Each morning, on the way to work, we pass a Morgan, parked along the side of the street, with a tarp over it. Each morning, I point and say "Ducky", and Hubby rolls his eyes.
This morning, I missed my cue.
Just before we reached the Morgan, there was a bright yellow Charger with black pin-striping.
I do believe we'll be watching Heartland tonight.

Can't say I've ever seen a Morgan in real life.
I've actually met a real life NCIS Agent though. She was at my work because we had a rental that was a get-together for a bunch of different law enforcement agencies.
I heard her talking to someone else while they were walking down the hallway when I was dust mopping. The other person asked her why an NCIS Agent was at the get-together (not much need for the Navy in St. Louis). She replied, 'I was invited.'
I couldn't stop myself from going up to her and asking if she watched the show. She said she did so I asked her if it was at all like it is on the show. She said, "In a few ways yes, in more ways no. We have way more paperwork."

Well, I may not survive to join you all for next season.
My mother-in-law moves in today, staying with us while she looks for her own place.
She's a lovely lady.
But... we're both slobs and she is OCD, heads will butt.

You will make it. Just bite your tongue, anywhere inside your mouth really helps. I used to do that a lot with in-laws and other family members. Still do now and then.

But... we're both slobs and she is OCD, heads will butt. I guarantee you will survive. Just when we thought we were empty-nesters, we ended up caring for my mother during her final years. We had already survived doing the same for my inlaws. You just adapt.
Now that we have moved into our third act (retirement) we are the visiting inlaws. I had to chuckle over your slob vs OCD comment. I had the following discussion with my daughter last night:
Me: "We are planning on coming for a week the first week of July to help you settle into your new house."
Daughter: "That's great dad! I look forward to the help." Talks to husband off to the side: "Dad and mom are coming to help us settle in and unpack."
SIL: "Oh God, that means he is going to have to organize everything."
Daughter: "He is on speaker phone."
SIL: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh #$#!##"

ROTFLMAO dude! The first time my parents came for a visit after they retired, my mom reorganized my kitchen while I was at work. I couldn't find things for a month after they returned to Florida. Just had to smile and say "thanks Mom".

Thank you.
She arrived Wednesday night. Final sift, what's going into storage, what's going in our place is winding down. "They *are* lovely, but we already have 3 sets of lovely dishes.", etc.

It sounds like things are going well.
I decided that since my SIL didn't want my Virgo brain organizing everything, then the next best thing is to declutter part of our basement storage room. My daughter has had 17 boxes stored in our basement ever since they got married 22 years ago. Since they now have a new house then I think it is time for my daughter to be reunited with all of her possessions.
If I can't add to the organization, I can at least I can add to the chaos.

22 years? Aside from nostalgia, I'm not sure I'd be inclined to open them.

just what kind of "evilness" exists among my friends out there?
as a mother/mother-in-law I would never consider rearranging my kids' house! let them do all that work!! Maxine and I much prefer to sit back, drink Margaritas and let them do all the dirty work!
hell, I have cr@p in my own "hacienda" that should have gone to Goodwill - or in the trash - years ago, but "de-shi*ting" is such a major project, and now in my "rusty years" I don't do anything major any more...

My (capri)corny brain read this twice trying to figure out where a Sister In Law fit into the equation. Somehow son-in-law just refused to register. When my wife's parents moved to her brother's place a couple of years ago a U-Haul full of junk valuable possessions that didn't go with them made their way to clutter up our house. And somehow she notices if anything is moved. Recently I was desperate enough to take 3 bins of Christmas ornaments that were never going to be used (I put out a decent display every year and still don't manage to used all of our own stuff) to Goodwill and told her I'd found mold in the bins.

Watching The Love Boat on ME TV, last night, there was an episode with Mark Harmon. A 1983 episode, he's a brown haired, mustached, naïve, assistant to the VP, with a crush on the gal from Payroll, who happens to be having an affair with the VP. It was pretty amusing.
