While driving home across the Land of Lincoln, I espied a small "art" theatre and had to stop for 90 minutes to enjoy "Land Mines Along the Border" starring John Wayne and Joe E. Brown. It's a Northwestern love triangle with Ingrid Bergman playing the part of the hypotenuse (Tom Lehrer). The Canadian Rockies were stunning, but color photography would have been nice. Because it's an old film, Ingrid had to settle for kissing her horse, while The Duke rode off onto the sunset and Joe E. cruised up the Mackenzie and eventually came upon an all-girl orchestra. The minor characters were actual miners, and the land mines were not so much mines as dynamite sticks. All the gold they found blew away in the wind, and the Mounties did have badges.

This week Bobbin had enough reasonable questions to avoid any filler. I'm hoping it's because some of you either submitted some qood questions, or so many silly ones, that he's beginning to get the picture.
