Stuart Margolin, best known for his Emmy-winning role on “The Rockford Files,” died Monday at 82 of natural causes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Margolin, one of the busiest character actors of his era, appeared in episodes of “Love, American Style,” “The Partridge Family” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” One of his memorable movie roles was in the 1974 action film “Death Wish.” Acting alongside Charles Bronson, Margolin plays a developer who gives Bronson’s character a tour of a gun range and later gives him a gun.

Some people have an interesting trait you might have heard of, such as people who see colors when listening to music, or things make sounds, like adding numbers. Synethsisia is what that is. Most of us with it do not know anything until you say something like “oh that sound tastes like mushrooms”. When your teacher walks you to the principal office with a look of you be nuts. I do taste sounds, certain things appear as colors, along with feeling certain colors, blue in particular. You do not know much about it until you learn about it.
The only thing similar I have is dreaming full movies complete with technicolor and musical scores. I should probably get in the habit of writing them down. It is totally believable to me that Paul McCartney says he dreamed “Yesterday” as I sometimes wonder if the universe didn’t mean to drop off some of my dreams elsewhere.
I got a laugh last night at Bernie!’s expense. He was being interviewed on the TV and was wearing a shirt with one of the collars that are held down with collar stays, shirts I wear with some regularity when I have to be in court. They looked a little funny – the more I watched the more I realized that he must have left the house sometime and forgot to put the stays in and had to improvise (I confess I’ve had to do the same thing on more than one occasion) and resorted to one of the 3 workarounds I’ve used – paper clips Also cut up old plastic cards and pop bottles. OK, so far, so good – you can’t tell BUT if you leave them in when you send the shirt to the laundry, apparently it makes a very distinctive and clear pattern when the shirt is washed, dried and pressed with the paperclips in – kind of embossing the collar with a paper clip pattern. Note to self – don’t leave the paperclips in when you send tabbed collared shirts to the laundry.
And I hear Kavanaugh killed it at the beer pong table at the RW crazies Christmas party that he was stupid enough to attend.
Same here, Jamie. Dreams with color, music and choreography.
Overwhelming senses when I start to get a migraine; lights, sounds, smells, touch. Thank goodness for new, prescription drugs.
Yesterday, the tornados were barely to the north of me. I could hear the tornado siren wailing, but they blow that thing all of the time. A dozen years ago, they didn’t blow it and there were straight-line winds that caused injuries and at least one death within two or three blocks of me. So, now they err on the side of caution.
Just checked to KS forecast for next week. The high is 19 the day I arrive. Yikes!
“Canned yellow peaches, considered a particularly nutritious delicacy in many parts of China, have been snapped up by people looking for ways to fight Covid. “
“Its sudden surge in popularity prompted Dalian Leasun Food, one of the country’s largest canned food manufacturers, to clarify in a Weibo post that canned yellow peaches don’t have any medicinal effect.”
“Canned yellow peaches ≠ medicines!” the company said in the post published Friday. “There is enough supply, so there is no need to panic. There is no rush to buy.”
“The People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, also tried to set the record straight. It published a long Weibo post on Sunday urging the public not to stockpile the peaches, calling them “useless in alleviating symptoms of illness.”
It’s gotta taste better than horse dewormer, though. Are we ever gonna get through this thing?
I am so sorry to write that our dear Tony died of long term Covid complications on September 23. I spoke with Ashley his niece who has been struggling with contacting people while grieving herself. She is distraught over how he died and blames the hospital for lack of proper care. So sad, he took such good care of everyone else. I am heartbroken.

OSH, thanks for letting us know. That is such sad news.
So sad…. I lost my oldest and best friend a few months ago… now Tony.
2023 can’t come fast enough.
Tony was a great guy! He made my life better for having known him.
Thanks, O’Sea
i regret not being a better friend to Tony and offer my condolences to those of you who were, he deserved better
