On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Have you ever taken a martial arts class?
Nope, and I never had a desire to learn.
2) In this song, Carl Edwards sings about funky Chinatown. Many cities – including San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver, London and Antwerp – have a Chinatown. Have you ever visited Chinatown?
New York when I was knee high to a grasshopper. And drove through Chinatown in San Francisco.
3) Many Chinese restaurants give out fortune cookies. Can you recall one of your fortunes?
No, I was probably around ten when I to New York’s Chinatown.
4) This week's featured artist, Carl Edwards, was born in Jamaica, spent his childhood in the US, and relocated to England. Have you ever lived abroad?
Nope, I don’t care to.
5) In 1974 he became the first Jamaican to have a #1 hit in the US with this song. Have you been to Jamaica?
Nope. (A lot of “Nope’s” in today’s answers )
6) When this week's song was on the charts, ABC TV had a hit with the show Kung Fu. Today it's available to stream. Were you a fan?
Yeah… sadly. It was a really dumb show. And racism. Why didn't they use an Asian, the show was popular when Bruce Lee was making all of his moives.
7) Also in 1974, the FIFA World Cup was played in West Germany. Have you been following the FIFA World Cup this year?
No, but my niece and nephews went to one in New Jersey.
8) Two of 1974's most popular toys were popular with adults, too. Would you prefer a Rubik's Cube or a Magic 8 Ball?
The Magic 8 Ball, I could never do the Rubik’s Cube, it was so frustrating!
9) Random question: Have you ever cut someone else's hair?
Nope… like I said a lot of “nope” today.
I am up at the cottage and as usual the first time opening up for the season is always an adventure.
First… my cottage was inhabited when I got there. By squirrels. I know the guy. I bet you that it is the same squirrel that was eyeing the vent last fall.
The work I had done over the winter looks good. But there is one minor problem, the kitchen lights don’t work. Could Mr. Squirrel be the culprit?
I forgot to prop open the refrigerator doors and it got molding inside, it two hours to clean it.
The four hour drive did my back in. So my car is still packed. I am unloading the wicker basket and boxes a little at a time. But I did get my beach and dump pass. I went to the wrong window to pick it up and the guy was very gruff when he told me the other window… didn’t I see the sign “Pass Pick-Up”
Um, no. there were three women outside there talking and I can’t see any signs.
Like you, I had a lot of "nope" answers today. But unlike you, I eat Chinese food often. It's surprising to me that you haven't had a fortune cookie since you were 10 years old!
