ESP

    No, not THAT kind of ESP. Latest weird dialysis facility phenomenon is that the TV in the waiting area is switched to Spanish even though there are no Spanish-speaking patients in the facility that I have encountered. The other day, it was switched to Spanish but there was no Spanish feed, so you would get the incidental music and the commercials but whenever anybody talked, you would just see their lips move. As this was one of those A&E shows about real people and their real work, I found it a great improvement. Apparently, somebody hit the ESP button on the remote without realizing it, and now they don't realize that they could fix the situation by hitting the ESP button again. Maybe if they read my mind...
    Dreams last night were peculiar to a new and infinite degree. William Devane was starring in a remake of "All In The Family." (This alone is a great idea.) As Archie, he was talking to an acquaintance, trying to find a prejudice that would let him justify in his mind disliking the man. The acquaintance knew this and was messing with Archie, identifying himself with various ethnic names, then saying that each wasn't really his name. I can't even blame the radio; due to a short it had fizzled out. Weird, huh?
