Gray Skies Aren't Gonna Clear Up

Harveytoons strikes again with "Jumping With Toy" from 1957. This one stars Baby Huey, a mentally challenged monster duckling. The starving fox always tries to consume Baby Huey, but Huey's positive attitude and giant size saves him every time. What's the point of the cartoon? There is none, as with much of 1950s American culture.



Sunday was spent pretty much indoors, as it rained and rained and rained. It looks like it's going to be doing just that until well into Wednesday, so my last days of shopping will be done in drizzle to downpour, depending on the timing of it all.

My heart goes out to those who live beneath the burn areas, which take three to five years to fully recover. Minor mudslides were reported today, but if the rain keep coming down as forecast, I fear some families will be spending Christmas knee-deep in mud.

Steve and I have decided, since he's off between Christmas and New Year's days, to take a couple days and head up the coast just to get out of town. We're scheduling it so that we miss most of what will be the intra-holiday traffic.

Hopefully, one of our stops will be at John and Sandy Beck's to see their Christmas decorations. I'll get footage, if possible, to share with those unfamiliar with this phenomenon. It will astound the uninitiated.
