While this isn't as funny or interesting as a spice girl playing water games, I received a rather official looking letter from a law office today. It basically was a cease and desist for misgendering my cat.

I constantly refer to my terminally ill boy cat as a princess cat. Mainly because he was like a persian, very fluffy. He has lost much of that with this illness, but I called him that for years and I will continue to...

It must have been slow in the office. It really looks official, obviously pulled from a template. Signed by a real lawyer, not my child who is an intern at a neighboring practice. Hahahaha!

White asparagus?  Haven't seen that.  Then again all I know about it is that it tastes good and if you dig it up with your Tonka construction truck after your Mom has waited three years for it to mature, you catch it hot.

In the early 80s, the Thunderbird CO was killed when he flew through a flock of seagulls at take-off out of Cleveland.  A few months later, his replacement lead four Thunderbirds into the ground in a formation crash at Indian Springs.

Ugh.  Guess they could have utilized the plastic doggies.  Couldn't have hurt and might have helped.

In something sort of related, learned last night that the Thunderbirds flew the F-105 for a few shorts weeks.  I guess one broke apart on them and that was that for the Thud era.

Yeah, I remember reading about that.  The F-105 seemed like an odd aircraft to use in an aerial demonstration team.  It would go like a bat out of hell, particularly on the deck, but it was not agile.  In SEA, F-105 pilots would dive for the deck at full throttle if challenged, they'd soon run the shorter range NV MiGs out of gas.

T.J. On WABC had on a guest last night who had set up some kind of marijuana sting operation that snared some crooked cops.  TJ tried to interview him but he only wanted to yell about dope smoking - in favor of it.  He disparaged the station - he mockingly shrieked when TJ said he had been sober for 20-years and yelled that TJ needed to smoke a joint and drink a beer.  TJ hung up on him and went to open lines.

In studying maps of the world, I had wondered why India owned a little hunk territory between Nepal and Bhutan.  Seemed kind of strange.  Why India has territory between the Himalayan states?

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Looked into it and until fairly recently this was not the case.  That territory was the Kingdom of Sikkim and for centuries was ruled by Priest Kings. 

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Guess this got under the Indians skin and in the mid 70's they put tens of thousands of troops into the Kingdom and held a referendum.  Lo and behold the Anschluss passed and that was the end of the Kingdom of Sikkim.  Don't know enough about it to determine if this was for good or ill for the people there.

In studying maps of the world, I had wondered why India owned a little hunk territory between Nepal and Bhutan...

Before the Europeans showed up, India (including Pakistan and Bangladesh) consisted of some 300 smaller kingdoms.  The various European powers at first wanted to control trade, but slowly took political power from those various entities.  They never incorporated the kingdoms of Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, etc.

In the early 1960s an American named Hope Cooke married the king of Sikkim, and became Queen Consort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Cooke (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Cooke)


India always controlled Sikkim's foreign policy, as they do for Bhutan.  Sikkim is one of several places in the Himalayas where the Chinese military has built roads to the border and well into India, it's the likely main invasion route should they invade India.

One, in what's now northern Pakistan was the Muslim State of Swat.  At one point during its history the term for their leader was Sultan.  There actually was a Sultan of Swat.  Lol.

Rabbit hole alert

I picked this up today
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The artist's relative had this and was downsizing. While she is certainly not a famous artist (Arleen Huseby), she was an art teacher for a continuing education course and did work as a high school art teacher. She married a man (C. Elmo Gillett) who was also an artist. It's obvious they traveled together because I found its twin painting of a Maui beach scene...

I love that they were at the same place doing the same thing.

When I got home, I sent a picture to one of my kids who is demanding that I go pick up another one of her paintings. She did a lot of Southern California stuff and it just looks like home.

If you're still interested in India's map, here's a bit of information I came across a while back.  Apparently there are dozens and dozens of enclaves in India and Bangladesh, some within Bangladesh belonging to India, and vice-versa. 

If that isn't odd enough, some of the enclaves have counter-enclaves within them, and there's even one counter-counter-enclave.  These must have been set tup during partition due to Hindu vs Muslim populations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Bangladesh_enclaves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Bangladesh_enclaves)


Turns out these micro-enclaves are worldwide, including some that affect the US.

That there was a pilot made for a Catch 22 TV show starring Dreyfus as Yossarian

Quote
Here's a failed pilot for a proposed TV series version of the 1970 Mike Nichols film "Catch-22" that aired on the ABC Network (and thus, via WLS Channel 7 in Chicago) on Monday, May 21st 1973 as part of a block of other ultimately unsold (or "busted") pilots (under the banner of "Comedy Trio") that also included "The Barbara Eden Show" (which co-starred Joe Flynn, Roger Perry, Moosie Dryer and Pat Morita) and "The Karen Valentine Show" (starring the perky "Room 222" co-star and "Match Game" panelist Charles Nelson Reilly).

This pilot - involving the goings-on of the 256th Squadron, stationed at  Pianosa, an island off the coast of Italy ("the craziest bomber group in the Air Corps") - starred Richard Dreyfuss as lead bombardier Yossarian, with Dana Elcar as Colonel Cathcart, Frank Welker (perhaps most famous as the voice of "Freddy" on the long-running "Scooby-Doo" cartoon series) as McWatt, Stewart Moss as Korn, Suzanne Zenor as Nurse Duckett, Robert Pratt as Orr, Sam Chew as Aarfy, Nicholas Hammond (who was one of the von Trapp children in "The Sound of Music" and later the star of the short-lived 1978 live-action series version of the "Spider-Man" comics), as Nately, and J.S. Johnson as Doc Daneeka.

The plot starts off with Yossarian (in a voiceover) glad he's not on the latest mission, instead heading back to his girlfriend, Ginger McDougal, back home, after landing his plane at Pianosa to refuel, having completed 30 missions - but his co-pilot's tour of duty is just starting!  As Yossarian notes, Pianosa is a loony bin with a commanding officer who loves to play with toy soldiers, which segues into the opening titles.
