I believe this is the Osama story that got me kicked out of the Toronto Star.

The Dumblaveys were friends. (I spelled his name wrong here) He worked for Military Intelligence.

We’re going to a Moose Lodge tonight. I’m not the Moose. Frau G is. Wish me luck.

This led into a Cheeseman story which I’m not going to post just now. I have some requests to take care of.

Q: How do you know when it’s time to buy a new toilet brush?

Buddy’s household tips:

Every morning I clean our glass cook top from the day before. If you have a glass cook top, you know how hard it is to clean it well. I use Barkeeper’s Friend and that works pretty good. And I use a razor blade. But a lot of that fine stuff that you can’t get up so easily is mineral deposits from when you spill and it gets hot. You know, those shiny spots, and those little lines after you scrub it. I tried this and it works: I poured a little vinegar, enough to cover the surface, and I let it sit. Actually, I probably let it sit too long because when I remembered, it had all dried. I wiped it up with a paper towel, and it came out good and clean, cleaner than I had ever gotten it before.

Need to transpose music?  A while back I made this chart:

Suppose you’re in the key of G and you want to be in the key of C. Go down the first column to C. Then go down the row till you get to the G in column 8. All your transposed chords will be in that column. For example, if you have an E minor, go down the E row, and in column 8 you will see B. So your E minor becomes a B minor. I realize that experienced musicians don’t need this chart, but for dummies like U-No-Hoo it makes it easy.

This from Phillip B:

Ain’t it the truth
