Driving to work this morning, there was a jack-knifed big rig + 8 car pile up which took up 2 lanes of traffic on BOTH sides of Hwy 101 (due to emergency vehicles). I hate 101.

Ok random question because it’s driving me crazy — what was the name of the movie with the famous long single-shot intro that ended with a bomb going off? Old movie, maybe Hitchcock. Has a killer name, and I can’t remember it so it’s driving me crazy.

Touch of Evil . Directed by Orson Welles. With Charlton Heston, playing a dark-skinned Mexican.

Best line ever uttered by Heston, in character or out:

“I’m on the trail of a chocolate soda for my wife.”

PS - Great present, Shark.
