I like tonight's lineup a lot...never heard of Allen's Alley...Jerry Lewis (while not funny) makes sense...The Mysterious Traveler is gold...Carry On, Canada seems fun...can't remember the Fourth Estate but it sounds good...and ending well with an Escape.
All’s well in the mid-Atlantic...prayers out to those down south...
Going to try to stay up late. First episodea of The Fugitive and The Untouchables on METV tonight.
Hey, what’s METV? You’re going to stay up all night for those?
Hi, Vision! How’s it going?
We’re fine. I’ve been FReepmailing with Viking all week about the storm. Thank the Lord it hasn’t been as bad as it COULD’VE been, although it’s rough.
Life is fine up here. Seasoned the new blackstone this weekend. But we're only getting up the 72f which is too cold for early Sept.
Oh, you have the beautiful weather. It’s super-nice here now, too. We’re getting a coolish breeze, a tiny northeastern edge of the system.
Your blackstone—you mean a pizza stone-type thing, or something else?
A griddle. I thought I mentioned this...here’s a youtube guy...

Oh, COOL! It’s the Waffle House!
“At a time when we’re so divided.”
No one mentions it was obamalamadingdong and the left which has divided the county.
Thank goodness we don’t listen to him anymore. At showtime, we tune in 20th Century Radio. We get Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Sam Spade and more.
