On the other hand, maybe we are reading to much into what may well just be Blaine’s sincere excuse, like readers of poems who posit meanings that the poet never intended, consciously at least.<br /><br />Maybe Blainozzie really was installing an entertainment system at Hernando’s Hideaway on a Caribbean isle… with, of course, Harriet’s help!<br /><br />LegoConclusionJumper<br />legolambdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081014756741740081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-7707774252893839592014-04-12T21:06:56.916-07:002014-04-12T21:06:56.916-07:00But how about if an entrée falls ON a diner; does ...But how about if an entrée falls ON a diner; does anyone get punched?

It is coincidental(floss) to something I was reminiscing about before getting up this morning. Back when that movie was all the rage, and even though you may not have been at all interested, you could not avoid hearing about it frequently. My much younger brother was working for a private company that sold vehicles of all sorts to the physically impaired and one day at this time he asked me if I would drive a new Sprinter Van down to LA in order to have the side door fitted with a lift, and then fly back home. I agreed and was fortunate to be able to drive up and down the Grapevine into LA without being detoured due to the serious fire raging on the South side. Apparently it had just been reopened even though the fires were amazing to see. When I arrived at the large facility where the vehicle was to be dropped off for retrofitting, I was asked by the receptionist how my trip down had been, especially in regard to the Grapevine fires. I replied that it had been smooth sailing all the way and I had encountered no problems at all on the trip until I began coming down the Grapevine into LA and the snakes got loose. I thought it was hilarious and that being near Hollywood they would get it right away, but it was a wasted ad lib. No one made the connection.skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.com
