It's shaping up to be a good week. I discovered I didn't delete the Ginger Zee on Rachel Ray clip (see below) AND I finally found a quality DVD rip of Cockeyed Cavaliers. I've long known of the 1934 romp by the forgotten comedy team of Wheeler and Woolsey, but only had it in a TV-rip of poor quality.

I've already jumped down several rabbit holes getting this together and I need to post it, but first....
