Dallas--- a city of culture and sophistication. Heard on the radio this morning that the annual raw oyster eating contest takes place this weekend. Men have 5 minutes, women 2, to swallow all the raw oysters possible. Then you have to keep them down for five minutes. If you lose them, you're disqualified. After five minutes, you can do whatever you want. THe record is 250 for men, 150 for women. I like oysters. Hmmmm... MOVIE TRIVIA QUESTION! Name the movie that has a dream sequence pie eating contest where some big fat guy hurls blueberry pie all over the audience. ANd I don't know the answer; I just remember the scene----vividly.

I can remember going to the post office in the little town where my grandmother lived. Box 109, B 7 opened it. That was 40 years ago. Don't know why they put locks on the boxes, people were always picking up their neighbors mail. If you forgot the combination to your neighbor's box Mr. Hayes would hand you their mail. That post office is long gone, now the mail comes from another town and is delivered. Illinois has a list of 1,700 things that can't be used on a vanity plate. I would guess Tampex is on that list. I did have a woman stop when I was at the library and comment that she hadn't seen Swahili since she left Kenya when she saw my Bwana plate.
