Fr 8/16/19- TREE TRIMMING CONTINUES/ENDS
Up 645am; cloudy, temps to around 80. Rain in the forecast for the weekend beginning early tomorrow morning. Two Nelson trucks pulled up at 735am, and then they vanished at 8am and reappeared at 830am and slowly eased into it. Broke for lunch around 11am.
Watched Netflix disc, 'THE LITTLE STRANGER' A young doctor ingratiates himself into an upper class Irish family who live in the decrepit and crumbling- 'HUNDRED YEARS HOUSE'. The film effortlessly blends elements of the supernatural, class consciousness, mystery, and even a love story; with Charlotte Rampling.
Then I picked a Mongolian (sub-titled) film because of the noise of the chipper. 'THE GLADIOLUS' (Amazon Prime) "Well-educated private school principal accidentally murders her daughter's not so good boyfriend and about-to-retire detective risks his career to help her get away with the murder." Not that good of a film (I was nodding off) and I had a hard time believing that the detective would cover up the murder even though he thought the woman had acted in self defense.
130pm: Bike to Wabash PO/ Planet Fitness. Tired- should have slept longer.
Before I left I inspected the trimming and talked to one of the guys. He said that they monitor the situation and they will probably be back in six to seven years. If I had paid, it would have been close to a grand, but he said that most tree trimmers wouldn't (couldn't?) do it because they need a license to cut around power lines. At 130pm the cutting was done and they were just hauling the limbs to the chipper and raking the area. When I got back from the workout, I was floored! They actually left the backyard in better shape then when they arrived, and I could find no fault with the way the limbs were cut. It made a vast improvement.
45" Walk (THE NAKED DIRECTOR- the first in a Netflix series about the Godfather of The Japanese Porn Industry). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'SELLING OUT'/ Amazon Music). 45" Cross (THE NAKED DIRECTOR). 30" Bike (very tired, so I didn't do the second 'walk'/ Watched TV). 30" Cross (TV).
Home to marvel at the backyard, then downstairs to read and listen to 'THE HOWLING WIND'. In the tub and finished 'SELLING OUT' and listened to a two disc set of LIVE STEVE WINWOOD (Amazon Music).
'THE ONION PRESENTS ICONIC IMAGES OF ELECTION 2016' (Amazon Prime), a coarse and shallow critique of 'Trumpism' and the social climate of the time. And another, 'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM'- "What is a baptism"?
