We had a spell of heavy rainfall just after dark, and some more during the night. That was terrific. And this morning the sun shines. Ah. I like that. Off to the east there was severe storm potential but none of that for the likes of us. Just a good rain and some thunder and lightening to go with it. Not even damaging winds. I might get out later to check the playa lakes, and they will be a good indicator of how much rain we actually had. I did get a glimpse of a flooded street in front of the house, just before I went to bed. I go to bed early. I get up early. That's a habit I formed in my working life, and I've seen no reason to change, though it has been many years since I've worked.
I remember watching old TV shows on the networks back in the day. Shows like Sid Caesar, Amateur Hour, Mr. Citizen, I Led Three Lives, Amos and Andy, the Tonight Show with Steve Allen, I Remember Mama, Science Fiction Theater. And so many more. I remember test patterns and the networks going off the air at night. I remember watching cartoons on a TV with a round six inch screen at the house of a friend. I remember when most of my toys were either tin, cast iron, or acetate plastic.
In fact, I had a number of toys that were wood. Some of those I made myself or my dad made them.
