Subj : Various Things (1) To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Feb 01 2023 08:48:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Nope: that's definitely not going to be a turn-on! DS> More like a light switch that no longer works. BM> Hmm: is it the switch or the light it's controlling? DS> More likely the bulb is burned out. :P Hmm: I can relate to that! DS> I saw a video on where Brightline, a private carrier, is adding DS> passenger rail service for the Florida East Coast Railroad, which DS> last ran passenger trains in 1967. Currently, they run only from DS> Miami to West Palm Beach, but track was recently completed at a DS> westward turn at Cocoa, to head to the Orlando International DS> Airport. At one of the grade crossings, where they were building DS> the new right of way, and adding new tracks...there was a signal DS> box (bungalo) that would have to be moved, because it was in the DS> path of the new track. Well if that's the only thing needing to be moved not a bad job of planning! OTOH the signal box probably has a ton of wiring and controls in it, and of course can't simply be sliced and stuck in a junction box underground. BM> You're wearing your pants teen-age style slung below your rump and BM> going commando?! DS> The latter is only during the night...as that's when nature DS> calls the most...plus for 5 hours after Lasix out-pee-forms DS> itself. No hose to the bucket by the bed?! BM> ...Sure is quiet! DS> Good...I can sleep for a few days. Constant?! BM> I remember watching it while doing homework, though as I got into the BM> show the homework was only during the commercials. There were some BM> shows I'd do my homework during the show and watch the commercials! (I BM> Mostly did my homework in my room at my desk.) DS> That's like from the movie "Seems Like Old Times". The butler, DS> Chester, was supposed to be stirring the sauce for the chicken DS> pepperoni...but he was watching the TV instead...and "watching DS> the sauce during the commercial breaks". I have NEVER seen a TV DS> program, show, or even a play, where there isn't some kind of DS> eating/meal scene. Hmm: since you don't watch TV.... Use of the eating/meal is probably a good way for the characters to be shown as relaxing, socializing, etc. FOOD FIGHT!!! BM> Dumm-de-dumm. Can I sit next to you? .... whapped with purse> DS> There were 2 instances of that with the old man (Artie DS> Johnson), and the old lady (Ruth Buzzi). He is approaching her on DS> the park bench, and she is trying to get away from him. He says DS> "I just want to ask you a question". So, she lets him ask it. DS> Artie: "Do you believe in the hereafter??". DS> Ruth: "Of Course I Do". DS> Artie: "Then, you know what I'm here after". Their play on words was good! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
