Sorry to hear about Iacocca, he saved a lot of people their jobs back in the day. “If you can find a better car, buy it” was one of the great advertising lines of all time. ---

Tyrone won’t be offering Gladys a Walnetto any longer, nor propositioning her on the park bench. _Verrrry interesting_. In 1968 I received a plastic German helmet and trick-or-treated as Artie Johnson. ---

How could Arte Johnson be 90? I had no idea he was so much older than the other Laugh-In folks (and me). Sorry that there will be no more Walnettos. ---

I’m currently enjoying _MLB 18_ on the PS4. I have a Road to the Show player named after myself, tearing it up for the Red Sox, currently in the 2021 season. I went to check the stats and league leaders and who is the American League player of the month for August 2021? Tyler Skaggs. Weird, man. ---
