Up 745am: Overcast and rain forecast for later this afternoon- damp mid 50's.

Watched 'THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO SEVEN' (Netflix). Star-studded cast with a light touch of humor. I didn't know that the former Attorney General of the United States was called as a witness for the defense. He testified (without the jury present) that the previous administration had determined that there was no conspiracy between the members of The Chicago Seven. The judge ruled that this evidence was inadmissible; with Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Frank Langella; Aaron Sorkin directed and wrote the screenplay.

Noon: Preparing for a walk before the rain. 1210pm: Parkview, Wash. Pk. southside, panhandle across McA, and back northside of park, Parkview, Greenview, and up to 940...An Hour and 15"...Mp3- Bill FRISELL, BLUE CHEER. 

Home to watch 'HONEYTRAP' (Netflix). A young girl from Trinidad comes to live with her mother in Brixton, London. Mom is aggressively indifferent and the kids at school just use her and she falls in with the wrong bunch. Much better than I thought it would be and a legitimate look at the daily life of a poor teenage girl caught up in a cycle of poverty, abuse, and gang violence;  with Jessica Sula and directed by Rebecca Johnson.

I answered an email from Janny. Jamie is having problems again with blood clotting and blood thinners. They still do not have a cause for the problem. And a female cousin of Joe's died at only 52 and there was an opioid problem and the family seems to be heading for some kind of legal battle over her estate. 

430pm: On the treadmill with Rick Rubin's interviews with Tom Petty's adult daughter and Benmont Tench. Then more of ROGAN/OLIVER STONE.

In the tub with BULLET PARK and listening to 'Wildflowers' ~ TOM PETTY, made it an 'All Petty Evening'~ DAMN THE TORPEDOES '. 

Watched 'RAMPAGE' (Amazon Prime- leaving Oct. 30th). A young man with overly attentive parents begins a killing spree in Tenderville, Oregon to initiate his own form of 'population control' for the rest of us. Violent in the extreme and contains a very anti-establishment message. This film was really good, and leaves 'RAMPAGE: The President Is Down' in the dust; with Brendan Fletcher as 'Bill Williamson'. According to 'General Trivia' there was no script, just a ten page treatment and the movie was entirely improvised.

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).
