Stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down
So remember the house across the corner, that had a work truck in the street overnight many times? They got to parking the truck in the driveway, so that, among other things, the street can be plowed when the city finally remembers it's supposed to plow our street after a snowstorm. But between (at least) two cars and the truck their driveway's pretty overloaded. The other night while going to bed I saw a police car out, and an officer examining their car, which crossed over the sidewalk. It looked to me like they were getting a ticket for blocking the sidewalk although from my distance I couldn't tell.
Meanwhile, on to my humor blog, in the event you haven't been reading it by its RSS feed or through its Livejournal Syndicated existence. Appearing in that this past week have been:
- The Mid-Winter Fashion, this week's major piece, and about wearing stuff. Mostly clothes.
- Suspicion, about an e-mail I received from my credit card company and how I responded.
- Also the ‘Paleo Diet Treats’ Better Just Be ‘A Stick Covered In Honey’, about a magazine cover I saw in the checkout aisle.
- Imported Tea. Also, Comics. It points to my mathematics blog and some comic strips posts, and it also courageously makes fun of Hi and Lois. But I mean the Hi and Lois from nearly sixty years ago.
- 2014 in review, sharing what WordPress had to say about last year around those parts.
- Statistics Saturday: The Ancient Greek Alphabet In Alphabetical Order, which is every bit as useful a guide as I expect it to be.
- Popeye: Rocket To Mars, sharing a Popeye cartoon from back when Famous Studios was trying.
- The End Of The Tree, last year's major piece, and about our rabbit finally getting his chance at the tree he's spent so long waiting to eat. Includes a picture.
Trivia: To keep up sound production after the talkie soundstages were destroyed on 16 January 1929, Paramount began filming at night, so that silent studios could be used without requiring soundproofing.
