Well, we saw the lion cub. He was just as cute as he could be. But his color has unexpectedly changed. They were hoping he would remain an albino, but he is getting as dark as his mother. Oh, well!
Howdy Vagabonds.Welcome to the weekend. Unsettled weather, scattered showers, temps upper 50s..I’ve got a question for you:He was one of the few actors to do it all: Broadway, movies, television and cartoons. (from IMDb)He started out as a narrator for a short “Where will you hide?” (1948), Then as a Genie in “A-lad-in his lamp” (1948) a Buggs Bunny cartoon. “I Married Joan” (1952-1955) he played a judge married to a scatter brained woman.(as I read it from IMDb)He did a lot of TV, a really famous cartoon character, Daniel Boone as a pirate. He also took a three hour tour.OK, if I haven’t confused you to much who is he?.Well, gotta start thinking about the grocery list, catch you all tomorrow..ttfn
Hi, Vagabonds…Such a pain to type on this iPad.Mark, that would be Jim Backus. Loved his voice!Supposed to rain.We’re going to a Memorial service for one of my friends in the Cancer Support group. Way too young, 55. We are all suffering with her family.
Have had a rainy week and it will continue through Mon.
Temp has been staying at about the upper 50’s. Windy and raw.
Jan and David: hope you both have a happy birthday.
On Tues. my wife and I will celebrate our 63rd wedding anniversary. It doesn’t seem possible that much time has passed. Is that why they say time passes quickly when you’re having fun? LOL
Mark, I knew this one. Like Rita, I adored Jim Backus’ voice. His Mr. Magoo was wonderful. Not a lot of people have even heard of “I married Joan”, but I can remember a specific episode where he was supposed to marry a young couple. Funny how he played two different characters in two different shows that were both married to a ditz.
We had a successful parking lot sale today. I sold a lot of stuff and donated the rest to Salvation Army. I was able to give $105 to the church this afternoon.
I practically took a bath in sunscreen before I got dressed this morning, and it is a good thing I did! Bright sunshine all morning.
It’s 88 outside right now, and I am grateful for the air conditioner in my house.
Good morning, Vagabonds. A few years ago, I opened my canister of oatmeal to find what looked like hundreds of tiny, tiny ant I brought the canister to the NY Museum of Natural History, where I had been in email contact with the entomologist, Dr. Sorkin. He looked inside with a magnifying glass and, too my amazement, told me they were beetles! They were so small they looked like baby ants. Dr. Sorkin took the canister for further study. I assumed the beetles came with a huge bag of oatmeal that I had bought at Cost-co and transferred to the canister, ironically because I didn’t want the large open bag of oatmeal exposed to roaches.
Yesterday, I opened another canister of oatmeal for the 1st time in months (because of my diabetes I didn’t want to add sugar to my oatmeal and so avoided eating oatmeal. Again, I saw tiny beetles trying to crawl out of the top of the canister and immediately re-sealed it. I assume the oatmeal was from the same bag that I had bought in Cost-co – too late to contacts Costco: I had disposed of the original bag with its serial number.
My question – and perhaps some will know the answer – if I throw the canister down the shoot of my apartment building’s recycling closet, the beetles may get out, infest other areas and multiply. If I throw the oatmeal into my toilet it may not only clog my toilet but the beetles will fly out and infest my apartment. I can’t burn the canister (not only because some may consider it cruel to burn the insects alive) but I don’t want to start a fire in my enclosed area.
Good morning Vagabonds.It’s a gray day round here, don’t see the eves dripping so it ain’t raining. (give it time).Yes, Jim Backus is right, and I always liked Mr. Magoo too. “A-lad-in his lamp” Buggs Bunny, was his first cartoon voice gig as a genie. A very distinctive voice indeed..Getting close to time to go to Church. Have a blessed day all..ttfn
Arye, first put the canister into the freezer, dump it into a zip lock bag, then wash the canister. The freezer will kill the insects and the zip lock bag will contain them.
I bought some “Coach’s Oats” oatmeal from Costco, and while it is great oatmeal, it has a tendency to go bad. After having it sit over the summer because it’s too hot for oatmeal, I opened the bag and it smelled rancid. This time, I put it into the freezer. It’s still too hot to make oatmeal, but I hope the freezer will keep it from getting rancid.
Thank you for the birthday greetings. I am looking forward to a great dinner out tonight. It is donut Sunday at church today, so I will have lots of little “birthday cakes” to share with folks this morning.
The forecast is for 90 today, and it is currently 74. Still Indian summer, I suppose.
Good morning to all Vagabonds.HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jan!!Hope you have a chance to have a special dinner tonight.That was a great idea about th oatmeal,Jan. I always freeze my walnuts, pecans and almonds. They never go rancid either.

Good Sunday morning Vagabonds.
Going to be a so-so day with just some light drizzle.
My daughter measured how much rain we got this week with her rain gauge and we got about 1.75 inches.
Not a drought breaker but every little bit helps.
After Mon., no rain until next Sat. with temp in mid to upper 60’s.
