I wonder if it was one of our friends from Texas who wrote in "a box of tarantulas" rather than vote for one of the presidential candidates on the ballot. That was in Harris County, if you're interested. From the Texas Tribune.

It was me.

Apparently you weren't the only one, then. I went back to check the article after posting the link and found that I'd misquoted it. They described a write-in from your neck of the desert as "a bag of tarantulas." You folks down there must have been especially nihilistic about our politics this year.

This year? More like every year!

That explains a lot.

Today I learned (one might add, again!) that one's living room will not automatically expand to fit a Christmas tree that looked perfectly normal-sized out on the tree farm.

As pathetic as this is, I don't have enough data to watch videos any more. I've looked into Wi-Fi but apparently I live in the black hole of internet service now.

I'm pretty sure I know what movie it's based upon but I still am a bit speechless at the twist!

I posted the Airplane scene with Johnny.

"Johnny, what do you make of this?"
"I can make a hat, or a broach, or a pterodactyl!!!"

Maybe I haven't seen that. I can't remember the name of the movie I was thinking about it referencing.

When it came out, I was in charge of movie-going in the family and then later, when it hit video, I owned the remote control. Simple,really.
