Rod came to speak at Penn State when I was there shortly before he died.

Has anyone noticed the new Wal-Mart greeter in Binghamton? He looks kind'a familiar...

Thanks. He was great! I thought he had died of cancer, from smoking of course. At the time, it seemed that everyone that died was caused by cancer, or at least, related as such.
There was a very funny movie called “Saturday the 14th”, a takeoff of the “Friday the 13th” movie.
The TV is on. Every channel has The Twilight Zone.

There was a very funny movie called “Saturday the 14th” With Richard Benjamin and Steve Guttenberg. Haven't seen it in years, but remember enjoying it.

It is believed that his heart problems were related to his years of heavy smoking.

Not surprising - I have friends who live in the upstate NY area, and apparently there are a couple episodes that makes accurate references to local geography, including a town with only a few hundred people. IIRC, the one in the bus station was set somewhere near Ithaca... if anyone local wants to look that up and check it out.
That said, the airplane episode with William Shatner was by far some of the creepiest television I’ve seen - the only other TV show that I can remember coming close to that creepy was the weeping angel episode of the new Doctor Who, and maybe the ‘Hush’ episode of Buffy.

I wish that were true in LA ...at least not on public
airwaves TV....
IMHO, best TV show series ever. I liked them when i was
younger, but greatly appreciated their insight into the
human condition when I got older. Is there ever gonna
be any one writer who can produce that much?

That was a great episode, with a young William Shatner
as the obsessed fortune teller seeker...it makes me
wonder how I would behave if I could find something that
could predict in such detail my queries about the near
future...
