprised the Goldens don't get brain freeze from gobbling those cones down in one bite.

We once gave our little puppy Knight a small bowl of ice cream. He took a big bite of it and immediately his eyes bulged out from the shock. He desperately tried to spit it out but it froze to the roof of his mouth.

I'm ashamed to say we were not of much help to him because we were both collapsed with laughter. Poor boy!

I felt guilty today for getting frustrated taking care of Ralphy. He wants to be with me every minute and now that I'm working on the computer I have to carry him up and down the 8 wooden steps. He's fine on carpetted steps.

I'm still getting used to this. Snowflake came in early tonight. She usually comes in around 11pm and I put her out in the middle of the night. Screw it. Both of them on the bed and movies...

I got a box of mini cake cups, by Joy Cone. I thought they'd be perfect for a small sized ice cream cone for myself, like the Dairy Queen kid size or something. Turns out, they're just slightly bigger than a sewing thimble, so they have become the doggie ice cream cones.

About a tablespoon of ice cream fills the cone, and they think they've really gotten something special.

I actually bought ice cream last week and had some today. First time in years.

And I ate so much chocolate which I don't usually have in the house. Fortunately, the Canadian government will probably increase our chocolate rations to a smaller amount soon.

Stopped her and bought something and talked once. From next neighborhood over, does it for fun and a few $. She's a bit younger but agreed it's great to see kids responding like we did as kids.

86 AL, but let's hope TN also. Several calling for a 9-0 GOP redistricting, citing MA, where the partisan vote imbalance is much closer, and yet 9-0 Dems.

FL done. TX done (I think). Since this was a LA case, is LA going to redistrict in time for this year's rodeo? NC, SC, KY remain. Presumably VA's abortion gets nixed, unless the court there renders a fact- and law-free "1+1=7" sort of ruling, which must be at least somewhat likely.

They did the same thing with Police Squad, which became the Naked Gun movies, basing it off a show called M squad, with Lee Marvin. You can find side-by-side comparisons of those on Youtube as well.

Being told who to hate is easier than thinking for themselves. It is a form of comforting, being folded into an ideological cocoon, where nothing can contradict the beliefs that were handed down from people who have better credentials that poor schlubs who just have the uninterpreted world to go by

Truth asks something of you, and comfort asks nothing.

I was a computer consultant in Ohio for years to clients in Florida only talkingvto them overvthe phone. FOR YEARS!
