Up 725 am: Sunny with temps to mid 70's.

Watched, 'THE VANISHING OF SIDNEY HALL' (Kanopy). A high school student evolves into 'A Great Writer' and after a time on top, loses it all. He disappears for years until another 'Great Writer' locates him and almost saves the day; with Logan Lerman, Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler, and Michelle Monaghan.

My post at Kanopy:

"The film is mainly romantic nonsense and not in the least believable. The script suffocates under the most ridiculous cliches about 'Great' writers and the silliest notions of 'True Love'. The only redeeming quality were songs by Dylan, The Pixies, Philip Glass, and I learned that Blake Jenner is NOT related to Caitlyn Jenner. It's not all bad, but close."

Then watched, 'THE RAIN COLLECTOR' (Amazon Prime). A twelve minute short film set in England, 1863 about a woman who measures rainfall when a visitor comes calling. And, when I was in the stores yesterday I was unable to buy a rain gauge.

Then I re-watched and continued with, 'HOMECOMING' (Amazon Prime). Re-watched one and did two more- three remain. This is the type of show to watch many at one sitting.

2 pm: PC is 'Off' and will mow the lawn. Walk later... Mulch much much later.

The mowing and raking lasted from 215-415 pm. Looks nice and I again mowed part of the 'rake the roof'' house's front lawn. The owner (?) over there a couple of nights ago and replaced the porch light that was burned out. 

423 pm: On The Walk. Up Westview and down Parkview to Wash. Pk. Straight south on Wiggins to Leland. Across MacArthur and up South Grand to Walnut. Then east to Henrietta. North to Edwards, west to last street south to Lawrence. Up the hill and over to Fairway and up to 940; A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AND 45"; Listened to TOM WAITS, PRODIGY, THE PIXIES, and THE LIBERTINES. 

The in the tub with 'CLUTTER AND BONE' and MINI MANSIONS and MINUS THE BEAR.

Watched the next episode of, 'JEFFREY EPSTEIN: FILTHY RICH (Netflix).

And then an episode of, 'UNSOLVED MYSTERIES: with Robert Stack' (Amazon Prime). Season 1, Episode 1. A guy kills his wife and makes it look like she fell off a horse and hit her head. He did it for insurance and nine years later he was sentenced to life.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
