"Having been raised, myself, in oil-boom country, I have several times had the opportunity to witness what a calamity it can be, socially and morally, when an honest roustabout rents himself a little oil rig and actually strikes it rich.  Big money has a way of convincing people that they deserve it"--Film Flam

Got quite a few comics, including some Little Lulus and Disneys, and some 1956 Rip Kirby adventures, and a 1953 San Francisco Chronicle Sunday comic section.

Saw the pilot episode of Wiseguy on DVD. (The machine seems to be working again, but we can use the new one with the upstairs TV.) It's a late 1980s TV series with Ken Wahl as a G-man working undercover to infiltrate organized crime.  Ray Sharkey is brilliant as the gangster he gets close to in the first season's early episodes. (I've ordered all of them from zip.ca .)

Dinner was salmon.

Took some cherries over to the dance studio I used to take lessons at.  Unfortunately, most of the staff was away at some Ottawa competition.

Baked whole wheat bread overnight.
