Man, you guys are EXPERTS on over the counter drugs. Never seen anything like it. I DON'T GET COLDS AND FLU!!! hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! Oh HAH hahaha. But really, you guys are sickly. Sickly. Sick, sick, sick. I remember the last time I got the flu. It was in Portland, in about 1974. There was this young couple next door, and from my window I had a side view of their otherwise enclosed porch. They came out on the porch one weekday before seven, and jumped on each other. Shoving chairs, sweaters flying ~ quite a racket. I remember thinking, "Uuuuughhh. If I wasn't so sick I can't turn my head, I would either look away, or be enjoying this." Boy, it was over in a hurry. Guy jumps up, and THEN pulls his pants up. Hey! What if Mrs Gelb was across the street? Dash is very excited, (he and MJ are discussing all the teams and don't listen to a thing I say), because he is WORKING ON THE HOTEL where the Gonzagas or GonZongas or whatever are staying. (He says they're Zagettes. Are they?) But NOT AS EXCITED as he would be if it was the UCONN Hotel!!! I always think those guys are Yukon. And I think, they have enough guys up there for college basketball? To be competitive?

I was just thinking about the Yukon economy. When there was gold, and Chaplin, there. There really was gold, but apparently as is usual, all the provisioners conspire to get it all and individuals rarely get rich. They get tired, frustrated, and dirty. Pan fried and Syphyllis. It's a pathetic economic firestorm/cycle. Like that guy who bought up all the shovels and pans in San Fran and then ran around shouting "There's gold in them there hills!!! What a sleazy, venerable bastard. Here, you can use this shovel to hit yourself over the head, and avoid the whole experience. Five dollars. Anyway, what I was getting to, was I thought about when you're like the last or first people to figure out that there isn't any gold; or that only the ladies, food servers and shovel kings are getting rich, and you better get to some new town and buy the shovels; or you're freezing and need to just go back to Mamma's in San Francisco and get misty and watch it all on Yerba Buena Vistavision. You're "pulling up stakes." Everybody's heard this phrase. Now. Are those: 1) Canvas tent (120.00) stakes (150.00), or 2) Claim stakes? (Corners) The explainer smartypants may claim their Special Yukon Frozen Stakes. Second place is a pair of Levi Strauss "Beta Blue Jeans."

Breaking and True Headline News: I was just in the kitchen, getting my soup, (heh heh soup kitchen!), and MJ says, Look what's in the dish drainer." I did. "It's a snail" "Yah." "That's funny." [This is just a headline, additional story-text may or may not follow later.]
