Is there anything more surreal

than a bright yellow stretch VW Bug?


A bright yellow stretch VW Bug with mouse ears and tail. I wish I'd had my camera with me, but I was grocery shopping.

Five random things on a Sunday evening

Well, that was an amazingly quick march through "The Old Curiosity Shop."

The DVD version of "Little Dorrit" has 14 episodes! The PBS airing must have been showing them two or three at once.

Just when I think I'm getting quite handy with the pliers, I set myself a task that turns out to be quite beyond my skills. Nothing ruined but a few head pins, fortunately, but populating that pendant will have to wait a while longer.

Culinary note: I seasoned tonight's catfish fillet with black pepper, ginger, and a squirt of lemon juice. This worked surprisingly well.

Other culinary note: I think I've perfected the avocado-dilla. Smushed avocado, a squirt of lemon, black pepper, grilled in a couple of medium flower tortillas.

For B5 fans ...
