What's the deal with number 10? As far as I know most polio vaccinations are oral (in this country anyway- I know they use the a different "dead" vaccine in Europe and I don't know whether that too, is administered orally). Do they mean a small pox vaccination?

41. Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are cities,
not bands.


Hmmm. Would that be America, Alabama; America, Guinea-Bissau, or America, Nicaragua?

Amusing, as always, that list really gets my attention. I remember once they listed "Paul McCartney used to be in the Beatles? What's a Beatles?" but now McCartney isn't cool anymore.

Mine at least know what a smallpox shot is, as I have a big scar on my arm, and a little one on my forehead.

We have a large collection of vinyl records (2,000 plus), and a record player.

A friend of ours gave them a working Atari player, and they've played Pong, which they think is funny.

They love "Star Wars," and love the special effects, but Ben prefers "Revenge of the Jedi" and Nick, "The Phantom Menace."

Mama wears hard lenses, they last longer, and are still around, you know.

I cook popcorn on the stove, and the kids are learning how, although yesterday Ben put the hot pot on the kitchen table, making a large white spot.

And Jaws still plays on TV all the time.
