I’m more with FCD. Never seen an episode, due to lack of motivation to hunt it down or join a series with decades of backstory I wouldn’t have a clue about. ---

For those who are not Philistines interested, here is a link to the first part of the very first [Dr. Who: An Unearthly Child](http://youtu.be/YZa272j_3TI). I admit, I’m only interested in the old Dr. Who’s but only because I haven’t seen any of the new ones. Now if you’ll excuse me, _ **I** _ have an afternoon to fritter away. ---

I never got into _Dr Who_ either. I remember it used to come on PBS last at night, after (I think it was) _Mystery Theatre_? I liked to watch _Hercule Peroit_ with David Suchet. **Flytrap** I’m sorry for the raccoon too but rabies is always a concern in this area. I’m surprised there even was a raccoon in this neighborhood. ---

That’s a shame about the raccoon. Since it was rabid, it was inedible. 😛 ---

I liked to watch _Hercule Peroit_ with David Suchet. Ah, M. Suchet’s Poirot. Truly one of the classics. He was so prim with his gloves and cane. Dammit, now I want to watch Hercule Poirot. ---

Lucky me - I’m up before 5 again!!! :rolleyes: And I got to clean dog poop off the carpet because someone couldn’t be bothered to let me know she wanted to go out. Happy Sunday… It’s 26° and quite windy out - definitely a stay-inside day. We will go to the gym this afternoon when it opens (at 1) but otherwise, we’re playing in the basement. I have some pots to finish and my sweetie has been working on a Harley-related painting, just because. He plans to give it to the club to use as a door prize - I think it’s a way to let them all know that he does air-brushing… subtle but potentially effective. 😃 I’ve got to sort thru my boxes of Christmas ornaments - I’ll pull out the ones that mean something to us and I’m giving the rest to my sister. There are a bunch that I’ve never touched other than to put them in the box, so no sentiment there. I’m guessing there are a dozen or so I will want to keep. Not sure why - we don’t do a tree any more. Maybe one day if there are grandkids?? Time to caffeinate.
