Lots of free stuff out there, if you'll suffer through a few commercials. FreeVee, YouTube, Crackle, Pluto TV, etc.

Thanks Cats. Houston gets lots of rain. Should be raining today. One of my wife’s friends houses a few minutes away got struck by lightning recently. She claims insurance isn’t paying out, but I think that story is fishy.

I usually watch series long after the hub bub. For example earlier this year I finished Breaking Bad. Next up I think I’ll watch Band of Brothers.

@Mik said in Summer's Coming!: @Catseye3 said in Summer's Coming!: @George-K For me, nothing. Gotta be very cold. With you there. In summer I normally have a big bowl of watermelon chunks in a covered salad bowl in the fridge. +1

@jon-nyc said in For Horace: @Mik Really? Did you live there your whole childhood? No, just until I was 3. But we spent a lot of time there.

@Klaus Then stay away from Liszt’s Grandes etudes du Paganini! I wish you well.

One of my favorite word trivia: boondocks (n.) "remote and wild place," 1910s, from Tagalog bundok "mountain." A word adopted by occupying American soldiers in the Philippines for "remote and wild place." It was reinforced or re-adopted during World War II. Hence, also boondockers "shoes suited for rough terrain," originally (1944) U.S. services slang word for field boots. Another explanation I've heard is that bundok meant, basically "over there," or "yonder."

Next, do hospitals.

Those are pretty common figures on the web. I'd say they're right.

No, no, no, George!

The last couple of years I have been eating sumo oranges. They look like mandarin oranges on steroids. They are supposedly bred for sweetness, and boy do you pay for it. I think 3 of them can run you $10. I justify it by saying 'it's only around for a short while'. 2 months or so. If your grocery has them, you should give them a try. Much sweeter than Cara Cara.

@Mik Yeah, they grow up. But you knew that before me.

Killjoy!
