Transforming Into A Svengoolie Fan
We’re on a Svengoolie roll lately. I watched the Svengoolie show last Saturday and the made for TV movie was Dan Curtis’ Dracula. It was made in 1974. I thought I’d never seen this film before but that final scene in which Dracula (played by the phenomenal heavy, Jack Palance) gets skewered looked familiar. I…

Closing the Loop on All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Search for Extraterrestrials?
Just in case you haven’t already heard, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) revealed the lack of evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrials from the reports about what we used to call UFOs. And NASA has said basically the same thing. So, is there anything left to say about this? Probably not from the official…

Fake Snakes Saga Slithers On
The fake snake saga continues with not much change in scaring off birds, evidently. Bird poop calling cards are still being left. I repositioned them and we’re hoping for the best. This reminds me that the other night I was awakened by what I was pretty sure was an owl and dogs raising a ruckus…

Make or Break Escape Plan When Your Car is in a Flood
Sena and I saw a Weather Channel segment on how to escape your car if it is sinking during a flood. It’s mainly a reminder to turn around, don’t drown. However, there were a couple of interesting things about it. One was the quiz, in the format of a “how would you survive?” quiz with…

Sena Says Chase Away the Winter Blues, Try Lume!
Sena said I could give you an update on the Lume products. Remember, she said this was OK. She’s actually happy with the product. She uses it as recommended by the creator, who recommends applying it “under boobs, butt crack, pits,” and so on. That’s how the commercials go. We shoveled snow and scraped ice…

Sena Gets Her Lume!
Sena finally got her Lume products delivered yesterday. That’s right, I said “Lume,” the total body odor remover you see being advertised on TV. I can’t bear to watch them, which might say something about how we’re socialized to avoid confronting our own B.O. In my defense, the commercials have been described as “in your…

New Aromatherapy Diffusers!
Sena got some new aromatherapy diffusers made by Studio 66. They have a magical glow. One has a design of cardinals on it and it is titled Winter Ice (or Mistletoe, depending on what side of the box you read). The box says it smells like sweet orange, warm cinnamon, juniper berries and eucalpytus. The…

The Geezer Remarks on Superfoods
Sena is big on eating healthy, which is a good thing. On the other hand, we don’t necessarily always like the same foods. And there’s the whole issue of what people call superfoods nowadays. Funny, when I was a kid, I used to just refer to superfoods as “yuck!” There are variant spellings. I read…

Darned Rhinorrhea Interrupting People
I’ve been having a runny nose recently that is intermittent and often related to eating hot foods. I have to get up from the dinner table and blow my nose, especially if we’re having hot soups or chili. I’ve been making fun of it, saying it’s caused by the nasal hair condensation index. You could…

Rube Goldberg Contraptions and Other Updates
Just random updates for now. That 2-person 6 ball pass juggle Sena and I made a YouTube about? We could barely complete a couple of volleys, and we didn’t think we’d ever make much more progress. However, yesterday, we were starting to make 3, even 4 passes and cascades. Just when you think it’s hopeless….…
