Mo 6/8/20

Up 650 am: Sunny and temps to 90. Rain predicted for tomorrow.

Added, 'JERRY LACROIX- THE SECOND COMING' to Google Play and the Mp3 player. LaCroix was the lead singer for EDGAR WINTER'S WHITE TRASH BAND and BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS.  

***Finally cleaned the front window; inside and outside.

Watched, 'BERNIE' (Kanopy). An assistant funeral director in the small town of Carthage, TX becomes involved with a wealthy yet unpopular widow. He got to share her opulent lifestyle, but he paid dearly for the privilege.  

My post at Kanopy:

"All of the actors (especially the townspeople) are so achingly earnest and sincere that you completely forget that what they are saying is so ridiculously absurd. One of the funniest townspeople is played by Kay McConaughey who is Matthew McConaughey's mother." 

***1115-1145 am: Walked to the gas station at Chatham and Monroe to fill the lawnmower can. 

Put 'Diamond Dogs'- Bowie, 'The Abbreviated King Crimson- Heartbeat', and 'Sorcerer'- Miles Davis, on the living room PC and Mp3 player. 

1230 pm: Wanted to watch, 'I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO' on Hoopla, but they had reached the daily limit, so I watched the documentary on Prime.  The documentary is a video essay about the radical difference between how blacks and whites view their shared American history. 

From 'General Trivia' at Amazon Prime:

"The film is based on James Baldwin's unfinished manuscript of 30 pages, yet the film 'finishes' this work by incorporating other interviews and writings by Baldwin and expanding on the themes through archival footage." 

330 pm: Wrote 'The Wrap' and sent it out. No time for more reading, so it's out in the streets for the walk.

415 pm: On The Walk. Again I failed to walk to FitClub West to check out the outdoor program...Up Westview, Oakmont, Country Club, Across Chatham and up Asphalt Outer Park to Wiggins. Straight north and over to Bates...Large tree branch completely blocking the street at about Leland...Into the park and down the north side of Williams Blvd. and up the hill by the carillon. Parkview, and down to 940. JUST ABOUT TWO HOURS ONT HE DOT. On the walk I listened to, 'Diamond Dogs'- Bowie, Marc Ribot, King Crimson, Miles- 'Sorcerer'. 

Then in the tub with the reading material from the double DIAMOND DOGS  CD, and listened to Aztec Camera, and '7 months in America live'... BOWIE. 

Watched, 'I AM DIVINE' (Netflix). An interesting biopic of drag queen and character actor, Glenn Milstead- 'Divine'. How could I have lived in Timonium, MD and not be aware of the work of John Waters that was happening right down the road in Towson, MD? The reason is that 'scene' was incredibly tiny, that's why.  

Then two more, 'SCHITT'S CREEK' (Netflix).
