 We 11/24/21

925am. 11am (a pinch). 120pm (another pinch). 830pm. 

Up 7am: Cloudy and breezy with temps to upper 50's and rain predicted for tonight.

Wrote up 'FUZZ' by Ed McBain for the blog.

I called Brewer to arrange to get another gel-pen this afternoon.  

Cleaned the bong with gasoline. The secret is to leave tar residue in the bowl to anchor the screen. 

I began 'REASONABLE DOUBT: A Tale of Two Kidnappings' (Netflix). Four separate cases demonstrate the unfairness of the Mexican judicial system. I watched the first case about a traffic accident that turned into a kidnapping case. A man drives into the side of a guy's car. He pulls a gun and shoots the driver of the car that he hit. Later the shooter has his sister say that she was kidnapped by some men. One of them was the guy that he shot and a couple of other guys who were stopped by police near where the fake kidnapping was supposed to have happened.  This group of strangers was treated as a gang and sent to jail and this seems to be a complete travesty of justice. In Tabasco, Mexico judges aren't even present at trial. They base their decisions on a written record that was provided by the police and the district attorney's office at the time of the arrest. Also, the Tabasco Commisioner of Police acknowledged that torture was used because they don't have the technology and manpower so they are forced to employ 'older methods'. The guy actually said this! Even in Mexico, I can't believe that the people would allow this immoral system to continue. Unfortunately, the presumption of innocence is not recognized in many (most?) countries in the world. 

Then I began 'HOW HIGH 2' (Netflix). I turned it off with thirty minutes left to play, but I might not finish it. It's pretty lame. 

I forgot to put out the trash. I think that's the first Wednesday that I've missed in six years. 

I was able to get the Bluetooth to connect on the speaker bar that was attached to the downstairs TV.  

1pm: PC is 'Off' and will head to the credit union for cash to visit the pot shop on Sunday and I want to get a car wash on the way to Planet Fitness. 

140pm: Car wash/Cash- $200/Planet Fitness ...I did all of that but forgot Brewer! 

45" Cross.  45" Bike. 45" Cross. Watched part of an episode of 'IMPOSTERS ' (NETFLIX) and then TIM POOL on J.R.E.

5pm: After Planet Fitness stopped at Brewer to get the gel-pen: $30.

520pm: On my treadmill...TWO MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and finished TIM POOL on J.R.E. and began another J.R.E.

615pm: In the tub with 'PROVINCES OF NIGHT ' and listening to SONNY STITT; MIKE BLOOMFIELD- 'The Gospel Truth '.

Watched 'BAD INFLUENCE' (Amazon Prime). A rich nerd meets a suave hustler who introduces him to violent and immoral impulses that he didn't know were in him. The two leading men, Spader and Lowe,  were interesting characters, but stuck in a script that was not well written and had a ridiculous ending; with Rob Lowe and James Spader.
