We lost the great actor Graham Greene today. Many great film roles and he was so funny as the explosives guy in The Red Green show. Great comic timing.🙏🏼💔

Given all the social and economic issues facing our country, it’s so encouraging to see that our government can bring its full weight to bear on the crisis of a restaurant chain changing its branding image.🤷‍♂️

They are building a new immigration detention center in Nebraska. It is being referred to as a work ethic center.

Sadly, Loni Anderson, who played Jennifer on WKRP in Cincinnati, has passed. I always was amused by how Jennifer quietly kept the station running and dealt with problems and people. That self-assured confidence and cleverness along with her beauty.

On Star Talk, I recently heard this saying:

‘The plural of anecdote is not data.’

A lesson social media fails to grasp.

Just arrived: a 15 year old Single Farm Estate Daftmill cask strength, from the Kingdom of Fife. Looking forward to this one. I’m taking a wild guess that you’re familiar with this distillery.😏

You are someone that would appreciate this. My wife and I are flying to LA for a few days to see the premier showing of a fully restored DP version of Forbidden Planet. I saw the announcement and said let’s go. VERY spontaneous for me. I’m think I’m ready to retire.😏

The coos are loose. 😏 Maybe they need to bring in a coo wrangler from Fife?

Egg, gas and grocery prices are surging all around the United States which is odd because we were all told by a fraudulent failed businessman that tariffs would magically lower the prices for everything and that the world would greatly benefit from vindictive trade wars. 🧐

Welcome to Blue Sky. Hope you are do well and you have good news.
Been an eventful three day for me. Close in-law had appendicitis and they triaged her and didn’t operate that night. Appendix burst. Now has to take antibiotics through IV. Wish they had just removed it.

Welcome to Blue Sky, Kelly. Things are calmer and kinder over here, at least for now. It works a little differently than Twit, but many friends have moved here. Glad things are going well. I share more today on our ongoing projects. You’re spot on about losing my little pal.

I mentioned that I liked Ed McBain novels to my friend who owns a bookstore. He gave me a stack of used McBain novels I had never read before. This year’s reading all sorted now. I’ll leave room for DI McLean #14, though.😊

Happy belated Burns Night. We listened to The Address to the Haggis again and made our toast to Rabbie Burns. Unfortunately, Aldi was a bit short on haggis so I settled for leg of lamb. I miss real haggis, but at least this was a sheep. 😏 Sláinte mhath 🥃
