Garlic Gal couldn't make it as she was still cleaning up from the Gilroy Garlic Festival. She is very involved with that big event every year.<br /><br /><br />I had errands to run this morning. I HAD to spend my $10.00 cash from Kohls before it expired. I now have another $10.00<br />cash reward which expires in two days. As you can tell I spent $10.00 plus at the Department store. I think that is the reason Kohl's gives out those incentives.

I did get the theme and had all the "bars" in easily. I didn't spell Parc with a C, but a K. Nestles Krunch looked just fine to me. So technically a DNF for me.<br /><br />I thought the clues for Name, Idol and Pats were all fun. <br /><br />My granddaughter took a trip to Canada to see some rock concert, and I had "Loonies" to give to her that we had brought back and not exchanged before entering the US. She appreciated them, and I didn't have them in my car console bridge toll stash anymore. A win win for both of us.<br /><br />My paper was missing the section with our LAT crossword yesterday, so I will go back and read yesterday's blog a bit later. I didn't do the puzzle and really missed my fix.<br /><br />I've never watched LOST, either. I'm also not watching DOME which some people are liking. We tend more toward mysteries, and sitcom comedy or Masterpiece Theater. Not much of a Sci-Fi fan.<br /><br />Have a great day, everyone.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-50071112463906196952013-07-31T16:52:51.266-05:002013-07-31T16:52:51.266-05:00I can't get Keith's pooch either.

I am the real Vidwan ...... No really.
Some...Hey ! I am the real Vidwan ...... No really.<br /><br />Someone's been impersonating me - quit it, I say !<br /><br />Anyway, the Cleveland baseball stadium (Indians ) beer night incident - and the resulting riot - was in 1974 - That was 39 years ago .....<br /><br />Things haven't improved much - we're still losing badly, and the attendance at the new Baseball field - the Jacob's field / Progressive field is still at its all time low. About 5000 per game. The local newspaper had a survey done, recently - more inner city school kids can name the President of the USA, than even name one Cleveland Indian ball player !!! Now, that's bad ....<br /><br /><br /> Now, they have a promotion of 99 cents hot dogs, at every game, with no limit on purchases ..... That's going to last another 5 games, until fans discover they can buy hot dogs even cheaper than that at the Walmart. What the Indians management needs to realize is that they now have to try desperate measures - " One toke over the line" - ( See yesterday's clues ....) - all for $ 0.99 - if they still want the fans back. <br /><br /> I still kinda doubt it though. Fans are already too stoned to attend. Maybe they need to hand some of that stuff to the ball players. Couldn't hurt.<br /><br />To the impersonator - I really don't follow sports, in Cleveland or elsewhere - For obvious reasons.Vidwan827noreply@blogger.com
