The paper says the Mickey Mouse Club is on at 5:30 on channel 9, and Yogi Bear on channel 13. It’s 1963, so no Tivo, no VCR. You stand there with the channel-changing pliers, and mom says come eat dinner or go hungry.

Yogi also has Snagglepuss, but MMC has Annette! Then again… Man, that fried chicken smells good!

Of course you go eat, because dad is home and going hungry would be the least of your worries. Doesn’t everybody eat when dad gets home anyway?

I wish they would reboot Yogi Bear with more realistic behavior. “Hey Booboo! There’s a pic-nic basket in this Honda! help me rip the door off!”

It is surprising that the ranger didn’t shoot him with a tranquilizer dart and send Yogi off to be Magilla Gorilla’s roommate.

■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?

■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
