The Saturday Picture Show, July 18, 2020

Here is the list, supposedly written by Elvis's dad Vernon, of the items that were to be on hand at Graceland "for Elvis - AT ALL TIMES - EVERY DAY." In case you haven't done your shopping for the week, please print and take this to the BiSumMor this afternoon.
Meteorologists will tell you that this red rainbow occurred in Finland because it was in the morning sunrise, when dust and air particles scatter sunlight to block out the prismatic blues and green and enhancing the reds and oranges. I couldn't say how right that is, not being schooled in the art of meteorology, but still, it sounds reasonable.
Man! This escalator is sloooooooooow!
I'm not the only one who is obsessed by knowing what time it is!
I was going to say that one time the Washington Bullets had the tallest (7' 7" Manute Bol from Sudan) and the shortest (5' 3" Muggsy Bogues from Dunbar High in Baltimore) players in the NBA, but since the hot topic these days is D.C. team names, can you imagine there was a basketball team named the Bullets? And of course, they started out as the Baltimore Bullets.
I have to wonder about a laundromat that forbids patrons from folding their laundry. Are people just supposed to ball their clean stuff up and roll it home? Anyway, I like the punchback. We had origami the other night...it was great!
This is from the 1918 flu pandemic, but the message to the slackers is valid today.
If you don't recognize this landmark, I'm glad to say you have not yet seen Rock Bottom.
