Shrubbery

Pierce Brosnan and his wife attended a premier, and Cow was so glad to see that flowered gowns are still stylish....since Cow often bedecks her Topiary with garlands in the summer.

Cow was thinking this weekend about how, before the Internet, if you wanted to know more about something, you would take a trip to the library and look it up, or possibly ask people you knew.

Now, hardly a day goes by that Cow doesn't have many Things to Look Up.

Today it was Stephen Stills (after seeing an article about Crosby, of Crosby, Stills, and Nash), various economic sites for indicators (GDP etc), causes of the Great Depression (reportedly, tight tariffs, strict gold standard, too much money in the hands of the wealthy few, decrease in crop supports, not enough Fed support for banks) and correlating the supply of oil with demand (there IS more supply than demand according to this clever article predicting a puncture in the Oil Price Bubble).

Cow wonders if everybody's head is now different now that it's filled with all this extraneous crap and useful nuggets of information...oh, wait, need to look up interviews on Anne Hathaway to see what she says about her boyfriend...

Moo!

Luckily I don't have to worry about my head being different. No sooner than I absorb these bits of information they usually leak out my ears, leaving plenty of room for more useless information the next time.

Fascinating article about oil. If supply has been higher than demand for so long, where are they hoarding the surplus barrels? I think Lieutenant Columbo should investigate, it's about time he diversified out of murders.

That's it - they're under Columbo's jacket!

Susan: Cow does wonder if, after years of chasing millions of obscure facts, the leakage factor will be higher or lower...

Watercolor: (Cow busily looking that up---interviews! Pictures! Live feeds! Yeah!)

Andy: Cow believes Marshall shares your "mmmmmm" and perhaps you can form either a fan club or support group.

GB: Yes, Cow trusts the physicists. Although, wait a minute, if they're so smart, why aren't they rich? Or something.

As for Columbo, Cow believes about the third time he came back with just one more question, the oil companies would give it up.

Dog: You're right, anything could be underneath that trench coat. Though Cow always hoped Bogart would emerge, not barrels of oil.

Moo!

I had a mind like an old attic a long time before the internet was available to the public.

Am I right in half-remembering that it's the Lone Ranger's 75th birthday this year?

At least this pic is more pleasant than the last one you posted of this couple!

Well Cow does try to be considerate (bowing humbly to Miss M)

Lone Ranger is very possibly 75...which, as Mr. K is 79, would make you contemporaries, apparently.

No news on the horse though.

Moo!

I suspect he was only dating her for the breasts....

(That sounds like something my mother would tell me. Oh dear.)
