One small thing to love about King of Comedy (1983) is that the least cool person in NYC, Rupert Pupkin, is dressed as the future Guy Fieri.
Robert Deniro as Rupert Pupkin in King if Comedy. He has perfectly bad hair, a bad mustache and an ugly shirt.

I've been struggling to demo the ramp leading up to my house and today after I'd finally cut a piece of board free the roadrunner (not pictured) appeared, came right up to me not 2 feet away, then plucked out a snail to eat & stepped aside.
A 5 foor wide overbuilt ramp leading to a front door. The very dirty ramp, partially diassbled into a piece too heavy for me to carry. the partially demo'd ramp woth a hole cut free. (snails newly revealed)

What I'm reading for the holiday. I picked it up as a freebie, is that somehow controversial this week?

The recent talk of (the ceaselessly icky) James Carville made me queue up The War Room, which the back of my head appears in while leading Jerry Brown onto the stage during the 1992 Democratic Convention. I was longtime advance & field etc.

I had no idea I was being filmed by a Pennebaker.

Buster Kitten is doing so well. And today the local roadrunner did a spin through my back yard, so I'm glad this small tidbit of a cat is inside.

One of the kittens I TN/fostered may end up named "6-7." The mother in charge is trying to convince her son to go with "Smokey" instead.
Smoket, or 6-7, before his adoption.
