    Local trivia for bar bets: Question—What is unique about Henderson, Nevada? (Henderson is considered by some to be a suburb of Las Vegas.) Answer: It’s the only city in Nevada where gambling is illegal.

    I grew up in California. In the summer of 1941, some distant cousins from the east coast visited us. We thought their knee breeches were very strange: most California boys (even kindergarteners) wore blue jeans or tan cords (corduroys.)

    I found a way to ask for “the facilities” in any language: Stand up, cross your legs, put a silly grin on your face, and sort of jump up and down. After the native people quit laughing, they’ll show you where the restrooms are.

    I always thought the Brits were onto something. Mathematics embraces more than one branch. There’s computation, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, advanced algebra (quadratic equations, Pascal’s Triangle, etc.,) probability and statistics, calculus, solid geometry, Boolean algebra, and probably a lot more.

    We have a market here in my city that has a boiler in the back parking lot. In it they cook the best pork tamales ever, on sale in the market itself. (The Mexican restaurants here are mostly Sinaloa style—where I was born and raised (farther south) the cooking was mostly Calexico style. Very different!)

    Do you mean “Shazam?” (Each letter stands for a Greek or Roman, possibly even Norse, God, which is where Captain Marvel received his power.)

    Can someone please fill me in? FBOW was in a newspaper we used to take. I read it avidly. At the last chapter, Lynn Johnston was interviewed. She said (as far as I can recall) “If I had the strip to do over again, would I change it any? You bet I would!” But the paper we took didn’t carry the strip anymore. I remember a lot of the old strip, and so far, nothing looks changed. But I didn’t read GoComics until a few years after the beginning. Did “Lizard Breath” nearly have a meltdown because Daddy said her pigtails looked like “puny tails?” Did Candace ever say to (kindergarten) Liz, “Check it out—pantyhose!?”
