 Mo 9/13/21

9am. 1245pm. 915pm. 

Up 730am: Mostly sunny with temps to about 90.

I wrote up 'MIDNIGHT' by Dean Koontz for the blog.

Watched 'PALE RIDER' (Tubi).  A mysterious stranger defends a mining camp against a corrupt land baron and his crew. Eastwood just about invented the genre and nobody does it better; with Clint Eastwood, Michael Moriarty, Carrie Snodgress, Chris Penn, and John Russell. The beautiful location was one of the best elements of the movie and it was filmed at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in central Idaho.

***I noticed a post on Nextdoor concerning...."Like minded patriots in Southern View who want to do something about... the bla-fucking-bla..."

1220pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an early walk.

1255pm: Oakmont, Country Club, Laurel, Outer Park, Lowell, Walnut, Wash. Pk., up the hill, Fairway, and up to 940... 2 HOURS...Mp3...'Squirrel Bait ', 'Spike', 'Spooky Two'.

Read MCCARTHY on the couch.

***Downloaded a major Samsung update for the phone...473 individual issues, but went OK and took about 5 mins.

550pm: On the treadmill...2 MILES AT 3.6 PACE and more of TOM SEGURA on J.R.E.

In the tub with 'NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN ' and listening to OTIS RUSH, ALLEN TOUSSAINT,  LESLIE WEST, and finished reading the McCarthy novel.

Began disc 3 of 'JOHN ADAMS' (Netflix). It reminds you how much 'time' played in the unfolding events during the early years of the American nation. Crucial government dispatches from Europe would take weeks to reach America and any correspondence within the states would take days. I guess it would provide more time to avoid rash policy actions, but nearly impossible to stop bad actions that have been implemented.

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...
