    Edies Driving.

    Since in real life, she was a non-driver, it was probably rather humorous that she had to spend time "behind the wheel."

    Edies Driving.

    One item of interest is that when they made westerns, the stagecoach driver actually had to be able to handle the team of horses. It takes a lot of skill to handle four or six horses at one time. Probably they had person riding shotgun not so much to protect the passengers but the treasure chest...

    Star Trek - banned by the BBC

    The last time I saw "The Empath," I was in high school, so that's quite awhile, but there are some things about that episode that stood out. Most of that episode involved the Empath, a blue curtain, and how she had empathy. Not too sure where one or more of those four subjects listed above apply.

    So nobody mentioned Kit Kat, a candy bar invented in Leeds? Oh, for shame.

    That's Not Diesel

    Steam is so dramatic, so interesting to watch as those locomotives pass by.

    Back in medieval times when water was not drinkable, mulled wine was a welcome drink.

    Another Year Gone

    In the middle of a rerun of Perry Mason, watched the Ball Drop and listened to Frank sing his homage to New York. Oh that tickles the heart! Then finished watching Perry Mason. Tonight, saw the sun set, the purple clouds were amazing. Happy New Year Everyone!

    What are you hoping for

    I celebrated Boxing Day by mailing off a box. Our wonderful mailman advised us that the box did not have a USPS return label (but rather a UPS label), thereby saving us a useless trip to the post office.

    What are you hoping for

    Speaking of turkeys, if one were to be advised of the inside scoop on their lives prior to being the main dish, one would be totally aghast. Vegetarians unite!

    Similarities

    Well, there are the walls. In LOTSW, Compo walks on top of walls, and in KUP, Hyacinth, to keep the truth about her family from Elizabeth, climbs over a wall.

    Hurry. The tide leaves in six minutes.

    Speaking of tides, somewhere in England there is a tide that goes up a river and due to a natural funnel action, this creates a wave. And man o man, when you have a wave, surfers are on it! By the hundreds!

    Summerwine folk and Animals

    Actually, in Japan it is a known fact that octopuses in this one island area normally come out of the water and "walk" briefly on a rocky hillside.

    Oh dear, it finally came to me -- that (ahem) I, yes, saw that -- yup, when I was a child and it has occurred to me that -- my parents fit that model. Yep, Nora and Wally to the "T."

    I actually do this :(

    Yes, my left arm has a significant tan and the left side of my face always requires more work. But, I never turn the radio down to parallel park because I never parallel park.

    For Gordon Wharmby fans

    Then Gordon went through a period of time which can be characterized as "self-doubt" and a traumatic period of growth as an actor. Alan Bell hung in there with him and eventually Gordon came to an understanding and self-realization.

    Storm Darragh

    Oddly enough I watch NHK which is a Japanese Public Broadcasting channel (always in English). They have a 15 minute newscast at the top of the hour and they always show the weather, including Great Britain. Of course the temperature is always in Celsius, but still it's interesting to see what...
