A THOUSAND NIGHTS AND A NIGHT
IS SAID (BY BORGES) to be one of the most beautiful book titles in all of literature. We spoke a little of this, but were checked by the unexpected (and welcome) appearance of KrOB. We still discussed ramifications of the story of Sindbad the Sailor's Voyages as we ventured into a mutual favorite, Harryhausen's notable THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD. And there's more poetry and pedantry along with the usual interspersed Archival Recordings. The Dream of Alexander the Great also features, which was itself a dream... We talk of the East and the West as they are found in the Noosphere. Problems in the filming of WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH (that film is itself a problem) creep into the conversation.

Reminisces about Castleberry's Bar-B-Cue Sandwiches as part of the Drive-In Snack Bar array in the long-gone earlier day may be heard.
