Saturday 9: No One's Here to Sleep

Sam’s Saturday 9: No One's Here to Sleep (2013)

I am at the Cape with company so I might not get to reply to you until this evening

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

I never saw it.

It all depends on how you define “lead foot.”
5 miles an hour over the limit?
10 miles an hour over the limit?
Thursday I was driving up to the Cape and I did about 75 all the way and I was keeping up with traffic, so was that “lead foot” driving?

Or do you define it as quick starts?
But then with an electric vehicle the faster you get up to speed the less electricity you use overall (once you are driving at a constant speed energy usage drops)

He was my science teacher… Mr. Downer.

I think in grad school yes.
One of the advantages of going to school in your sixties when you are discussing the Vietnam and you professor is in their forties you can correct them about the war… no it wasn’t like that.

Hmm… I grew up with farms all around us and now those farms are subdivisions.

An interesting story about watching the movie, I saw it during juror duty. While we were waiting to be interviewed by the lawyers they showed the movie and when the court clerk came out and said that the case was settled and we could go home, we said no. We wanted to see the end of the movie so we all stayed for another 20 minutes to see the end of The Help.

That is almost impossible to answer, I don’t keep track of that.

No, they don’t like us much in Russia. As a matter of fact a lesbian woman was just murdered in Moscow last week just because she was a lesbian.

Grocery shopping the other day in Provincetown the cashier was Russian here on a H-2B visa for the summer. Most of the summer help are here on H-2B visas, you just can't get the kids here to work minimum wage jobs on the Cape.

Nope, not again. Been there done that and the paint was wet of course I was around ten at the time.



  1. You got to watch movies on jury duty?

    We watched The Price Is Right. Who knew a vacuum cleaner was more expensive than Rice-A-Roni?

  2. Was "Mr. Downer" really your teacher's name? If it was, I imagine your classmates had a great deal of fun with it. (Poor guy.)

    1. Yes it was his name and the family has lived in town since the 1700s
      By the way, I work on a committee where one of the state employees is named Dolittle.

  3. Your jury story is funny and how sad a lesbian was killed in Russia just for being a lesbian. They have different beliefs, but I am still interested in seeing Russia. I will probably never go though. My answer said I would probably not feel safe. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend!

  4. Mr. Downer--what a bummer of a name. I saw your comment to The Gal about it. ;)

  5. That is funny that your whole jury wanted to stay and see the end of the movie.
