 Fr 7/17/26 715am (GB: 6/ Green Crack). 745am (6-B: Cat Piss). 1215pm (GB: 6/Green Crack). 225pm (5-B: Cat Piss). 430pm (6-B: Cat Piss). 530pm (GB: NEW STRAIN- Red Congolese). 830pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). Up 610am: A mix of sun & clouds with a 40% chance of rain this afternoon & temps to about 90. [No Rain] A couple of restart requests and it looks like I am up to date. I hate Windows Updates! Watched 'THE PHYSICIAN' (Kanopy). It's a highly romanticized & sentimental look at the state of medicine in The High Middle Ages (c. 1000 through 1300 AD).  The theme is that religious fanatics (regardless of their faith) believe that only God can heal, and if a human tries it, he's working for the devil. Plot Flaw: The Barbers and Hakims must have had some knowledge of organs and how they were positioned within the human body. Even 11th century medics would have dealt with the shattered bodies of sword victims and must have witnessed the placement of the organs; with Tom ...

Partly sunny with the threat of storms this afternoon and temps to 90 and Heat Index to 100.  Watched 'MY SISTER'S BONES' (Hoopla). I didn't realize the extreme irony of the film's title until I was part way into the film. It's a complex tale of a dysfunctional family. A female war correspondent in her forties becomes attached to an orphan boy in war torn Iraq. The kid is imaginary and was brought on by trauma caused when as an eight year old she let her little brother drown at the beach. A lot of family drama is uncovered, and, much later, we learn that her brother in law was keeping his step daughter and child in an underground bunker on the property. I was into the film and it's one of the few times I think that a film would have worked better if it was longer. Filmed in Kent, En...

Sunny to partly cloudy with temps to low 90's and Heat Index over 100. ***The massive update earlier in the week on the upstairs PC did not help the 'mini-blackouts'. Actually, it's worse, but no interruption after it connects. There is no problem with the downstairs PC. I thought they were internally the same. Watched 'COUNTER INVESTIGATION' (Amazon Prime- from the novel 'Like A Bone In The Throat' by Lawrence Block). I found this title on Hoopla and realized it was streaming at Amazon Prime. A French detective's nine year old daughter is raped and murdered. The killer is arrested and sentenced. The killer contacts the detective and convinces him that he ...

Last night I was expecting a big update from Windows like the living room PC, but nothing.  I trimmed back some of the taller flowers (weeds?) so it looks more uniform along the front walk (5").  Watched 'HUNTING EMMA' (Hoopla- when I connected it said 'resume' but I didn't remember a single solitary scene). It's a 'B-Movie' that's borderline 'torture porn' although it doesn't take itself too seriously. A young scantily clad woman in a desolate area of South Africa is harassed and chased by six criminals. In the end, she kills them all. 'Violence is more effective than Pacifism' & 'Might Make Right '.  From the girl's drivers license: she lived in Paradyskloof which is an upscale suburb of Klein...

 Mo 7/13/26- Cannabis Order: DiamondCBD 720am (GB: 6/ Green Crack). 1005am (4-B: Cat Piss). 1230pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 240pm (6-B/  Cat Piss). 435pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 530pm (GB: 6/ Green Crack). 835pm (GB: 6/ Green Crack). Up 610am: Sunny & hot with temps to about 90. Request for a restart and I hope it solves the 'mini-blackouts' when connecting to Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. It's a major update and took a few minutes and was 100% complete. Watched 'HIJACKED' (Kanopy). Based on the true story of Vietnamese Flight 501. On June 28, 1978 there occurred a violent 52- minute skyjacking that proved to be the bloodiest hijackings in Vietnamese aviation history. The movie was basically a collection of intense & bloody fistfights over handguns slippery with bodily fluids. Barely worth a look and I don't think that seeing this in the IMAX format would have helped. Filmed in Ho Chi Minh City. First Vietnamese action feature on IMAX. Finished 'BLOOD SISTERS...

 Su 7/12/26 645am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' Sativa: 50 mg total}. 730am (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 810am (4-B: Cat Piss).1140am (GB: 6/ Green Crack). 415pm (GB: 4.B: Cat Piss). 530pm (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 840pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss).  Up 610am: Sunny to partly cloudy with temps to the upper 80's. Weekly Cleaning Watched 'CRISIS' (Netflix). "Oh, The Horror of Drug Addiction!" This was far too melodramatic and tried to show the most extreme anti-drug portrayal possible and then balanced that view with a sympathetic attitude towards the police in that there are just not enough laws to solve the problem. THE PREMISE: A super-pill that relieves pain 100% and has zero possibility of addiction. Who would be the first to see what the 'super-pill' would feel like if you took it without pain? "41" Metascore and I would boost that to "75"; with Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny's daughter; a striking ...
