I like the Topper series.

Here is a reconstructed William S. Hart video in poor condition but all they had to work with.

Fred Flintstone

Cheap and dirty, just tie a leather shoe string in it.

Options and choices were not even discussed in my treatment. Didn't know there was any.I couldn't even be told cost or how much Medicare would cover. I specifically asked at the pay lady's desk. She did a lot of poking on PC and finally replied, "It'll start paying after you've reached your deductible." I'm thinking, thats no answer. But give up. Seems I have no input in my health care.

Missouri has Truman day on May 8th. Maybe just state workers have the day off.

Not long ago I was setting in the Edge on parking lot waiting for Mary shopping and the center disply lit up. Big Ford dealer wanting permission to track our car!

Years ago I overheard ladies in Mary office talking about a package deal of getting tubes tied, tummy tightened and boobs lifted. But I see no attraction to big blubbery butts.

By coincidence, I got the cataract removed from my right eye Tuesday. I had pasted my driver's license exam for past 10 years without glasses. But I could tell I was probably not going to pass it this time. I made an appointment with eye doctor. After exam, he said you don't need glasses, you need to get cataracts removed. Lots of crap to go through. More testing at surgeon office. Set up appointments. Tuesday was two hours of prep crap. Only about 10 minutes to do the surgery. Nothing to it. I could immediately see brighter and sharper. But could see some halos. My right eye staid dilated the rest of the day. More normal the next day. Had to go see my local doctor the next day. Another eye exam and he looked in my eye. Now I shut my left eye and see with High Definition clarity. The sky is bright blue. Grass is greener. Can see individual leafs 100 yards distance. Close my right eye everything looks dirty hazy. Another week and more to get left eye done. I'm anxious to see how much difference having both eyes fixed.

I had to had look it up. Rolled over an ad that would fly you from St Louis to Miami Florida to get a BBL for $3700. What's a BBL? Brazilian Butt Lift! They take fat from somewhere and put it in your butt.

Brag O'Dossios

We attended the Bianchi Cup several times years ago. Setting on a grassy knoll watching one stage, I heard on wife explaining to another why her husband wasn't doing so well. It was her fault for getting pregnant and having a baby. He generally practiced 5k rounds a week but took too much time off from practice to deal with her pregnancy.

I could shoot every waking hour every day and still be slow. I'm not clumsy but I've never been fast or agile. I sometimes shoot in the 40s and I think 38 was my fastest stage ever. I won my category in a two day match by default being the only contestant.

Since we're talking about the Pledge of the Allegiance, I couldn't pass up Red Skelton performance.

Seen trivia in old movie that we use to salute the flag like this while reciting the Plege of Allegiance. But changed sometime before WWII. Because it looked like the way Naze did it. https://youtu.be/Xi8MXIq_0t0?si=KIXNUcAF6rNjmQKh

I've fried biscuits in a skillet with bacon grease. I like them but Mary keeps us well stocked with biscuits, scones, rolls and bread, there is no need to make more.

30 some years ago, son Chris and I found ourselves outside Cody Wyoming. We'd just eaten supper at a roadside motel and cafe. Getting dark, we noticed a guy in the pool cabana building working leather. Chris had a stainless Ruger Vaquero in 44 Magnum and wanted a holster for it. We stepped into the little building and started a conversation with the leather worker. He turned out to be quite a character. He had been some kind of cowboy or guide all his life. Story after story. But at one time he worked as a cook on a big ranch and cooked on the range while they were doing roundup. Said he got tired of just making biscuits and decided to make some raised bread. He got it mixed up and let it rise. Then punched it down and rise a second time. Then he made the mistake of punching it down again and putting it into his Dutch oven or whatever. When he pulled it out, it was hard dense as a brick. He just tossed it in a revine behind the campsite. A bet later he heard a commotion and went to look. A crow was on its back with the brick in its claws try to break something off the loaf of bread. Don't sound any too funny but the guy was telling this story with his jaw wired shut. Stomped by a bull in a rodeo. He wore a big leg brace from some other accident.

If you watched this performance in real time, you're old.

I had a neighbor that worked for the city. He said the maintenance shed had a mechanic on duty. Said he was issued a pickup to use. Said it mostly set unused because parts stores just delivered parts. But the paint all around the bed and hood was warn off from guys leaning against it.

Just topped of at Murphy (Wally-World) in Boonville, Missouri for $3.029. Higher to much higher everywhere else.
