I remember when Lester was marketing Pickrick Drumsticks as part of his drive to keep his fried chicken joint segregated. I first learned about Lester Maddox from a song called Rednecks by Randy Newman. I think Lester mellowed quite a bit in his old age. |

I liked Willie Nelson's version of Moonlight in Vermont. Much better than Larry Ferrari's, I assure you. Larry played it like pre-game at Dodger Stadium. We could get channel 8 where we lived. It didn’t come in as clear as the Baltimore stations. We got a couple of UHF stations also on clear days. I recall there was one UHF that would show nudity from time to time, and another that was all nudies, but the signal was scrambled so it would have 45 degree diagonal roll. My other brother would get up very close to the screen and try to catch a peek. Wayne always had some strange ways of pronouncing things. Still does. I have no idea why. To him an orange is an “ornch”. Bananas are balanas. The scrambled mode on the TV was scrambled “mood”. He’s 76 now, so he’s never going to change… |

Speaking of European vacation-- a heads up that I might be a bit less of a presence over the next few weeks. My better half and I leave tomorrow for a fling in Burgundy, Bordeaux and a soupcon of Paris. Since our flight isn't until evening, I hope to catch as much of tomorrow afternoon's game as possible, albeit with distractions. Just so you know I haven't bought the farm or anything unpleasant.

Rizzo’s fielding is not in a slump. It was a poor choice for him to throw home earlier, but when plays like that work they’re wonderful…

Sounds exciting! Have fun pipps! Best of luck saving Paris from secret Russian nuclear attack! |

To see a sideways thing that might have been a booby back then would have been quite a thrill for a pubescent boy in that age. Even in scrambled mood… |

No buying the farm, kicking the bucket, taking a dirt nap, diving with the worms, or sleeping wid da fishes allowed… |
