Is Arlo a pedantic smartass or a smartass pedantic? There’s a current cartoon coming up later this week in newspapers that is very much in this vein. This cartoon from 2003 ran online not very long ago, but I’m away from my desk this morning and suffering connectivity issues on top of all, so I just grabbed something off the shelf. I do like this one. It’s very Arlo & Janis.

Gypped. Forgive the rant. I am just that old. I listened to Def Leppard on radio enroute to Walmart and my blood pressure went back down.
Bass fishing tournament is big news here in McAlester, Oklahoma tonight.
I’m a mere 63, so I’m of the generation of band students who also played in jazz bands and visited Memphis clubs for the real music when we turned 18. We loved Beale Street! And we traveled in groups since things were already getting rough in the early 70s.
Saw on my cable guide this afternoon TWC was presenting a weather special (I guess that’s what they call their reality shows now) entitled “Oklahoma: Tornado Target”.
Is that supposed to be like the old sick joke “If there were no mobile home parks, would there still be tornadoes?”
As I’ve said, I like pretty much all genres of music, and the fact I haven’t heard some of it yet just means I can still enjoy discovering it.
Jackie, I am old enough to remember the older generation running down the Beatles because of their hairstyles. And now I am the older generation who doesn’t think “music” should consist of something that sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of drunken sailors in the middle of a bar fight, consisting mainly of those 7 words Carlin said you couldn’t say on the radio.
Good night ladies, and gentlemen, it’s time for me to go! But short day tomorrow and today was payday. Woohoo!
Oh, one more thing. One good thing in the long-delayed rebuilding of my section of Tuscaloosa after the huge tornado of 2011. The city has announced they will be building a new train station on the site of what was a shopping center, within easy walking distance from my house. Since Amtrak took over the Crescent from Southern Railroad they have been using the 1920’s era Southern station. It’s a nice relic of that period but it can’t be modernized to meet ADA standards and parking consists of about 6 spaces. The former shopping center is currently an eyesore of an empty parking lot with a few foundation bits and some tall weeds. So I hope they begin soon.
Debbe 😉 A shot of the ‘Sixties. You remember them, don’t you?

Hey, I just told you good night too early Cinderella. I just had an interesting shopping experience at a Walmart I skip, the one just south of me in McAlester. It was a totally alien experience and I do not mean that in a prejudicial way.
The employees were stocking store, somewhat like a swarm, fascinating with all the fork lifts and carts and moving trains coming out at speeds hard to dodge. I gave up on some items.
Ghost, send me a requisition and I will mail you some tamari for your oriental food, it was back on a gluten free shelf unit if they don’t wheel it somewhere else. They had the good stuff.

Wife to be (hadn’t asked her yet) had 4 wisdom teeth removed at one time –
then went to friends wedding next day looking like a chipmunk.
I still have 3 of mine – maybe that is why I am so wise (a$$)

Good morning all. I am just in driveway.
Had all four of my wisdom teeth done at once in hospital, a major surgical experience do to them growing sideways and then not emerging but decaying anyway. The surgeon kept me in hospital about a week and I was still having bits of bone emerge at odd moments a decade later.
No fond memories there. I have a short mouth, jaw line, just a big mouth as it pertains to being out spoken. No room for teeth. I have beautiful teeth, paid in full, but do not count them. Not right number.
Due do Hal.
Good morning Villagers….
Wake up everybody…If I can’t sleep, ya’ll can’t either.
Jean, saw Neil Diamond in ’72, he was my first concert. Was living in an all girl dorm, going to business college then, I was going to be a secretary, now politically corrected to administrative assistant. I even had to take an etiquette class, another girl and I were told women don’t smoke on public sidewalks back then…..
Jackie, thought of you and will try to get into my email.

If this is true, and I have some 75,000 Miss Prissies out in the hen house, then I am one happy, hippy chick 🙂
Good to see Miss Charotte drop in.
Mark, I have Encore, and my package runs close to $100 a month….it’s just a $5 package. I like the western channel….
Oh my cat, watched Tom Selleck last night in a western….and yes, he does sit well in a saddle. I sure do like his westerns.
And another oh my cat….hot (92 degrees) and muggy today. Monday they start building the ‘changing’ room in my packing room. This is going to be a pain in the butt. We change into our ‘uniforms’ (navy blue scrubs) from our street clothes. Feet can’t hit the floor, and change shoes. Asked farm manager to get me some of the ‘footies’ to protect my shoes. And no, I am not wearing my hazmat suit today….not at 92 degrees.
Later…and it’s Payday for me….
GR 😉 had an 8 track tape of them…’feed your head’…do I remember the sixties? Yes, I was a little ahead of my time back then too.

Debbe 😉 Someone once told me that if you remember the ‘Sixties, you did ’em wrong.
Debbe, that pic looks like Cat Fu in action.
Had 4 teeth removed for braces and all four wisdom teeth removed. They put me out and later woke me up to tell me that my dad had had a stroke and was in the hospital. Terrible about the Blue Angel pilot. The last crash was also number 6 and it was also the pilot’s first year flying. They should retire the number 6. You know about the Thunderbird crash the same day after flying over the president. Did you know that the Russian team also had a crash? Just heard that there’s been a major quake in California and got to check that out.
Had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once by oral surgeon in Nashville. Wish I could remember his name as he was excellent. Had no postop pain or complications. Only time I have had dental work done under anesthesia and least stressful of all I have had done. There was one complication in the pre-op exam involving the x-ray equipment they used to get full mouth films. It was a remotely controlled device that allowed you to stand while having your entire mouth x-rayed at once. When I came back to the office the following week for the surgery, they told me I broke the machine. They had to raise it so high to reach my mouth when I was standing, it stuck in the up position and they had to get a tech in to release it!
I had a dental implant about 10 years ago. The periodontist scheduled an hour. It took 2 1/2. He promised to call later in the day as he was sure that I would be in pain as the tooth broke up as he was extracting. When he called at 4:00, I asked him when the pain would kick in. He was very relieved.
Unfortunately it took several attempts to get the implant to take. During the bone graphing process on the 2nd attempt it became infected right in the middle of Saturday night Mass. I called the answering service and he called in some major pain medicine and told me to be at the office on Monday. Even though I had a bad experience, I always recommended him as he was a good guy that cared. I did not have to pay after the first attempt, so that might have had something to do with it.
Bunch of weenies! 🙂 They sat me in a chair, injected some Novocaine, and started extracting wisdom teeth…while a dental assistant and his buddy with a wired-together jaw looked over the shoulders of the oral surgeon and discussed what the surgeon was doing.
“See what he’s doing now?”
“Ahn, ur woowoo rake.”
Then they gave me four Darvons, and I walked out of the base hospital and caught a shuttle bus to the transit barracks, trying not to let any of the mouthful a blood I had drip out. Went back two days later for the the surgeon to pull the single suture he had used. Military dentistry at its finest!
Mark: Glad to hear about your new train station, but I hope the old one can be preserved. We also wish the Sunset Limited would be restored to its full east-to-west-coast run.
OF due 0935-0955 CDT. Peace,

CXP,
Consider yourself lucky that you have strong bone growth. I now have a bridge where I formerly had a titanium implant. This happened in 2013… My dentist went in to remove the cover on the threaded portion of the implant to place the temporary crown. When he twisted, the entire implant turned and basically fell out of my jaw. Seems the high levels of parathyroid and poor calcium/phosphorus balance had done in my bones. You may recall the other issues I had later with broken foot bones and torn-up knees… good bones are a good thing!
Tell me again which C & W star you look like Ghost? I need that to offset the mental picture you just gave me of your dental surgery.
You are a vivid writer by the way. Are you like me, trying to figure out how to write it without offending those you’d prefer not to upset? There are those.
I had all four wisdom teeth pulled when I was in high school-two one day and the other to a week later. Since then just a lot of fillings until I hit my 50s. Now I’m missing several other back teeth, the most recent two having been pulled a month ago. So far no implants, but my dentist is talking about the possibility. If he has his way I will pass from this vale with as many of my original teeth as possible still in place.
Ghost Sweetie, one of the things I sometimes regret about my life is that I spent the sixties in high school in a very small town in Georgia, and didn’t have much of a chance to not remember anything about that whole era. 🙂
And yes, Nonny Mouse, that also meant that I had to listen to what my mom liked on the radio unless I closed myself in my room and listened to contraband on my little transistor radio.
