The original muesli was created in Switzerland around 1900. A physician by the name of Maximilian Bircher-Benner came up with the dish as a remedy for his hospital patients. (In the United States, two brothers named Kellogg invented corn flakes at a sanitarium in Michigan and as that business took off a former patient, C.W. Post, began a rival company. There is a strange correlation between doctors, patients, hospitals and breakfast cereal.) If you grew up in Europe, especially Switzerland or Germany, muesli may have been a staple for breakfast or even lunch. In the United States I never heard of it until Kellogg’s began marketing Mueslix. Pictured above is a store brand box of Muesli from Kroger. I discovered that cereal a couple of years ago while working at Kroger, otherwise I wouldn’t know it exists. I can buy Muesli still but not Kellogg’s Mueslix… at least in the store. I have now learned that i can order Mueslix from Amazon.com or even Walmart.com. Our local Walmart doesn’t put it on the shelf but Kellogg’s makes it and I can order it from Walmart and get it with two-day shipping. Just like I can buy store brand bran flakes at Walmart and Food Lion but cannot find Kellogg’s or Post bran flakes anywhere. Those brand name cereals are also still produced but not carried by grocery stores, at least where I live. Your mileage may vary.

Short answer: I don’t know. My Canadian blog friend Paul Wilkinson asked about Coffee with Jesus last week. The four panel comic strip used to be a regular feature on our Happy Monday posts. The website has been derelict for ages then the Twitter feed went cold. Up until March 6th of this year posts were still being made to the Facebook feed. No mention of taking a break, going on sabbatical, “miss you guys, hope to be back soon…” The line has just gone dead. The comment thread on the last post goes from “We miss CWJ cartoons” a few months ago to “I hope everything is alright” in recent weeks. So David Wilkie, if you’re out there, if friends or family members know of his whereabouts or condition, his followers are concerned. And want to read more comic strips, it’s a mixed bag.

Nichelle Nichols, another actor from the original Star Trek series, is no longer with us. She considered leaving the show after one season but was famously told by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. “No you may not.” Up until that point she had never considered herself a role model as an African-American woman playing a bridge officer on a television series. Gene Roddenberry had a vision of the future that went over most people’s heads at the time. The hours were grueling, the interpersonal conflicts on set were never ending and the show would not get the recognition it deserved for decades. Nichols stuck it out and Lt. Uhura is of course her best known role. For the record George Takei and Walter Koenig are both 85, William Shatner is 91.

This bit combines my love of history, cars and t.v. shows from my childhood. These pics do in fact show models being used to shoot jump scenes of the General Lee. But it wasn’t always that way. When the Dukes of Hazzard premiered on CBS in 1979, the ’69 Dodge Charger was already 10 years old. According to production records 18,776 were produced that year. That’s not really that many to start with and after a decade many of those were already off the road and out of service. CBS totally destroyed as many as 300 cars filming the series and needed a few hero cars to be used on set, with the actors, in close ups etc. It was easy enough to change out the grill and wheels and make a ’70 model look like a ’69, at least for high speed shots ending in crashes. They repaired and reused as many cars as they could but eventually resorted to reusing footage from earlier seasons, painting a few Ambassadors as the General Lee and, yes, filming models. But don’t think they were not really jumping actual cars for the first few seasons. That’s why 1969 Dodge Chargers are highly sought after collectables today. The Dukes of Hazzard made the General Lee popular among fans and nearly unattainable at the same time by destroying so many of them.

Fake News. I first thought this looked like a fun headline to share in the Deja Vu. Shelbyville Municipal Government is a parody webpage. None of the stories are real and as a matter of fact it is ambiguous as to where Shelbyville is supposed to be. What this really represents is a dig at SubWay because only a tomato slice as thin as a piece of paper would even fit into a bill changer. Any normal person making a sandwich would have thicker slices.

Unintentional optical illusion. The person walking is not in costume and has no idea they will be confused later with Birdman. Nor is this a bird with human legs in case that’s where you went.

Bunch Stadium? That’s what I thought for a few seconds until I realized the Cardinals play at Busch Stadium.

Kate Bush is doing interviews again after her 1985 song “Running Up That Hill” has become a top ten hit in the US thanks to Stranger Things. This satire piece has been confused by some as actual news but it was posted by comedian Keaton Patti. Kate Bush lives in Devon which is literally filled with hills.

There were two posts yesterday at The Master’s Table. I wasn’t trying to be funny by posting the long-awaited iMonk Radio Podcast episode #100 one day late. Three more posts and to borrow a baseball analogy, which would make Michael proud, we will have batted through the order. And I wrote an actual blog post – yeah I know right – about eternity and the nature of time as it relates to heaven and hell. God exists outside of time and so will we.
