Arrested, Yet No Development

This story was reported recently by CNS News:

FLAGSTAFF, Arizona — Most people can't wait to leave jail, but one northern Arizona inmate has been charged with trespassing after refusing to leave the Coconino County lockup.

Coconino County Sheriff's Office spokesman Gerry Blair says 44-year-old Martin Batieni Kombate was arrested in Flagstaff last week for trespassing and was scheduled for release Monday on his own recognizance on the charge.

But when detention officers from the sheriff's office showed up to escort him out, Kombate allegedly said he wasn't leaving and was staying because he couldn't find his wallet.

Blair tells The Associated Press that Kombate was disorderly in a jail cell, would not leave, so the police were called and Kombate was arrested.

Blair says Kombate remains in jail.

So... let me get this straight: The guy refused to leave jail, so they arrested him and... what? Kept him in jail?

Bwahahahahahahaha!!! That's priceless!

Wonder if he's found his wallet yet?

Death of a Robot

Well, not technically a robot... THE robot... read on...

CNS News reports that Dick Tufeld died this past Sunday (January 22):

Dick Tufeld, a radio and TV announcer best known as the voice of the robot in the 1960s television show "Lost in Space," has died. He was 85.

Tufeld's career included announcing for the 1950s radio show "Space Patrol." He also worked on hundreds of commercials, sports and news programs and TV shows ranging from "Zorro" to "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea."

However, Tufeld is perhaps best known for voicing the "Lost in Space" robot, whose warnings of "Danger, Will Robinson!" became a catchphrase.

There it goes, another bit of my childhood has passed away. Let's be honest, the coolest part about "Lost in Space" was the Robot (although the notion of being a 10-year-old boy traveling on a spaceship was definitely a close second).

This is NOT a photo of Mr. Tufeld, but rather of the Robot to whom he lent his voice.

So, I Made Lasagna...

My wife works long hours, three days a week. On those days, I cook dinner, so that she won't have to. At least once a week, I like to make something special.

This past Saturday, I made lasagna. FROM SCRATCH (well, except for the pasta). I'd never made it before, so I dug around the Internet, and found this recipe.

My son marvels when I make something like that. He said I was becoming quite the chef. I corrected him: Real chefs create their own recipes.

Mine looked much better than this. I wish I would've taken a picture. BTW, my wife loved it (and so did I, it was quite delicious).

Neil Young: Harvest

“I want to live, I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old…”

Forty years ago, in February of 1972, Neil Young’s fourth album, Harvest, was released. His previous outing, After The Gold Rush, had made it into the Top Ten on Billboard’s album charts, so many were eager to see what Young had in store for them. Ever eclectic, he did not disappoint.
