 Tu 3/16/21-Taxes: 1pm.

925am. 10pm. 

Up 8am: Overcast and fog early- to mid 50's.

Paid the cards.

***Dax's office called and I made an appointment for 1pm Tues. 4/6

Began a Netflix series 'BEHIND HER EYES', but couldn't get into it, so began 'THE LOST PIRATE KINGDOM' (Netflix). This one wasn't completely bad, but not worth pursuing. And next, I watched the last hour of 'SMALL AXE: MANGROVE' (Amazon Prime). The Mangrove restaurant continued to be harassed for another two decades and the trials continued until a financial settlement was granted, but the police never issued a formal apology.

Watched a German video about QAnon. 

1230 pm: PC is 'Off' and left for the tax office at 1250pm.

No federal tax and $139 to the state and $205 for the return. Next year I will owe $13,000 to the feds. Tax law said I didn't have to withdraw from my Ameriprise account and pay taxes in 2020.

To County Market/Fairhills: $96.

On the treadmill... 4 1/2 Miles~ HENRY ROLLINS on ARI SHAFFIR. Read 'THE WATERWORKS'/napped in the living room.

625pm...ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles and watched more of SARAH SILVERMAN interview at the 92nd street YMCA.

In the tub with DOCTOROW and listening to THE WALKMEN, SMOG, TOKYO POLICE CLUB. 

Watched 'MADE YOU LOOK- A True Story About Fake Art' (Netflix).      "A con artist is not a good speaker, a con artist is a good listener". In Chinese Art it is OK to copy the paintings of famous artists. To painstakingly duplicate a painting is the highest form of flattery both to the artist and the beauty of the painting. This tradition goes back centuries and the Chinese don't seem to have the same concept of 'forgery' as we do. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE- When the facts are wildly out of kilter with reality the majority of people will double-down on what they feel and believe yet refuse to accept what is real.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. 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). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
