We've been watching some of the old "Gunsmoke" and other westerns at

For the time, it was pretty good, with powerful

I've not gone out with a redhead.

Most (all but one) of the shows we saw were in black and white so no way
to tell if she was a redhead. I only caught part of the show in color,
didn't see her in it.

I wasn't that much of a watcher in the
first place and don't recall when I first
saw color TV (not our own), but she was
definitely a redhead.

Some lady started a conversation with me yesterday,
possibly under the delusion that I was that person.

Who did she think you were this time? (G)

Eddie Lee, which would have been impossible anyway,
as he died a year ago.

Not much wrong with that. Remember the Monty
Python sketch about "how not to be seen"?

No, never saw it.

As with so much of their work, it's absurdist
comedy bordering (but I think not quite in the
territory; some would disagree) on the deranged.

Pig, yes; snake, well, pathological people
have rights, too. The consistent solution
would be to say, okay, if you're that messed
up, your being on a plane at all is a public
hazard, so go away.

And how do they expect to fed/water/exercise the animal? Can't take

I don't think snakes need much food/water/eercise.
A mouse a week or something like that.

OK, feed the snake before getting on the plane. I don't think many
passengers would care for the idea of a live mouse in addition to the
snake on the plane. Don't want the mouse to get loose either.

The x key isn't working well, and sometimes the
H key makes an N. It's terrible when the keyboard
also gets CRS. I'm pretty sure that an emotional
support mouse wouldn't fly.

No, but some people have done well in the last century or so by

Post or > Syvester Graham.

I'd guess that ecessively picky eating is a
neurosis, a luxury born of wealthy times, and
in the long run a survival negative trait.

But generally not encouraged by most parents.

The condition is common enough that I'm afraid
your assessment is optimistic.

Hi Michael,

And most of the Indians spoke very good English--or very broken English.
That always seemed rather odd to me. But, you're right--it's hard to
judge an older show (or whatever) by current values/standards.

Natural or otherwise?

A name I'm not familiar with.

IOW, not worth the bother to look it up.

I was thinking the mouse was to be the food for the emotional support
snake--if the snake were allowed on the plane in the first place.

Steve and I both grew up in families where it was not supported. It
might be a generational thing--some generations the parents support
picky eaters, others don't. We didn't with our girls, and they now enjoy
a wide variety of foods--well beyond the meat and potatoes sort of meals
I was brought up with.

Agreed, very much so. Enough salt in those bullion cubes to last you a
week or more.
