Edited in at 09:52 hours E.S.T. (and time after tomorrow it will be E.D.T. in this spot until November 6 / Boo… George Bush Junior, Paul Martin, for going along, and the hopefully soon to be gone Jason Kenney for stacking the referendum question so Alberta is not on standard time all year round)
Spock’s description of the Iotians(sp? / next line from 2 minutes 22 seconds) as “…extremely intelligent and somewhat imitative…” reminds me of the description of the Hokas of Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson.

I’m in the library a fair bit and there are days that I still wish we had the old card catalogue systems.
Any of the branches have at most three computer terminals devoted to the catalogue, and if all three are occupied, I have to wait.
I’d only be waiting in the old days if one/any of my fellow catalogue searcher(s) was searching the drawer with the subject, author, or title I was searching for; a rare event (I don’t think it ever happened to me).
Side note: From what I see on a day to day basis with students who come into the library to study (good on them), I don’t think schools are teaching about the use of the Dewey decimal system these days; or the use of an index, the use of footnotes, bibliographies, or even the table of contents. It is a surmise on my part, but with all the page flipping they do to find what they’re looking for in their books instead of just looking it up…..?
The Champs “Tequila” was apparently part of a top 10 playlist segment. The other nine songs are in the spoiler box in order (The Champs were number 10).
You get a bonus with “The Chordettes”.
Sadly, there may be some commercial interference.
You’ve also seen some of them before, but good music is good music.
I stumbled across this1948 anti-communism cartoon (some very glaring omissions even for 1948 / not to mention contradictions within the cartoon, and I’m not talking about the humour of the times which I recognize for what it was).

Very excited. I believe I have found all nine, and within five minutes. As always, I await the final results from the judges. The Russian judge is said to be particularly prickly, however, so any celebrations must be muted.
Lots of practice over the years – first, I suc-err wasn’t good at all at those puzzles. But I don’t get all differences always.
And sometimes, I get lucky.
Hope everyone is having a better morning than me. I’ve been dropping everything I touch this morning. I even abused my coffee all over the counter and floor.
This is an enjoyable walk through the medium (though it does give short shrift to Art Nouveau, which I like a lot). Another place where Art Deco images are common is produce box labels:

THE EPISODE THIS CAME FROM. As always, click through the clutter and go full screen.
You’ll have to turn off the captioning too.

Here I am; here I am… I was having a teeny internet problem tonight.
It’s been so much better lately I forget to make room for when it’s slow.
I imagine tonight’s puzzle will go well….
and when it’s finished, drop by and
…
Me, too! Really quick today.
How I missed the one I did I don’t know, but I did.
Been there, done that…..
It was EASY this morning!!! I took a quick peek last night (very late) and came up with 6. Found the other 3 easily this a.m. Hooray!
Shhh. Never say it was easy or Nighthawks will make the next one extra hard.

I Did It! I got the last one this afternoon, but i got them!
Less than 90 seconds. Wow.
I don’t know what my husband has put into that coffee, but it sure helps…

Lots of practice over the years – first, I suc-err wasn’t good at all at those puzzles. But I don’t get all differences always.
And sometimes, I get lucky.

Good Saturday morning Cleo puzzlers.
Hope everyone is having a better morning than me. I’ve been dropping everything I touch this morning. I even abused my coffee all over the counter and floor.
Think I’ll go back to bed.
(((((HuGz!)))))
Take care, Plods. Hope you do better after more sleep. You need that coffee. Hugs to you!
Great music this morning. Always loved the Ventures!
