  1. Probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in person in my life was behind the counter in the DQ in Buffalo. I actually stopped within 6 feet of the counter and did a 360 looking for the cameras-nope. Early evening shift, but it was 30 years ago. About 18, nearly 6 foot tall, and pure Miss America quality. Good luck with your miserable commutes.
  2. From the top of the Hill Country-FIGHT!
  3. I’ve often said that Arkansas would be the first place to test a massive neutron bomb-destroy all the arkies, and the rest of the state would be a wonderful park.
  4. Ah, the good ole days! My first airline adventure was Amarillo to El Paso on Braniff, then El Paso to Mexico City on Aeromexico in 1970. Next to me was an experienced business traveler who evidently noticed I was a little nervous. He very kindly spent 3 or 4 minutes explaining what was procedure and that I really had nothing to worry about. Then when we wheeled to the runway to run up the engines, he pulled a rosary from his pocket and started fingering the beads and murmuring-I nearly pissed my pants! both planes reeked of stale cigarette smoke; OTOH, those cute stewardesses kept bringing the free screwdrivers to me on both flights. I made it, but it’s better now, even with all the hassles.
  5. Third Aster film I’ve seen; I think any film should have some root in “realism”. Of some sort. Aster is now on my list of “don’t bother.” Tastes vary.
  6. Somebody sure missed something. This movie was a sort of Hollywood liberal revisionist fever dream-and I’m a capital “L” liberal myself. I worked the Covid pandemic in a small Texas town (as a health care provider), and this was nowhere near reality. “Suspension of disbelief” doesn’t even come close. I’ve watched several thousand movies (and still watch a couple hundred per year); this one goes directly to the trash heap. Can you tell I didn’t care for it? You want a revisionist western? Go watch “The Wild Bunch” or “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia” or even “The Searchers.” OTOH, it’s hard to believe that a filmmaker could make TorC NM look even more miserable than it is, but this guy came pretty close!
  7. Apocalypse Now- any edition Animal House-I was at the 40 Acres when it came out, and I laughed so hard my wife got embarrassed and moved across the theater. I think I knew all those characters.
  8. Somebody has to say it-Pampa. Long drive, though.
  9. Saw “Eddington” Monday afternoon. A complete and total waste of 2 1/2 hours. I would have left at the 20 minute mark, but glanced at my wife (no pics) and thought she was engrossed-turns out she was asleep. I can’t even describe what a bad film this was, and I’ve seen “Billy the Kid Meets Dracula.” Wow. Like a product of a sophomore in film school.
  10. That’s a beauty! Making my hands itch to just try it out. Congrats
  11. “My Girl” by The Temptations. James Jamerson’s bass line is exquisite. No. I don’t play bass

    Getting old sucks

    Glasses for the last 70 years. Not convenient, but the earpieces ride well on the grooves in my skull. No fingers in my eye, please.
  13. Willie Nelson George Jones Patsy Cline Kris Kristofferson Hank Williams, Jr.
  14. My favorite Tele is a Fender Mexico 2014 with Joe Barden/Danny Gatton pickups front and rear. Use the tone knob and the selector and it’s a jazz machine. Now I need one with Charlie Christian pickups…………
  15. One Christmas I got a HulaHoop and a pair of socks. My father (RIP) had actually wrapped the HulaHoop in Sundays funnies he’d saved.
