Ah, all right ... well, that's reasonable enough. I'd had
some nice tiny waste baskets outside my office in Singapore, but they
might be be so available in Manhattan.

It somehow had the feel of a rerun piece. Maybe just because
these 'grab-bag' sessions feel like they lend themselves to repeated
footage for at least some of the affairs.

Oh, well, yeah, the 'old' footage didn't look a *thing* like
it could be plausibly 1982. It looked like it could plausibly have
been from as much as three weeks ago. It's like they don't realize
there are styles to graphic design.

My parents have that too. It makes the local forecast blurbs
look *so* out of place, somehow.
