Finally, we get to the end of the “Peggy Sue Got Married” spoof, from 1986. (Xerox was hot then.) I failed to note it was a Christmas story of sorts, but I think that’s obvious. Tomorrow, something else!
Adieu to Peggy Sue

Carl Hiaasen posted on FB that his brother Rob was among those killed in Annapolis today.
Sorry to hear that. Carl is one of my favorite authors.

Have 2 of those plates on the icebox now. Picked up at a swap meet.
Remember when all the state’s plates were very different and there were only
1 plate per state? There was an ad that ran in the Saturday Evening Post (?) that
showed the plates for that year for each state.
Raisin Bran had Cat Eye Marbles.
Nabisco Shredded Wheat had all kinds of things printed on the divider cardboard.
You could make up a whole train. A car or 2 per box.
Make sure you put a tube up into the toe of the shoes when blowing air or moving air will not
get all the way to the tip – unless they are ventilated there.
OB: I remember some publication featuring the license plates for all states on a single page, but do not know what it was. As a kid, my family got Life, National Geographic, and Colliers until it folded. I’m sure it wasn’t the NG, although some WWII issues did have pages of military insignia. Such a display would have been of similar ilk, though the militaria ran a lot more than just one page.
Dad’s usual was Cheerios, but, often enough, Shredded Wheat made an appearance. He ate them with sliced bananas and milk & sugar. I was never a big fan of cereals, especially not the hot farina or oatmeal forced upon me (probably during cold seasons?). Bananas and/or orange juice did it for me. I did make sure to read each box for anything even barely interesting and sent in a few box tops now and then.
If the shoes are still damp later today, I may use a hair drier on them. There is a funeral service I must attend on Saturday. Slippers would not make the cut for that, but I did the weekly shopping today thus clad.
If, as the song says, “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off”, Janis is already 47% there. (I did the math.)
Do they still have those “bars in a pool”? The last one I remember seeing was at a nice hotel on the Gulf Coast back in the 80s. Perhaps “barmaids in bikinis” is one of the reasons I remember it.
