 Th 4/22/21

1005am. 110pm- (a pinch). 3pm-(a pinch more). 920pm. 

Up 8am: Sunny with temps to the upper 50's.

I wrote up 'GIRLS LIKE US' by Sheila Weller for the blog.

Watched 'MR. JONES' (Kanopy). Based on a young Welsh journalist named Gareth Jones who was the first person to expose Stalin's plan to end private farming and usher in agricultural collectives. The result of this brutal economic transition was 'The Great Famine' (Holodomor) from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. The famine affected the major grain-producing areas of the country, but the majority were ethnic Ukrainians. The Holodomor is recognized as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet government; with James Norton and Peter Sarsgaard.

Then watched the last hour of 'GRASS IS GREENER' (Netflix). Cannabis Decriminalization: California (1975), Oregon (1973), Colorado (1975), Nebraska (1978), Texas (1973), Louisiana (1973), Ohio (1975), Maine (1975). I will have to check out these statistics. Decriminalized in Texas since 1973???

310pm: Parkview, northside of Wash. Pk., Walnut, Leland, Park, Outer Park, Cherry, North on Wiggins, into Wash. Pk. the road south side of the park, Parkview, Fairway and up to 940...2 HOURS.. MP3.. 'Low Country Blues ~ GREG ALLMAN,' Eli And The 13th Confession'~ LARA NYRO, 'Elephant' ~ THE WHITE STRIPES. 

Received 'Then It Fell Apart' ~ Moby from Amazon and read it in the living room.

645pm: In the tub with 'CITIZEN COHEN' and listening TO THE ARCHERS OF LOAF, ART BLAKEY. 

Watched 'STRANGE BUT TRUE' (Netflix). This selection was primarily because of Amy Ryan's performance in 'JACK GOES BOATING' from yesterday.  Five years after her boyfriend has died, a young woman claims that he is the father of her unborn child. Actually she was 'roofied' and raped by the husband of the couple who had been like a mother and father to her. A wild and wicked ride, and somewhat of a positive message; with Nick Robinson, Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear, Brian Cox, Margaret Qualley, and Blythe Danner.
