The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for February 15, 2014

Maybe they’re related to Kevin Bacon.

So stupid.

Our cleaner’s sister’s nextdoor neighbor’s nephew knows a classmate who’s grandmother lives in Atlanta, maybe she knows somebody who was in that traffic jam. I’ll call the cleaner’s tomorrow and ask.

I know some people who couldn’t get one of their comics after that volcano erupted in Java.

Well, you know… if a butterfly’s wings fluttering in Brazil can set off a hurricane in Texas…or a volcano in Java….Maybe Joy’s cousin will …nah.

The cousin is OK Marlene… The accident only caused minor in injuries to the truck driver….. The building, however, looks like a mess… I’d stock up on grain if I were you… ! ! !

Dang, I hope it wasn’t the elevator on Madison Street....(Actually, they’re both on Madison Street. I had a great aunt who lived there.)

Yeah, make that collect call to them, Joy.

LOL from my husband and me!

Thus begins a little-remembered Sci-Fi Horror film from the 1950’s: “Attack Of The Grain Elevator-shaped Exploding Aliens Who Targeted (For Minor Injuries Only, Thank God!!) Truck Drivers And….Cousins”. Cue in eerie theremin music!!

I live two and a half hours north of Los Angeles and I get calls from family in Tenn if something happens in LA am I okay did I see any thing.

Now if it had been an OUTHOUSE that exploded, they’d have more reason to think it’s one of theirs!!!!!!!

Bakumanfan … I live over 50 miles north of San Francisco and I’ve gotten calls because something happened in LA.

And back in the early 80’s, when such calls were still very expensive, one of my aging Illinois aunts took her first-ever trip to Canada, and called my sister in BC from her hotel room in Toronto…

“Because I’m here in Canada!”
