Barry,

 DS>   I've got plenty of toilet paper and paper towels...which helps
 DS> being the only one here.

 BM> Except when you run out from on the wall and the spares are in the
 BM> closest!

  I check that before I go fight the cat in the sandbox...plus I don't
use that many paper towels. Housecleaning is on hold for another week,
until I see the hernia surgeron.

 BM> Makes sense: you can always clean the toilet by candlelight but can't
 BM> run the computers without power! <g>

  But, it's not fun when you're on the throne, and the lights go out. :P

 BM> Yesterday (Monday) the roofers were here to replace the roof (hail
 BM> damage) -- the semi-official high I saw was 92ø but the (digital)
 BM> thermometer here at the house said 99ø.  Today's high only supposed to
 BM> be in the mid-80's but rain around noon -- Cristobal is over Missouri
 BM> currently and tracking for us to be on the eastern leading edge around
 BM> noon.  Tomorrow and Thursday almost cold at in the 70's.

  We're having highs in the 80s and lows in the low 60s, but it must've been
in the 50s last night. I got chilled, so I had to turn the heat on. The
forecast high by next Wednesdsay is 93...so heat advisories may return soon.

 BM> "It's going to be interesting!"  It looked like some of the shows we
 BM> watch ended a bit oddly due to a quick wrap-up because of impending
 BM> closures/shutdowns.  Other seasonal shows have a full audience --
 BM> "obviously" recorded before the pandemic hit.  (Some of) the soap
 BM> operas are showing reruns: was channel-surfing and saw one in was in
 BM> the old 4:3 format (back in the analog TV days with CRTs/glass picture
 BM> tubes.

  Then, they are using the laugh tracks instead of a live audience. Plus,
all the money the actors and everyone else lost, when production was
suspeneded. We'll move to Phase 2 of reopening on Monday...not sure when
Phase 3 will occur, or if there's a Phase 4.

 BM> I'm curious as to what will happen in the Fall when the television
 BM> season traditionally starts up again?

  Reruns of reruns?? :P

 BM> ... "The Lawrence Welk Show" premiered on ABC-TV on July 2, 1955.

  I love watching ragtime pianist JoAnn Castle.
