They were a buck less, weren't they. With my
eyesight in its current state, I might not be able
to tell Kevin Spacey from Sissy Spacek by sight
alone.

I'm thinking they may have been half price, even.... There was also (it

Half price was probably a buck off back in
those days [g,d,r].

still exists) a movie house that regularly would show two films for the
price of one, and made an effort to have them have something in common
with each other.... I'm sure they charge more than they used to,
though... We kinda got out of the practice of going out to the movies...

I got out of the habit of going to the movies
when I outgrew trying to impress girls with my
art-eest-eek-ness, so in the 1970s or so.

There are a lot of things I want, even if they
aren't quite real. Turkey Hill fat-free
sugar-free isn't one of them.

And you are also more discriminating than MJ was... :)

And less desperate, perhaps.

Probably. :)

I'm still mobile enough to buy full-fat
things on my own when I have to.

An octave jump just doubling the frequency,
no problem. It might have been that the other
frequencies that make up the timbre would be
messed up, but it turns out that by and large,
doubling them does no harm. If there's attack
or articulation, a good ear might be able to
tell a difference, but I'd guess most wouldn't.

And unless it had a lot of solo passages, even less likely that it would
jump out for very many people....

It was a sextet or octet passage, so any
timbral issues would have been mostly
disguised by the general jumble.

... Don't hate yourself in the morning, sleep till noon.

Been there, done that, almost.

We've done that.... Richard more than I, even.... of course being up
late makes it more likely.... ;)

I've slept past noon but usually have failed
to hate myself.

See if anyone at church is interested in them...?

More likely one of the local thrift shops. Most all of them
came from places like that originally.

You still might see if there are any takers among your LG... ;)

Probably not--last year I donated a number of cook books to the church yard sale and, in cleaning up after, didn't look like any had been taken.

Free is more enticing than a small cost....? (G)

A friend of mine was budget director at the T
and discovered that the cost of labor to collect
fares exceeded the revenues! so looked into making
Boston public transit free, She found that in
systems that have done this, ridership goes down
and vandalism goes up. Free stuff and those who
take advantage of it are stigmatized, it turns out.

Easy Cajeta (Mexican Caramel)
categories: sauce, sweet, dairy
yield: 1 c

4 c goat's milk
1 c sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 ts baking soda dissolved in
1 Tb water
1 ts vanilla extract

In a small cup, mix 3 Tb milk with the
soda mixture. Set aside.

Place the sugar, cinnamon stick and
remaining milk in a very large pot
over medium to medium-high heat.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring
frequently to dissolve the sugar.

Once simmering, remove the pot from the
heat and add in the dissolved baking soda.
The mixture will froth up quickly, almost
doubling in volume. Once the mixture stops
bubbling, return the pot to the heat and
bring it back to a simmer.

Cook until the mixture has reduced and
thickened (45 to 60 min). Be sure to stir
frequently, scraping the bottom of the pot
so it doesn't burn. The cajeta is done
when you can scrape the mixture aside and
see the bottom of the pot. It should be
thick like honey. Remove from the heat
and stir in the vanilla.

To store, pour the cajeta into a glass jar
and let cool. Cover and store in the fridge
for up to two weeks.

The cajeta will thicken once it cools. To
soften it, microwave it a few seconds at a
time or run it under hot water.

I guess those crafty Europeans have found a way around that problem. When I was there last fall, after you guys dumped me off in Toulouse...
I travelled exclusively by train. Of the 14 train legs I rode (and paid for), I had my ticket looked at 5 times (35.7% of the time), income without labor to verify.
