A few nights ago(7 pm),I pulled into my driveway,I noticed a rabbit sitting motionless,looking up. It was about 30 degrees out. I had taken the car to the store for maybe 15 minutes and when I'd left,there was no rabbit in the area. As I drove in,he didn't move a muscle. I went into the house and spread some peanut butter on bread and broke it into pieces and threw it out a foot away. He still didn't move. I kept looking out the window and there he sat,looking frozen. A half hour later I noticed he had shifted about 2 feet,but still not moving. Finally,he was gone and so was the bread and peanut butter(with a note):

"Next time,leave coffee."

BASEBALL ANNOUNCER/COMEDIAN WITH DEADPAN DELIVERY,BOB UECKER,NOW JUST DEAD--AT 90.

GRA:If you thought Bob Newhart had a deadpan style,Uecker took it to a new level--he NEVER cracked a smile on his "The Tonight Show" appearances.


(NY post)Bob Uecker, who turned what was, by his own admission, a mediocre baseball career into a 54-year broadcasting gig with the Milwaukee Brewers that earned him a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame and featured roles in commercials, a 1980s television series and in the popular “Major League” film trilogy, died Thursday. He was 90.

Uecker, a light-hitting catcher for three teams during a six-year major league playing career, including stints with his hometown Milwaukee Braves and the 1964 world-champion St. Louis Cardinals, was known more for spouting one-liners than hitting line drives. And usually those barbs were aimed at his own undistinguished playing career. He hit .200 in 297 major league games and once led the league in passed balls.

“And I didn’t even play in all the games,” he said proudly.

THAT'S A WRAP:DAVID LYNCH,ECCENTRIC DIRECTOR OF LATE 20TH CENTURY MOVIES AND TV SHOWS,"BLUE VELVET" AND TWIN PEAKS",DIES OF EMPHYSEMA AT 78.

CNN

David Lynch, an influential director known for his unique and surrealistic films and TV shows including “Blue Velvet” and “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78.

Cause of death was emphysema,exacerbated by a lifetime of smoking.

GRA:"Eraserhead" came out in 1977,I was dragged to the
corner theater by my cousin to see a tremendously bizarre film. I caught "Blue Velvet",but don't remember much about it except that Dennis Hopper was in it as a maniacal killer. I also saw "Mulholland Drive" and "Angel Heart" and a few others. Usually his films were enjoyable and dark. I went to a lot of movies back in the 80s and 90s and Lynch had plenty of them on movie screens.
