This is late because my Internet provider was out of commission most of the weekend.

1. In 1940 Piet Mondrian, the Dutch painter, left Europe to live in New York for the rest of his life. Are you familiar with Mondrian’s work?
Yes, I'm afraid I am. His work varies between interesting abstract and outright lazy. Just shows some people will buy anything.
2. Have you ever owned a small, caged pet (hamster, gerbil, guinea pig, rabbit)?
Me, no. But my brother kept a couple snakes in high school, a docile garter snake and a black racer that bit him every time he picked it up out of it's cage, only to be docile after the first attack. In college my brother had hamsters with his roommate.
3. The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1952. Are you a fan of fried chicken?
On my trip to a sit down restaurant this month I had true fried chicken for the first time in many years. KFC is pressure cooked chicken, which isn't exactly the same thing. (It may be just the local franchises, but KFC doesn't seem to be as good as it once was.) Fried chicken is not something you make for one person, so I eat it rarely. Probably just as well for my health.
4. In September 1955 the very first TV advertisement was broadcast on UK TV. Do TV ad breaks annoy you?
Yes, but I don't watch TV much any more. It's a bit weird that most of the ads on the national news, I watch are for prescription medicines. Something else we can thank(?) Republicans for, high drug prices to pay for commercials for something you can't buy without a doctor's written approval.
5. In 1946 Hergé published the first Adventures of TinTin. Do you remember the cartoon (comic books or TV series)?
Not really. At some point in my college/grad school career there was a big fuss about Tintin being great. I peeked at it at the time and found nothing interesting, at all. I was the wrong age? I had the wrong cultural background?
6. International Rabbit Day - have you ever seen wild rabbits?
Yes. I lived in a clearing in the woods. When we had no dog to chase them, they'd come lounge in the yard. One summer the yard was full of them every day till I saw a coyote lope up our long driveway. For the rest of the summer the rabbits disappeared into hiding.
