The Sudden Curve

How to avoid SAD

Get three pounds of Twizzlers for Christmas and you'll be too pre-occupied with peeling the wrappers and eating them to notice how dark it is outside already for a month and you'll never get that seasonal whatchamacallit thing.

Holiday Sidebar Babe ~ Maria Rosaria Pilar Martinez Molina Moquire de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten ... aka CHARO!

That's right CHARO! Usually we rotate about 10 - 14 Sidebar Babes over the Holiday Season but not this year. Charo seemed to fill the side bar just perfectly for a couple of weeks. Besides the fact that she was incomparably hot (as anyone who ever watched Merv Griffin knows full well) Charo is actually a virtuouso Flamenco guitar player and always has been. She even studied with Segovia. Don't believe it, well here she is from 1968 ::

She even gets an assist from Sammy at the end. And if you are thinking that's just a fluke - well here she is many years later playing what looks like one honking hard song to play ~ Recuerdas del las Alhambra ::

What I got for Christmas ~ Shake light

Flashlight Just Shake, No Battery required

This is cool, a flashlight that's shaken not stirred, all you do is shake the thing a little bit and it works fine.  It's just the right size (not ginormous like the multi-D-cell lights I have that don't fit in a center console), and it's plenty bright too. 

You see, it isn't a normal battery light at all - it utilizes Faraday's Principle of ... oh never mind!  Just get one and stick it in the car and forget about it until you need the blamed thing.  Sheesh!"
