Today's Video Link

I should have posted this a few days ago. The Los Angeles Fire Department (no kidding) produced posted this video on why you should never use one of those turkey deep-frying thingies. They may have overreached to make their case but it is true that those cookers have a pretty high accident ratio. [CORRECTION: The video was produced by the folks at Underwriters Laboratory. But the L.A.F.D. put it on their website and on YouTube.]

Black Friday in Doodyville

I'm still busy but this can't wait: A number of you have called my attention to a great sale on Amazon. Remember that 40-episode Howdy Doody set I spotlighted the other day? The one that sold for thirty bucks? Well, it's suddenly $9.99. I dunno how long this is good for but if you were thinking of ordering the thing, go for it. And remember that you don't want the 20-episode one (which is still $8.49) because all the episodes on it are on the larger one and so are many special features.
