Jim Cox and Trashman play dominoes - good sequence as they study the moves. Informal chat with Sheila Cox as she describes different names and C. B. handles of people at Slabs. (Sheila Cox talk tends to be warm and orange/red video). Drive along shots from roof of Sherman's truck tends to be shaky and not real strong. However, panning across Slabs to show Christmas lights at night is decent.
