Winds of Spring

Got a quick start this morning with breakfast and the short "Beezy Bear." Humphrey the Bear keeps trying to get to Donald's honey boxes. First, he has trouble distracting the bees, then J. Audubon Woodlore the park ranger takes the board Humphrey used to hold up the wire fence. Donald intends to wash him out, but he doesn't want to be the one holding the hose when the water hits them!

It was late when I rushed out. I got there a little late too, which was the worst thing that happened during my entire 8 1/2 hour shift. It was dead when I came in. It did pick up considerably later in the day, to the point where I had a hard time keeping up with the carts after about 2:30-3. Had to put away a lot of cold items and mop the women's bathroom really fast, too. The weather was cold in the morning, and got cloudy and cold again after about 3-3:30, but it was sunny, windy, and relatively warm in between. 

Changed and put on Match Game Syndicated when I got home. By the time I got in, they were still on the week with Betty Kennedy in Brett's seat. Around when I started eating, they'd switched to the week where Jack Klugman sat in his ex-wife's usual seat so he wouldn't have to pay alimony. At one point, Gene and Jack had their backs turned to the camera while they "fished" in the "canal" behind the top risers. Gene and Charles got Jack a radio so he could hear the races, too. Brian Patrick Clarke of Eight Is Enough was the male ingenue that week who got to watch their shenanigans. 

Finished the night after a shower with specials and vintage TV episodes on Tubi. Scooby Doo! Ghastly Goals takes Mystery Inc to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for the International Soccer Cup. Shaggy and Scooby run afoul of a red horned monster when they try to help a couple of kids retrieve their soccer ball. The kids want their ball back because it's signed by a major soccer star, but the monster has a much greater interest in it. Turns out he spilled a formula for a super-bouncy rubber on the ball. Scooby will have to hit the field to help get the ball back and keep this horned creep from wrecking more havoc.

Hugs and Tugs are having their own problems in "Care About Spring," a later episode of Care Bears Family. When they won't help each other out, Gram Bear tells them the story of Jack and Jill, who are given a magic ring that could help save Mother Nature from the Witch of Winter. The kids are upset when they use the ring to help Wee Willie Winkie and Jack Be Nimble instead of with their mission. They go to help Mother Nature anyway...and get some surprise help from the friends they helped out along the way.
