You can always tell my car, it’s always on a lift. I’m always watching it go up and down, up and down. I have the only car with more miles on it vertically than horizontally.

I agree, I’ve found that I am still surprised at the endings of re-runs of TV shows.

No joke....

Meanwhile on a German highway

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world,
I rapidly realized that I don’t really give a rat’s hiney. It’s the tortoise life for me!

1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn’t run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to exercise?? I don’t think so.
I’m retired. Go around me.

We have a new local TV station, called Antenna TV. They play old reruns all the time. Like TVLand used to be.

You know what’s hilarious? Dragnet. I LMAO everytime I watch that show.

That’s a heck of a list!

The Jack Benny Program is on AntennaTV every night. Still one of the best shows on television.

Your cartoon reminds me of this classic...

EXCERPTS FROM A DOG’S DAILY DIARY:

8:00 a.m. Oh, boy! Dog food! My favorite!
9:30 a.m. Wow! A car ride! This is a blast!
9:40 a.m. A walk in the park! Hot damn!
10:30 a.m. Getting rubbed and petted! I’m in love!
12:00 p.m. Lunch! Yummy!
1:00 p.m. Playing in the yard! I just love it!
4:00 p.m. Hooray! The kids are home! I’m bouncing off the walls!
5:00 p.m. Milkbones! Great!
7:00 p.m. I get to play ball! This is too good to be true!
8:00 p.m. Wow! Watching TV with my master! Heavenly!
11:00 p.m Sleeping at the bottom of my master’s bed! Life is
great!

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT’S DAILY DIARY:

Day 683 of My Captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. In that way I shall be ready to flee at the first opportunity that presents itself. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape (and the tepid satisfaction I receive from ruining the occasional piece of furniture). In yet another demonstration of civil disobedience,I shall topple and destroy one more houseplant tonight under the cover of darkness.

Many of my efforts to wear down my oppressors are not going
according to plan. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomited on the floor. I shall soon be expanding my repertoire; I believe I’ll start vomiting in their shoes and/or beds. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘’good little hunter’’ I am. The audacity!!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow— but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released—and he seems more than willing to return!! He is obviously a half-wit.

The bird has got to be an informant— I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. The captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe— for now.

But I can wait.

It is only a matter of time.....

There are three shows that I currently DVR on antenna TV:

Dragnet
Adam 12

and a favorite for an old retired Navy man like me, McHale’s Navy

Hah... I watch all three of those. :) I don’t watch all that much TV, but when I do I tend to bounce back and forth between AntennaTV and METV. If I were to sit around for an evening watching TV, it would go something like this.

The Rifleman
Mary Tyler Moore Show
Dick Van Dyke Show
Bob Newhart Show
Cheers
The Odd Couple
Burns and Allen
The Jack Benny Program
Twilight Zone
Alfred Hitchcock Presents

Maybe I’m stuck in the past, but I have a high standard, and there’s very little coming out of Hollyweird today that meets my standards.

Back in 1973 I was driving 135mph on the Autobahn (just East of Wurzburg) and was passed by a Mercedes that was going at least 20 mph faster than my Porsche. I’ll never forget that.
