You laugh, but this is the weather forecaster I grew up watching:

Could never master this:

A motor, what luxury! We had a manual crank. It was a workout!

Sometime in the late 1990s, when he was still on TV, Andy Rooney was in line in front of us in the Home Depot in Norwalk, Connecticut (where he lived in the quaint seaside hamlet of Rowayton). He's exactly what you would have expected from the fusty old New Englander that he played on TV: instead of a slick wallet with an American Express black card, he pulled out from his front pants pocket a giant stack of crumpled bills mixed with bits of paper, rubber bands, sticks of chewing gum and the like, and counted out exact change. Later, after we checked out, we saw him in a rusting Jeep Cherokee headed for the exit. That's New England frugality at its finest, given that he was pulling in millions per year at CBS.

About 100 feet from where I now sit sometime in the 1920s Mrs. V's mother, then a teenager, sat on the back stoop of the cottage then owned by Mrs. V's grandparents. She was cranking an ice cream maker.

Up from the train station walked a boy from Queens on his way to the Epworth League camp then just south of the Circle.

He offered to help turn the crank.

And so Mrs. V's father and mother met for the first time.

Mrs. V's grandmother, being a proper Brooklynite, wasn't at all sure about this boy from Queens. However her mother told Mrs. V's mother to be that he was alright.

That tough old Scotswoman's opinion proved right.

I guess this is the best thread for this.

This is absolutely wild. The long lost 3 foot filming miniature of the USS Enterprise - stolen from Gene’s office in the 70s - showed up on eBay overnight listed by someone who purchased an abandoned storage unit. Analysis of the photos shows it is likely genuine. #StarTrek
