Thanks Wally! I agree with you on the raw milk. No thanks.

Found this on NPR when looking deeper into it before I saw your reply: https://www.npr.org/2024/12/06/nx-s1-5220272/testing-usda-bird-flu-raw-milk-california

I was reading more about the bird flu and it is a very concerning situation, there is a fair chance it could be the next pandemic. Let's hope it never learns how to jump from human to human easily, so far the people who got it have got it birds and cows. Selling raw milk in Canada is illegal, for good reason.

Carl Reiner (Rob's dad)

didn't invent the television situation comedy (arguably, Jackie Gleason did), but perfected it.

Innovative on several counts, not least the introduction of a sitcom within a sitcom, "The Dick Van Dyke Show"

en.m.wikipedia.org

The Dick Van Dyke Show - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org en.m.wikipedia.org

was both a domestic comedy and an office comedy.

Featuring stellar writing and a magnificent cast, the program was the first to grant American TV viewers a peek inside a young married couple's bedroom (even if they had separate beds), also presenting black characters as members of the middle and professional class, a rarity at the time.

Guest stars included Danny Thomas, Richard Dawson, Wally Cox, Godfrey Cambridge & Don Rickles, many character actors of the day, and often, production numbers performed by cast members.

The great Dick Van Dyke, a devotee of Stan Laurel and gifted physical comedian, played Rob Petrie, head writer for "The Allen Brady Show."

(Reiner is a scene stealing scream as the demanding, egomaniacal host, modeled after Gleason & Milton Berle, not, as many assume, "Your Show Of Shows"'s star Sid Caesar.)

Comfortablely within my Top 10 TV Sitcom Hall Of Fame.

Dick Van Dyke, who had his troubles with alcohol, will celebrate birthday number 99 Friday,

Dick Van Dyke, Approaching 99, Dances in Coldplay’s Latest Video

In the clip, which was filmed in October, Van Dyke sings, dances barefoot and offers meditations on aging, family and love.

A year ago today, our community was hit by tornados. Can't believe it's already been a year. Some businesses have been rebuilt, others were not able to recover and closed permanently.

It's also the one year anniversary of my car getting hit by the box truck.

Let's just say 12/9/2023 is not my favorite date in history.

It's been a crazy year for me on so many levels.

My daughter, who moved from Kingston Ontario to NYC two years ago to work at Columbia University as a Research Technician, was offered a Masters combined with a PhD program (five years) at the school (Biomedical Engineering). I was just lucky if I spelled it correctly. I am amazed at how fast things can change with a lot of work (Her, not me) and luck, I guess. Ali helped us with some HR issues she was concerned about (Thanks again Ali). What an Amazing year. She wasn't there very long that she was basically running the lab. What a great girl.

Our payroll provider rep left a message for me to call him back about an issue we were having. I called him back within five minutes and identified myself. He then asked for my high school mascot, name of favorite pet, and mothers maiden name before he would talk to me. :facepalm:

That sounds like phishing to me. Did you confirm it was actually the person they said they were?

I had 3 people call me today after they got fake offer letters from us. Tis the season for scammers. I don't answer my phone on purpose. My voicemail tells people to email me and if they do, then I know it is usually a legitimate person.
