Well. There's bad planning and poor execution and then there's really bad planning and really poor execution. The hippies got nothing on the millennials and The Fyre Festival

But then again, from the article: The Internet was ablaze in a firestorm of ridicule, with thousands of people without the money to frolic at Caribbean music festivals heaping abuse on “spoiled” millennials, who were freaking out because they were forced to sleep in tents and eat cheese sandwiches instead of sushi. “I can’t figure out what #fyrefestival is,” tweeted one, “but it seems like rich people having a bad time, which I fully support.” One woman tweeted: “I’ve always dreamed of building elaborate deathtraps that attract the 1%, but #fyrefestival actually went and did it, kudos.”

Guess one's interpretation of "mess" varies -eh?

Henry's Hamburgers was a family favorite back in he 60s. Way better than McDonald's. Great memories - thanks for this.

Stephen King has put a red balloon in his window in Bangor

I've a sewer grate right in front of my house and I've been thinking of doing the same. Three school bus runs go by in the morning and I'm thinking it would draw some interest. Probably bad interest ; which is why I've been too chicken so far. . .

Kokadjo is right up the road from Lily Bay State Park, my favorite place to go if I want a base camp to wander around the North Maine Woods. The sign is just outside the "town".

Gene! Gene! The Dancing Machine! Show us your Lark!

Thanks for the memories.

Couldn't agree more with your comments regarding Joan Crawford and Feud. The whole series was awesome, but the end was exceptionally well done.

Peter Cushing made the list but he got a reprieve (with the permission of his estate). I thought he was excellent in Rogue One.

Here. We. Go.

The Downside To Owning Your Own Island

The last line of the article: "In this era of Google Earth, an island isn't the best hiding place."

Not an easy test. I'm at 50% which was better than I expected. Wish I could have seen the specifics but they didn't show that. By their rules I'm a very guilty person. I Photoshop most of my pictures to make them look better - light, shadows, colors, etc. I don't consider that deceptive. It's when you start adding/removing things that it gets a little sketchy. . .

You left out the most important thing to know:

Don't go for the comics. What was once the foremost gathering for comics - the industry and profession - has devolved into a pop-culture media fest. They need to change the name.

This whole story $ucks. It was presented all over the interweb as "TSA finds 20lb lobster in passenger's checked baggage" - as if it was being smuggled in a suitcase wrapped up in underwear or something. Geez - 100 percent legal and in accordance with TSA rules. The guy's lucky he wasn't targeted by PETA or thousands of other social media crackpots demanding it be set free. Some serious discipline is in order at the TSA.

In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy meets Locasta Tattypoo, The Good Witch of the North, in Munchkin Country and Locasta gives he the ruby slippers but doesn't have a clue about their power. When Dorothy gets to Oz, It's Glinda, the Good Witch of the South who tells her how to use them. . .
