I can't believe America's 250th

birthday is just one week away.

WOO HOO!

I found SCREAM 7 on 4K Ultra and Blu-ray today and I will be

watching this one tooooNIGHT. I don't know how, but I have managed

to stay away from every possible spoiler out there. Either I was very

lucky, or absolutely nothing noteworthy happens in SCREAM 7. I hope

it is the former. Anyway, my popcorn is waiting and will find out soon!

Okay, I found just one more cactus pup that I am
going to put into dirt. I am posting this because
I want to be able to look back and see how
much he has grown.

And here he is in his new home, hopefully to be very
happy. He was watered really well and now I won't
touch him for a few weeks. Take in the sun, my friend.

Take in the sun.

Here is another something else
I bought a LONG time ago.

Opera-Singer Homer and a Leprechaun. I bought

these at Toys "R" Us when I am sure that there was

nothing else I wanted and money was burning a hole

in my pocket. There were times that I just didn't want

to come home empty-handed. Yeah, not good.

But you gotta get 'em all. (I didn't.)
I do love The Simpsons though.

Check out this little hand crank paper shredder.
I have no idea where it came from.

It's pretty cool until you realize that it doesn't

accept anything bigger than a standard size business

envelope. And it doesn't cross-cut the paper.
Still, for little things I guess....

And for the more litigious folks dreaming of a big payday,
they may want to look elsewhere. This company appears to
have thought of everything.

For your safety:
- Do not insert hands into the shredding slot.
- Do not insert ties or necklaces into the shredding slot.
- Do not insert paperclips into the shredding slot.
- Do not insert gingerbread men into the shredding slot.

I was walking through the parking lot on my way in

to buy some postage stamps and I spotted this in a car.
They must REALLY be lovin' some baseball butts.

Happy National Fishing Day, 2026!

And no catch and release in this family. We catch it, we clean it, we eat it.

I grew up fishing. But it has actually been a long while since I have fished.
Just not been in the cards. But I love to fish
and I love me some rainbow trout.

Celebrate the day!
Go catch a fish!

And here is another picture that I took with my Swinger Polaroid Land

Camera in 1968. This is at Prop Plaza, the halfway point on the Universal

Studios Tour (Los Angeles) at that time. You were able to exit the tram and

walk around to see a lot of props used from movies and TV shows before

boarding another tram to continue the tour.

The prop in the photo above is a giant (you will have to take my word
for it) bus bench that was used for the TV show,
Land of the Giants (1968–1970).

~ National Flag Day, 2026 ~

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,

and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under

God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
