Jaws is my favorite movie, but to be frank, I hated the book. I don't like Peter Benchley's writing at all, may he rest in peace. The book portrays Ellen Brody as snotty and stuck-up, hating being "just" a cop's wife. In the book Ellen is from a wealthy 'summer" family like the kid who was with Chrissie, and meets Brody on Amity when she's young. She's written as a slut, and Quint knows her reputation on the…
This
is my ideal English Muffin. I call this "toasted." Joe calls it burnt! He
doesn’t toast them—he likes them just lightly heated up. Before Joe, a
lifetime ago, I lived with Hub—he also liked them just heated up! I could never get a properly toasted English Muffin outta either one of them guys! Now I just make my own. I

These days if you Google for "hamster dance," all kinds of results come up, but you have to dig deep and know to search for THE Hampster Dance (deliberately misspelled by the creator). Created before Google. On a Geocities site. And completely, totally useless. In fact its gone, but some intrepid soul has recreated the Hampster Dance, much to the delight of, I suspect, mostly Gen X. You can find this recreated wonder at https://origina…
Google, why hast thou forsaken us? So it's pretty well known that Google has not been devoting that much dev time to Blogger in recent years. Oh, there's been some background stuff going on, like a new back-up system last summer. And about three months ago they did some Beta testing with new Google Search tools. With varying degrees of success. The first one was totally cringe, and if I had been one of the designated Beta testers I'd h…
