The Cheese Stands Alone

 Fr 6/12/26- Outage Power & Internet  825am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 920am (5-B: Durban Poison). 1205pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 540pm (GB: 6/Durban Poison). 830pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese).  Up 550am: Bright & sunny with temps just over 80. The AC is 'Off' at least for the morning [all day & night]. Feels good man. Before I got on the internet I cleaned up some of the smaller branches that had fallen on the driveway. I talked with the guy next door and we'll remove the pine tree Monday around 8am. $300.  When I went online the internet was down and Xfinity showed the outage on the phone; text and outage map.  I read for a while and then tried again at 730am and we were up and rolling. The red light is now 'On' at the router and this signifies that the power was 'Off'. Paid Visa   Watched 'MAPLETHORPE' (Netflix). Kind of dull, yet a somewhat engaging portrayal of a very flawed individual. The guy had many rough edges and a lot of his behavior ...

 Th 6/11/26- Agnes Fenner: 1130am/ BAD STORM 7am (GB: 5/ Congolese Red). 750am (4-B: Congolese Red). 840am (GB: 4/ Congolese Red). 1230pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 1230pm [1/2 100 VIIA 'Day Drift' Sativa: 50 mg total]. 535pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). (no weed) Up 550am: Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to about 90 & a chance for thunderstorms this afternoon. A huge storm blew through the area last night. Trees are down in many parts of Springfield (especially near the airport; the Animal Protection League took a direct hit) and power is out in some areas near the airport. The woman's branch pile across the street was scattered and the front porch rain gauge measured over two inches. I moved the new gauge out from under the tree and to the other side of the driveway.  I was very apprehensive about the 1130am visit to 800 N. 1st because of constipation. The problem was resolved at 715am. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I've got to say something. Descr...

 We 6/10/26- Mowed Lawn 710am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 1010am {1/2 'Extreme Chill 150 mg: 75 mg total}. 1225pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 245pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 535pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 850pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese Sativa...NEW STRAIN).  Up 610am: Hot & humid with temps to low 90's & Discomfort Index off the charts. Very violent weather to the north from Peoria to Milwaukee.  Just as I was turning on the film I got a prompt to 'restart'; it took about 3 minutes. Watched '12 HOUR SHIFT' (Netflix). An absurdist comedy that skewers White Trash characters; the writing is excellent. One night in a small hospital when a 'organs for money' plot is revealed. Mayhem ensues; written & directed by Brea Grant, produced by David Arquette. "63" Metascore and I would go to "83". From THE A.V. CLUB- "The material is edgy and at times outrageously gory and chaotic, but Bettis gives Mandy an exhausted, fed-up quality that keeps ...

 Tu 6/9/26 720am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 820am (4-B: Durban Poison). 10am (4-B: Cat Piss). 1220pm (GB: 6/Cat Piss). 540pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 835pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss).  Up 620am: Cloudy & very humid with temps to about 90. Just over 2 inches fell yesterday after 6pm. The short rain gauge is now in the planter on the front stoop where it should have been all along.  ***Cat Piss and Durban Poison are my favorite Sativas and I really can't judge which one is stronger. One of these days I'll have to try an Indica.  No further activity next door although the porch light is now 'on'. I've got to address the bushes & lawn, but today is far too humid and hot. The Agnes Fenner appointment is weighing heavily even though the anxiety is without cause.    Watched 'ANTHROPOID' (Netflix). An enjoyable drama about the assassination of Freydrick Reinhard Heydrich, the top Nazi leader in Czechoslovakia; Code Name-"Anthropoid" {the word means 'like a human...

A 'Flood Watch' is in effect until early tomorrow morning. 930am: No rain yet (10am huge downpour), but the radar map shows bright orange and red for late morning. It doesn't look good. {No violent storms; just a lot of water. Over two inches and I moved the old rain gauge to the planter on the from stoop. It should have been here all along}. ***At 6am I heard a lugger being delivered to the abandoned house next door. The driver must have ripped down a tree branch and it's still hanging from the tree over their driveway. Later a pickup & trailer in the driveway and front door propped open. Change is coming. Watched 'FALL FOR ...

Weekly Cleaning Watched 'STATE OF FEAR' (Netflix). I can't believe that I randomly selected this film. It is a spin off of the series that I'm watching, 'IN THE MUD' (Netflix). Based on a true incident: In May 2006 the PCC completely shut down the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil for several days. Over the course of the rebellion more than 300 attacks across the metropolitan area; banks, metro stations, police infrastructure. Shopping malls, office towers, schools, all shut down. 500 people were killed. The series is set in Argentina, but the movie is set in Sao Paulo, Brazil. They were 'expanding the brand' of the smash hit Argentinian series. FUN FA...
