    I read somewhere that the image of Columbus is tarnished – he must have been a really brutal conqueror.

    Still I wish you all a good day – should be Indian summer in Buffalo e g, shouldn’t it?

        George, we are having more Buffalo or Portland-like weather than you today – mid-60s, overcast with a little drizzle. Not the nicest day for a parade, The summer-like weather returns here tomorrow for a few days.

        Jeff, you’re welcome to the 80s when they make it to your side of the State. We’ll be back to normal temps this weekend: 60s.

      Rick, I chose DOCTOR WHO because things are “working out.” We’re heading for the 80s for most of this week. I prefer it cooler.

    Not being totally PC, I still support Columbus Day while at the same time being pro-Indigenous American Day.

    I’ve been very happy with all the recent Doctors and am looking forward to Jodie Whittaker.

    Enjoy the holiday, George.

      Jerry, hope you and your family enjoy Columbus Day. We’re going out to a swanky restaurant. My sister is about to head back to her condo in Florida (she’s a Snowbird) so Diane and I decided to take her out to dinner before she leaves.

        Rick, Diane went to Ohio to help her sister recover from total knee replacement surgery last week. Diane came home yesterday to do laundry and see STEELY DAN tomorrow. Diane will drive back to Ohio to assist her sister again on Thursday. I’ll be holding the fort until we leave for Boston in a couple weeks and New Orleans a couple weeks after that.

    Just returned from Spain. Columbus certainly a significant European figure. Returned from the end of the world!

        The Columbo movies appeared early on German TV – I also was a big fan of his!
        Have to admit that there were many US detective series on tv which I didn’t like too much, but didn’t watch much tv anyway – preferred to go out to pary (or read a book …).

        Wolf, in the 1950s and 1960s American TV had dozens of detective shows. Westerns, too. Then, those genres declined.
