Urk, that last should have been "Travel ban implemented" not "Border Closing," I guess. Oh, well. Blew that joke.

I… had to stop watching about half-way through. I'll probably watch the whole thing later with Milady and Daughter. The girl's crying was just too much.
If Milady Webworker were commenting here instead of to me, she might say, "I love that term, 'the jig is up.' My mother used to say that all the time."
Cap guns? Cap guns are cool. Wonder how many decades Ahhh!
@mindful,
Yes, an OKC thing.

A quick googling on 3D Danny says that was an OKC thing? My childhood TV was out of Tulsa.
So, mindful webworker, do you remember 3-D Danny?
When I poured too much sugar on my corn flakes on Saturday mornings, in the wilds of 50s/60s Oklahoma, we had three networks, one of which didn't come in too well.
one of my oldest memories. staying overnight at my great-aunts' house, for reasons i can't recall and talking with my mother she can't imagine why i ever spent the night there, either.
Misanthropic Humanitarian: "Isn't there 1classmate who said Chicago sucked? Not one? Hell I would've gone to tell them that much"
Ricardo Kill: "mindful has rubbed some elbows.......... Do tell?"
Mmmm. High school elbows.
Okay, seriously. It's embarrassing, but...
Went to high school with a Tandy heir. His daddy said, who do you want for your band at the graduation party? Son said, Chicago.
Aw, I like Wisconsin, really. Well, some of it. I've got in-laws in Madison so we'll probably have to visit again. Beautiful country.

Went to college in Wisconsin. Learned to drink beer there. The town straddled the Illinois border. Yes, that town. Wisc. had drinking age 18 and Ill. had drinking age 21. Ill.
"...put the papers in mailboxes"! Aha! I forgot that part... before they got all picky and required separate newspaper receptacles.
Um... newsboy knows who gets Playboy in the mail and 'borrows' it for a day... trying to figure how you know or do that.

When my grandparents lived, this property had ten acres fenced off as living area. That's a lot of lawn, a lot of oak and pecan to trim around.
WriterRuth > Good God. I'm older than zip codes. ZIP CODES, fer cryin' out loud!
Sheesh! You make that see like a long time ago!

Plus, that snap of caps, in guns, hit with rocks, whatever.
I never had enough caps.
Gracias, Maetenloch.
Thank you, Molly k. Don't know that song, but that house really did shape us. It was almost a member of the family.
Thoughts which drive me from my bed, Mar 1:
My older sister's birthday was early Feb. All month I meant to write to her. All month I didn't.
backhoe, a PB&J sounds pretty good, actually. Simple & satisfying on many levels.
I never had a Pez dispenser as a kid. (Insert "you had Pez dispensers? We had to make do with" joke here.) I don't think I ever quite 'got' a toy that shoots candy out of its neck.
Strangest thing about the Cheerios tweet is, that particular bugaboo - interracial anything, really - is so middle-of-last-Century now! As the reply tweets so amply demonstrate.

Uhhhh... little thing like that just slipped her mind, I suppose. Any other dealings with her? The ghost, I mean, not the landlady.
