How you doing?
Hi, Vision! Yeah, that Whistler sounds familiar to me, too.
We’re fine. Still liking the nice weather. How about you? Anything cooking?
I'm great. Am roasting a chicken in this easy technique which has been turning out great birds. You?
The show you mention sounds like “Sorry, Wrong Number,” that starred Barbara Stanwyck in the film version and Agnes Moorehead in the radio version. This one may be one in which the phone call with the two women turns out to have been faked. We’ll see.
We’re smoking a pork loin roast—not a tenderloin, but the bigger roast.
So I went for a scooter ride today, takes about an hour, though lots of neighborhoods. There are NO political signs out. I saw one Sanders sign a few months ago. But today I saw this sign, had to circle back to see it. It was a little surreal. I think Trump is going to win in a landslide.

Gunsmoke!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I know it’s not funny, but “I don’t know” just slays me. How can ANYONE NOT KNOW at this late hour in our nation? There are a LOT of ignorant people out there.
That sounds like a great idea making long, marinated steaks out of the pork loin roast!
Love the Andrew Sisters.
YES! You FINALLY “hearthe” it! After all the Johnny Dollar “murther mathers,” you heard it! Yay!
What has been heard, cannot be unheard
Halls of Ivy!
