    Did he HAVE to deliver it on April 1? I couldn't have listened myself as it was the first night of Passover. Weird timing....

    We keep our back door open at night [yeah, totally not safe in the 17th largest Metro (trivia: was 25th when I graduated from HD)-- in fact, I wouldn't do it, but RM opens it every time I lock it; I couldn't fall asleep for a minute and he'd have it open, so I gave up.] So, I do get a cross breeze (having a single window in my bedroom, and better air quality. Anyway, although they'll be a lot more later, now for some reason, I always have 1 mosquito buzzing around me and 1 small moth flapping its wings somewhere in my room at night. It's mildly annoying. I'll have multiple mosquito bites daily soon enough. This will be more than annoying but not the end of the world.

    @CHAS said: Liked the Beatles. Listened to the Rolling Stones more. Was never a fan of McCartney's solo career music. It's amazing he's still at it. I'll give him that much.

    Yes, it's been a while since some truly attention worthy news, this is a day that will long be remembered. For me it shows what we are capable of, what we could achieve in an ideal world. I'm going to find the live feed mentioned

    Answer is: they don’t. It’s an estate based on old photos that show him fully grown at the time they were taken. So they subtract 50 from that. Probably shouldn’t be reported to three digits of specificity.

    @wtg said: Costco is anywhere from a dime to a quarter a gallon cheaper than other stations. Then you factor in the 5% cash back for using Costco's credit card to buy gasoline from Costco (vs. the more typical 2% cash back using other credit cards); of course don't forget to amortize your annual Costco membership fee.

    I thought about the protests against the Vietnam War in the 60s. I think they made a difference....

    The Fergie character is the best! Lol. The problem with Charles is a) he lied during his marriage vows and b) his second marriage is illegitimate, and c) he has played out his short reign as a "Defender of the Faith" with with no credibility. He will be an asterisk in Diana Spencer's history. The BBC did a poll of the 100 most admired Britains some time ago. The answers came back as 1) Elizabeth I, 2) Winston Churchill, 3) Diana Spencer, and so on. Charles will be a footnote in Diana Spencer's history. The dustbin of history is waiting for him. I know that this sounds harsh. I've developed a habit in my early old age of not pulling my punches. That was very funny, and the Sarah character was spot on.

    Ontario friends are on a Viking cruise on the Danube. We have an airline credit from the fouled trip to Japan. Where are Americans being welcomed? Places to avoid?
