Hello Again,

I've always wondered, EXACTLY how many Cheerios O's does General Mills manufacture in a year?.....Or how many are in a box?.....If I was to buy an old British sports car from the 60's.....Like a Triumph TR3 or an Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite.....Would I be able to get parts for it?.....What's the difference between an Indian elephant and an African elephant?.....Smog devices, required by the State of California, are a big joke.....Where do flies go at night?.....I think the community consortium that owns the Green Bay Packers has it just about right.....If more teams were owned by communities, fewer would leave, or threaten to leave.....If not for that arrangement, they probably would have been the Milwaukee Packers or God Knows Where Packers a long time ago.....Observation: LA has had the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals, political conventions, just about everything except a World's Fair, or Exposition.....New York has had all those things except an Olympics and a Super Bowl, and it looks like they're going to be awarded one of each soon.....I don't think Disneyland or Magic Mountain would be hurt by the temporary existence of an Exposition.....In fact, with all the extra tourists, I think it would enhance their attendence.....The '84 Olympics certainly helped their gate.....Rubber Ducky, quack-quack-quack!.....I was 10 years old when the Olympics were here.....I went to baseball, soccer & equestrian events.....It was a great experience.....The soccer crowds were loud & rowdy, but in a fun way.....Just whose baby is Sweet Pea, anyway?.....I thought that the character of John Allen Hill on Cheers was hilarious.....The actor that portrayed him, Keene Curtis, passed away a year or two ago.....Just wondering: did any man ever fall for the image of Betty Crocker?.....I like green grapes.....For some reason, many University of Redlands grads work at Paramount Pictures.....According to the California Highway Patrol, on any given weekend, depending on time of day and location, anywhere from 10% to one-third of drivers in LA County are drunk.....I'm happy to say that I'm not one of them.....Responsible parents try to teach their children not to have attitudes.....And yet a major TV network flaunts having an attitude.....What the Hell kind of message is that?.....Rubber Duckie, quack-quack-quack!.....I saw the 1969 flick Alice's Restaurant for the first time about a month ago.....I thought it was great!.....I haven't gotten tired of playing it on my VCR yet.....Is Art Bell for real?.....I wish I could read Krazy Kat and Mutt & Jeff somewhere other than an internet archive or a book.....An all-too-common sight in LA: men urinating in public.....Yick! Don't come near me!.....Guess I won't be working for the Chamber of Commerce anytime soon.....Just once, I'd like to see Don Knotts, whom I respect greatly, in a serious role.....Who couldn't like Don Knotts?.....The show biz industry here is so full of copycats and rip-off "artists" that it's sickening.....Kermit Schaeffer "Blooper" records always made me laugh.....My favorite was a football announcer call: "He's at the 10, the 20, the 30, he's in the clear!...LOOK AT THAT SONUVABITCH RUN!!!".....Rubber Duckee, quack-quack-quack!

Thank you for reading this. Puttin' Down the Ducky, As Always, Anne Alogy

If I was to buy an old British sports car from the 60's.....Like a Triumph TR3 or an Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite.....Would I be able to get parts for it?..

im not sure you could have got them in the 60s.  id love to have an jensen-healy  intercepter tho. 

Just wondering: did any man ever fall for the image of Betty Crocker?.

hmmm how did you find out about that?

*King, I can imagine I could get parts for those cars if I saved up for about 22 years, and mortgaged a couple houses, and sent all the money from that to England. Since I don't even own 1 house, I'll pass on those otherwise marvelous cars, not that I could afford one anyway! I always thought the TR3 was cool-looking, though.

I figured it out: Robespierre & Marie Antoinette are eating cake made by Betty Crocker!

Thank you, King, As Always, Anne
