Looks like I got it way off... I went back and found quite a few postcards from over the years with different prices. The one I quoted seems to have been from the 1970's (based on the stamp used). Here is one for the early 50's a little more in line with what we would have expected.
According to a postcard from the same period you had to meet the night's minimum cover in food and/or beverages. Weeknights $8, Saturdays $9...
Darn... I was hoping for at least one poisoned key.

Still get cravings for the Tasmanian Beef Stu. So good.

Love it! Just perfect.

Same... I had won tickets off the radio, but all I knew was that Han Solo was in it. So went in completely cold and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

It's characters the _article writer_ had never heard of... why they have to bring the rest of us into it I have no idea.
D1) again, this is difficult to pull off at longer lengths. But you don't get good at a thing by not doing it.
E) YOU DON'T GET GOOD AT A THING BY NOT DOING IT done is better than perfect. Don't worry so much about "practicing right" just practice. You can adjust as you need as you go on.
I'll see you 'Beauty' and raise you "Talk to Ya later"...

Our sweet little Trixie the tabby cat is still in the wild here in the Ormewood Park/Glenwood Park neighborhood of #Atlanta… last seen Sunday morning.
Please be on the lookout or RT, and contact me if you think you may have seen her. 🙏😿 She is a chipped, indoor cat with no collar.
Parents took us to the drive-in in our footy pajamas to see "Blazing Saddles". I was six.
