I have this jacket. Got it free collecting discarded clothes. Used it for a few various party functions in the 70s and early 80s. It was perfect except for a white paint splotch on the back. Doesn't fit anymore, so I must pass it on. 😢 #ColumboTV

Heading out shortly to a #NoKings protest in Concord, NC, in a Republican-heavy area. Hoping to motivate independents / unaffiliated to vote in the upcoming mid-terms. Got my flags to wave. I haven't missed one of these protests, even when traveling in Nashville, TN and Savannah, GA. #USPol #NCPol

Two smallish American flags on sticks, as one would wave in each hand in a protest.

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ GOLDEN VOYAGE OF TRIVIA ⛵🌊 Ray Harryhausen made tonight's feature a tribute to one of his inspirations, The Thief of Bagdad (1940). One similarity: Kali's dance copies many of the moves of the six-armed 'robot' in the earlier film. #GoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

#TVMysteries squad, In NOLA, where Mardi Gras ends today, the Muses Parade (largest all-women parade) had a mystery theme. I got a couple of screen caps from a parade replay. (FYI: I was on a float last year in the Endymion Parade.)

Float from Muses parade at Mardi Gras, with a green and orange spoof of the Scooby Doo cartoon Mystery Machine van. The characters from the cartoon are painted onto the "window". It has the following written on the side of the van: Shoo-B-Doo Mystery Machine. This refers to the most desired "throw" from this parade, the famous decorated shoes.

[alc] Hey @randy_s At V-Day dinner tonight, I had an "Ultra-Violet Ube" Made of citrus-forward Gray Whale gin, rich Ube syrup (purple yam-based!), lemon, with garnish of edible flowers. Looked cool. Very sweet but creamy mouthfeel. They could have used a more herbal gin for balance.
