    Complaint: there were soem hard bits on the side of soem of the milk bottles this morning. Apparently somwhere between the bottling plant and our delivery executive a bottle had been broken or damaged, and there were little shards stuck to the bottle (by condensation or spilt milk). I now have a perforated finger tip, fortunately on my left hand so my typing shouldn't be any worse than usual.

    I think it improved you typing LOL normally you have at least 2 typo's and this time none...lol

    I forgot to ask this the other day, but what is a "hot" in the context of "I had two hots"? I tried to google it, but the only stuff that came up was related to temperature. 

    "Hot" equals "Texas Hot".  Hotdog on steamed bun slathered with a loose brown mustard type sauce with secret ingredients, topped with finely chopped onion.  I don't know what the "everything" (i.e "two hots with everything" acutally means because the only thing I notice other than the sauce is the onion.   I just order it that way because that's the way my father ordered it when he took me there 65+ years ago when I was still too short to see over the lunch counter. Mmmm... warm, soggy, spicy, savory, filling.   I remember the old place in downtown Jamestown, NY back in the '50s.  But that area has been demolished and modernized.  The new place is west of the city but Johnny's retired/dead? and the main place and I think two other similar places in town are run by members of his family each with his recipe for "Texas Hot" secret sauce.

    (Picture of the original place, on the website)

    PS: Look on the "Find Us" page to see why the interior of the restaurant is decorated in "I Love Lucy" paraphernalia.  Unfortunately no pictures of the interior of the new restaurant on the website.  But believe me, pictures of Lucy stuff in all the Johnny's restaurants in Jamestown.  Also the spot on the map is also about where the infamous  bronze statue of "Scary" Lucy is.  Also in the area is the not so famous replacement that is MUCH better.

    Thanks for the explanation. Sounds pretty tasty. Also, that was one scary statue. Glad they replaced it. 

    In other news, this game that I'm playing scared the bejeezus out of me. It's recommended that you use headphones during it, and now I know why. At one point it sounded like someone was knocking on my window. I got up and looked out all my windows (carefully and with an improvised weapon) but there was nothing. Turns out it was from the game, but it was really convincing! Since then there have been scratching noises, doors creaking, and a woman sighing right next to me. I don't know how they managed to make the sounds this convincing. It's pretty impressive for a low rent game with tons of typos.

    Looking at the front page of that site, it looks like Johnny's puts the same stuff on everything except the milkshakes!  Looks good, though!

    However, it seems they don't want too many people making noise in there..."we are limiting the number of customers aloud"  The rest of the customers need to wisper?   laugh

    Still no pictures of the Lucy decor but I did find a Buffalo TV station story about the restaurant.  Oh, and I may be mistaken about the other two "Texas Hot" places in Jamestown.  They are "AJ's Texas Hots" and I can find no link between them and "Johnny's".  But they do have Lucy decor.  Which is not too unusual for here in Jamestown.  

    For a good part of a week in the Summer, the city is inundated with "I Love Lucy" fans who come here for what we locals call "Lucy Week". https://www.iloveny.com/event/the-lucille-ball-comedy-festival/49806/

    And of course I can't forget to mention the new National Comedy Center complex and its annex in the old Erie Railroad Station in Jamestown.  Wonderful, large, modern museum & archive.

    Speaking of typos, that statue site said the Scary Lucy is on the right...no, look again!

    Who in the world thought that old one looked anything like Lucille Ball?!?!   surprise  I bet in the dark ages, the sculptor would be executed if a king were portrayed so badly!

    Drawn, quartered, and fed to the pigs.indecision 

    I hope nobody paid for that orginal one.  If ever you thought that government officials were art savvy at all...frown

    The "Lowest Bidder" concept does not work in all situations.sad

    But being "show business" related, perhaps the saying "Any publicity is better than no publicity" applies.  The "Scary Lucy" debacle has certainly raised the visibility of Jamestown, NY, a small mouldering little city in the boondocks of NY State until Lucy died and sent her body (literally) and spirit back here.surprise  However, I keep wondering how long before the young'uns will ask "who's Lucy?" and the magic of that name dies out.

    Oh, and the "aloud" misspelling... That's common around here.crying  A sign on the door of my laudromat says "No Loitering Aloud", which I assume, means the local rabble can congregate but must be quiet about it.smiley  However, around here I rarely ever see a reversed "N" which I noticed frequently in Florida and the south.crying  So at least we know our alphabet if not how to use it.yes

    I gave these to my friends who are lactose intolerant. In other words they are unable to eat pizza. I think it is because they are lactose intolerant or is that just a bunch of carp? Not sure which one it is.

    why doesn't Daz have a thing showing what percent has been uploaded for attached photos?

    ...earlier this evening (April 15th) I just received a "red flag" fire warning.  This something more common between July and September..

    ...oh, and ended up having pizza for dinner tonight as well. Still difficult with the back pain, sciatica, and stiffness to stand and do heavy duty cooking.

    Non-complaint:  Music to DAZ by.  Rummaging through my music collection this morning and I stopped at "Balakirev" and decided to refresh my memory of his piano concerto #1.  It's short, only 14 minutes.  The Russian composers of the late 1800's were fond of music in minor keys.  It starts with with a characteristic sort of sad or depressing introduction and about 1:10 minutes into it a primary theme emerges.  The piano doesn't come in until about 3:10 and finally at 3:50 restates the sad theme.  The music then turns more grandiose and pianistic.  Later the primary theme returns with a more hopeful but still sad longing.  The music ends on a glorious retelling of the sad theme but now resolved to resignation if not happiness.

    This is not a piece commonly heard, but the sad theme is familiar to me as momentary background music in some movie I've seen somewhere in the last half century.

    It's an evening meal possibly at places like these. 

    And a person having an evening meal at one of those places would be a diner having dinner at a diner.  Unless you're around Erie, Pennsylvania and extreme western NY State where the establishment is more likely to be a "dinor".  (Hey, I've already established that we can't spell around here.cheeky)
