It is good ! 🙂
Another really good find.
Again, I stopped the video here and there to see the issues of the day or read what was visible of the story books. The books look like fun reads, and as far as the issues of the day go, not much has really changed.
I found a YouTube account with a “re-edited” video of “The Fabulous Fireworks Family.” I’ve posted it, but even having seen only the illustration page at 5:21, I’ll accept Pete Beard was correct when he said “…and it wasn’t a particularly successful translation of the book’s visual content.”
Too, the video quality here isn’t that great either.
Mathematically up 32 ¢ from January 7. Practically, it’s 35 ¢ because of Ottawa-imposed “penny rounding” rules since the penny has ceased circulation in Canada..
$3.33 × 2 = $6.66 ($6.65 at the till January 07, 2022)
$3.49 × 2 = $6.98 ($7.00 at the till January 28, 2022)
That’s a a real world price rise of a little better than 5.25 % during the 20 days of January 8 to January 27.
$6.65 × 1.0525 = $6.999125
Since I’m by the store on a regular basis, I think I’ll stop in twice and make it four bags in total. Added to supplies on hand, that should last even me for a while.

PERKY!
I love the whole Sam Basset saga! And especially the animations and strange characters. Could be Mister Ious is a clear favorite. (why do I keep seeing a short, stocky human actor playing this part?)
I went in this morning to clean out my car and found out that the owner of the body shop is fighting my (soon to be x ) insurance carrier. They had the whole thing done before it had to go to the dealer and check all the codes.
They didn’t find the battery damage until the dealers trouble-shot it. It’s still at the dealers shop.
The manager of the body shop promised to call me personally as soon as he hears from his boss and the adjuster.
That’s how it works in California, anyway… If they total it they don’t pay for repairs…
They give you your $5000 or whatever it is, and it’s theirs.
If you want it, you pay some of it back to them, basically its scrap value, to own the car again, and you pay the repair bill.
…
I went through the whole process with my previous car.
I got a little over $4,000 from my insurance, after a no-fault collision, 5 mph on the freeway at rush hour, and paid a couple hundred or so, to buy it back… plus I paid the $5,000 in repairs.
(What looks like a station wagon can be fragile fiberglass and plastic inside… the front “crumple zone” crumpled from a tap I barely felt)
…
Then you have to re-register it and get a title that’s stamped “SALVAGE”.
So I was about a thousand dollars out of pocket to have my car again, that I’d thought was insured. But at least it was cheaper than buying another car, and I liked it.
Funny thing is I’d only paid $3,000 to the owner when I bought it the year before, 11 years old but in great condition.
….
I have to say I don’t understand how a Prius could be worth only $5,000, but I guess I wasn’t around for the story.
But now I’m wondering who’s surpposed to pay for those repairs, if you don’t get the car back, and the insurance won’t. That body shop was awfully foolish.
….
Anyhow, after buying a car back as salvage, any insurance but liability is pretty pointless cos to your insurance, same company or not, the car is only worth its “salvage value.”
Luckily if someone else damages it after that, their insurance still has to pay for repairs, or replace it at blue book, not salvage value (unless they can find an acceptable one for that).
And I know that, because two years later, someone rear ended me, and her insurance paid $2,000 for repairs.
…
I’ve NEVER, before or after that car, had an accident or been ticketed for a moving violation…
But believe it or not, two years later, that same car got rear ended again… again in 5 mph traffic, but on a small side road that gets jammed at rush hour… and totaled AGAIN… by then not worth the repairs.
Besides, it was some kind of accident beacon, the poor thing.

staples and spiral-bound notebooks…….how amazing is that? It took a minute before I realized that’s what they were! Love it!
The staples were the last thing i noticed.
Got an out loud snort out of me.
Don’t forget the cast of … OK, not thousands… dozens, maybe… of model railroad people.
All looking for their big break in the pictures, no doubt.
…
I was trying to figure out whether they’re HO or N scale…
It depends on how thick those notebooks are, and whether those are regular size pencils, or those mini-sets of colored pencils, like from Hello Kitty.
…
HO people are close to an inch tall: N scale about half an inch….
that’s close enough for art and dollhouses, not for picky model railroaders.

WOW! He has quite the imagination!

Good story, good songs.
Whoo hoo!
What a great animation…
It’s the third episode of “The Maltese Basset”!
….
The artwork in this one truly shines, Nighthawks.
LOVE the doorway, with its bricks, and stuffed mailbox…
Sam’s trenchcoat.. and the sidewalk-pressed view of him.
And Mister Ious is perfect!
…
He dies so early in the basset version…
Oh my…. does someone perhaps want him out of the way?
Gasp! I was just thinking…. could it be the very same person who wants to slow Mr. Basset’s investigation?
Wow! I wonder whether that has occurred to anybody!
….
The smoke is very well done, too… but really, Sam should NOT smoke.
It’s very bad for his health!
Though… sigh… I suppose a frequent hail of bullets might be bad for him too.
Life is so cheap in that milieu.
…
So… there’s a beautiful, but possibly treacherous, woman involved…
and an unseen, but supposedly priceless, artifact…
Plus who knows what sort of dangerous enemies, obviously lurking close at hand…
and trying to slow him down, or perhaps even do him in.
…
Good thing he has those basset-quick reflexes!
But OK, maybe one cigarette would be all right, Sam.
Especially since the tale will continue.
…
Yay! I’m so glad this isn’t the end of the story!
..
More chocolate cake? Yummm
I can’t believe there was leftover chocolate cake in this crowd!
Maybe there was more of it yesterday than we knew… We coulda had seconds!

PERKY!
Here’s the link:
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
One of our other friends’ nickname is “Perky” – we knew about that yesterday.
YAY!!! I always knew I would be famous one day. Thanks for letting everyone know!!
Although it’s not Petter Lorre, he is a good approximation.
Good morning, Basset Noir phans! It’s Friday!
Y’all have a safe weekend. (((((HuGz!)))))
I love the whole Sam Basset saga! And especially the animations and strange characters. Could be Mister Ious is a clear favorite. (why do I keep seeing a short, stocky human actor playing this part?)
I agree! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode.
Brought over from today’s “Ripley’s.”
I went in this morning to clean out my car and found out that the owner of the body shop is fighting my (soon to be x ) insurance carrier. They had the whole thing done before it had to go to the dealer and check all the codes.
They didn’t find the battery damage until the dealers trouble-shot it. It’s still at the dealers shop.

Are you buying it back from being totalled?
That’s how it works in California, anyway… If they total it they don’t pay for repairs…
They give you your $5000 or whatever it is, and it’s theirs.
If you want it, you pay some of it back to them, basically its scrap value, to own the car again, and you pay the repair bill.

The smoke from Sam’s cigarette was extremely well done.
