My son's favorite movie is Labyrinth.

Just before Christmas I heard that Christmas song with David Bowie on the radio and said, "Hey Khan! Listen!"

Khan (eyes wide): 'The Goblin King is singing!'

Finally yanking the engine out of this old dump truck I bought, and will attempt to rebuild it. 391FT motor is huge, but looks relatively small sitting in the cavernous engine compartment of the 1977 Ford F800.

Don't ever take down your curtains to wash them. Because you'll then notice how dusty the top of the sill and the blinds and the rods are and then you start wondering about the tops of the door frames and the other windows and after that it's just a really dirty downward spiral into an hour of dusting stuff no one sees.

So here's the thing about that movie "Elysuim" (spoilers!): at the end, they send the medical shuttles to Earth with the magical healing machines that can heal any wound or illness and thus extend human life far beyond its natural span, right?

Ha! That would last about three minutes here! The paint wouldn't be dry before someone vandalized it.

Looks cool, though.

Today at work this guy was buying "Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said" by Philip K. Dick.

Me: "This is my favorite Dick book!"

Customer: "Oh, you like Dick too?"

Me: "Yeah!"

...it wasn't until later that I realized.

One of my brothers got personalized plates, "PB CUPS" ... something about the family patronymic ...
