You can never go wrong with bathroom humor.  Here's a Bliss cartoon from earlier in the week.



The letter from AARP promised a FREE GIFT!  As opposed to a gift that's gonna cost me money?  I could never join a group that printed a blatant redundancy on its invitation.  You can take the English teacher out of the classroom, but you can't make them any less cranky.  (See below)



I was reading a novel this week in which the protagonist came in out of the cold and took off his beanie.   You KNOW which of the above I immediately thought of.  I thought the one on the right was a Watch Cap or Stocking Cap.  Language changes, but I'm having a hard time with it.


Who knew there was a Toy Hall of Fame?  Well, Yahtzee made it this year and some other folks did too.  Click HERE to read the article in the New York Times.


My classmate Ernie Cowan takes us to the High Sierra in this week's outdoor column in the Union-Tribune.  His writing successfully took me away from the daily travails for a blessed few minutes.  Click HERE -- and enjoy!!


I now have two vintage photos looking south on Highway 101 from Del Mar.  Click HERE to see them both.


Time for another look at one of my menus from Oscar's Drive-In.  It's oh-so frustrating that photos of the very popular hangout at El Cajon and Menlo have still not surfaced.  Click HERE to remember and dream.



Last, but certainly not least, is the December 16, 1966 Christmas Vacation issue of the Horace Mann Cougar Times student newspaper, courtesy of Dave and Linda Roberts Ponsford.  Click HERE to peruse all eight pages.
