Recycling milk jugs.

You really can make stuff with used plastic milk jugs, and it’s not hard. Just cut them open so you can clean them thoroughly inside and out (or else you will get burnt brown spots) and heat them up to 350 deg F. I don’t encourage experimenting with any other plastics unless you really know what you are doing because they can emit poisonous fumes when heated, but if you see the number 2 in a triangle (like in the screenshot) and stick to 350 degrees then you’re probably OK.

A genius comedian.

The first time I saw John Pinette on television was probably in the 80’s and I loved him but I didn’t catch his name and could never figure out for years who he was. Then I stumbled across him on YouTube a few years ago and watched everything available by him, only to find out he passed away. He was part comedian and part actor, and his acting was an asset in his comedy. I show this particular clip because it’s the original routine I saw him deliver all those years ago – if you like this one, search his name and watch the others.
