That’s great! The printed M&M’s with your likeness! Very sweet (Lol). Reminds me of this logo from the 70s.

Missed Deferrals and the Dangers of AI (Tap to expand photo for caption). I was doing a final review of a podcast before publication and came across this howler. She said “missed deferrals” but the AI caption software had it as “Mister Furls.”
Screenshot from a podcast episode on benefits law shows a woman facing the camera in mid-sentence. The caption along the bottom says MISTER FURLS.

Picked this one up at Chaucer’s Books in Santa Barbara.
Stack of books in a bookstore. The book is Spare by Prince Henry. There’s a note nearby that says Local Author as Harry & Meghan live just a few minutes from Chaucer’s Books in Santa Barbara.

If you look for it, you can see signs around town of those trapped in the body of a stuffed animal. Here, Mr. Cadwalader is resigned to his forever fate.
A very large stuffed animal teddy bear sits next to a dumpster.

Lemme guess. It’s a story about switching bodies with a stuffed toy. It’s a recurring dream of my dog.

Yes! In the early days, before their first hit album, Look at Us, they recorded some singles under Caesar & Cleo.

Currently listening to Cher's autobiography "Cher: The Memoir." She narrates about half saying in the intro that she's very dyslexic so reading isn't her strong suit and has someone else read some sections. But OMG did she and her mother ever grow up dirt poor! I had no idea. She overcame adversity.

The writing on the show Shrinking is so good. The insults are like no other, and the rejoinders are especially funny.

Most of the other Paul Bunyan statues in California have him holding a 2-bladed axe, which is called a butterfly axe. So it still doesn’t make sense but that’s all I got. And yes, I knew that because I know useless stuff.

Gotta get myself to the Fullerton Train Museum sooner than later. Haven't been in ages. I love trains. How many trains are there at Disneyland? A fair number to be sure. Rode the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway in Alaska over the summer. Great views! wpyr.com/excursions/
White Pass & Yukon Route Railway departs from Skagway, AK. Photo depicts train hugging the cliff while it crosses the trestle and into a tunnel.

Back in the 90's, Ames had an open house. Got to see the ginormous wind tunnel from the observation room. Just absolutely jaw droppingly huge. Can fit a whole big airplane in there, not just a wing. Did I mention it was big?

As a HUGE Steve Martin fan, in the ‘late 70s, sat next to him at a tennis tourny. Told him I loved his book Cruel Shoes. He got up and moved. Sent him a couple pages of jokes in the early ‘80s and he actually used one. I’m making progress.
