ohhhh, just saw the update about Universal...
said a video vault of around 40,000 reels is being affected.
Sad Sad Sad
Universal smoke can be seen here even in Santa Clarita...I know for sure the King Kong attraction burned,and of course a film vault, just hope they keep it under control, there is alot of brush and hills directly behind the studios and hundreds of houses...fingers crossed...

And Lara? You still have the knack, ya know?
Sleepless in AZ and all...Hunny, you still aren't sleeping?
Do you have your days and nights turned around? 
cc - thank you, Darling. No, still not sleeping much at all - and tis taking it's toll, because this has been going on too long by far. Best I seem to get is 3 hours at a time if I am lucky. Always something to wake me, those middle of the night phone calls, DH restless and up, chasing fish... like last night. Said he had to filet it...
Here is the story... It's really quite funny.
I get woken up; wtf are you doing?
Fileting your fish...
What?!!! 
I heard a noise... the damn thing is out here swimming on the table...
Er... ok... WTF have you been drinking? Green Fairy... ? 
No... look, says he, armed with a screw driver.
It is one of those water activated fish. You throw it in the pool and it swims, right? Pretty cool. But it has no on/off switch. So water must have got inside to activate it after it was pulled out of the pool last night. And sure enough, there it was, on the table, flopping about...
So he took the batteries out.
But this is how my nights go. One things after another. A truck crashing into a house. Like this from the other night

Crashing vehicles into houses seems to be a national past time here... I have no clue why but it happens quite a bit!
Anyway, DH gets notified any time there is a fire, or a residence involved, or a firefighter hurt, or whatever... he gets notified no matter the time of day or night.
Dispatch! Dispatch! Dispatch!
So I think the both of us have gotten into this little cycle of being awakened and neither of us can seem to get out of it. But the thing is, he can go back to sleep. I don't seem able to. And if I try to nap in the day time, guaranteed something wakes me just as I am about to drift. It's like THEY KNOW... how do they know? LOL
I'd pull my hair out but it doesn't need any help!

Wait, that's not funny!

Well, you have to laugh, don't you? Eh?

If only dear Ol' Velvet Smoke would read to me at night...? How 'bout dat, Johnny? Not quite so sure I woudl sleep but dang I would surely feel much more betters, eh? Definitely soothed.
Lara...I'm so glad you're back
you make me laugh out loud..
no more computer problems for
you either, you hear????
KK - only too happy to make my dear friends and neighbors laugh. And roger that on the compy probs... better not have any more, or I shall hunting the Black Pearl and giving it a new anchor, if you get my drift?

oooo sorry Jack!

Awful news about Universal Studios... That is a tragic loss. Hope they get it under control asap. Fires are so devastating. I wonder how it started?
JJDI - thanks darling - those will all work wonders for me tonight I am sure. Bless yas!

Very nice indeedy. Lovely Roux and Johnny too... Thank you! Muahs!!
cc - thanks for the update on the Universal fire! That is good news, indeed.
Now I thinks we all needs a little bottom's upsie!
NOT that bottom, Mort... although it is a rather cute one!
I was thinking more along teh lines of a good stiff one...
Ah ha!
Um... no, Jack... not quite what I meant... but now you come to mention it, that'll do
Hang on, I think I've got it...
You mean this kind.
That's the one!
So why don't we all grab some of Jack... I mean Jack's Rum and go see the concert, eh?
Again, well done on all the lovely slides shows
