Walter Cronkite died yesterday. Our household was a CBS household for morning shows and evening news all throughout my youth. I'm not sure how that happened, because their morning shows were watched by virtually no one. I mean we knew Bill Kurtis way back when before he was threatening Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on that AT&T ad.

For evening news though, it was always "Uncle Walter". It is really something, I think the person I may have seen the closest to Cronkite on TV in my lifetime might be Jerry Seinfeld, and he's beat by miles. I mean Cronkite was always there. Vietnam. Political conventions. Space coverage. Watergate.

They certainly don't make 'em like him anymore.

Meal of Links

Gale and I headed over to Johnny Mango last night, because I had a coupon near its expiry date. Jeepers, when we got there it was slammed, but it did ease a bit after 7:30 or so. One guy was there for a takeout. He ordered two Pad Thai. That seemed like an odd place to get Pad Thai. I went for the grilled steak quesadilla, and truth be told, I inhaled it.

I wonder how this outfit will look when I eat my pudding, waiting for UFOs.
