Ah, yes. And by the time we get to Cromarty, I am usually drifting off into a gentle daydream. It doesn't take long.

I was usually done by the Rockall & Malin approaches.

Perhaps these boys of yours can help keep you awake. Or at least give you some good daydreams.

Loved that show! KITH is one of the best things to ever come out of Canada.

Now if we could get them to take back that flaked-out munchkin Justin Bieber and his goofy Uncle Ted Cruz...

All that canned laughter was annoying. I cannot believe it was live.
And I don't speak French.

The Fulton Fish Market is gone (I used to work on a scallop dragger out of that port), and the area is now a maritime museum, but last I looked, Louie's was still there at 92 South Street. Same menu, but more upscale prices now for the tourist trade.

Things from our youth that kept us so occupied but the kids of today would probably laugh at us over:

Mexican Jumping Beans, Silly Putty, and Slinkies.

They're all still available in the US, and not entirely lacking in amusement value. I don't think frijoles saltarines (jumping beans) are sold in the UK anymore. These seed pods may be less popular since if they are well-cared for, the larvae inside will pupate and emerge as moths. Could put some people of to them as a toy for the kids.

I haven't heard his name invoked or seen Kilroy graffiti since I was in college back in the late 70's. Thanks for a great memory, Sam.
