The world has lost another comic talent. A mere 3 weeks after the passing of Bob "Gilligan" Denver, Don "Maxwell Smart" Adams has passed away. I remember growing up and seeing reruns of Get Smart and being highly entertained by Adams's Agent 86. Born Donald James Yarmy (he took the surname of Adams from his first wife...talk about being modern), Adams was also the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo and Inspector Gadget. I've no doubt that he will be missed.

In the "how the heck did that happen?" category: An 18-month old in Warsaw (that would be in Poland) started the family car and ran over three of the family members. (Oh, so that's where we left the keys dear.) The mother tried to stop the car when it began going backwards. She and her four year-old daughter were run over and poor grandpa got pinned against a barn. What I don't understand is how the car started going backwards once the car was started. Was it already in reverse? And what a smart little bugger the 18-month-old is to know how to start the car. Now all he needs is a cracker jack box.

That's it for now. Enjoy your day,
