We 2/2/22- Super Snow Storm!

 We 2/2/22

805am. 1110am (a pinch). 505pm (2 hits/1 hitter). 750pm. 

Up 6am: We got about 3" by 6am. and it's supposed to ease up  late this afternoon, but heavy snow through the night until Thursday afternoon. The total could be over a foot and a half. Very cold with temps only in the upper teens. (Update: Thursday, 730am.- We got about 2 inches last night and a couple of more expected today. The warnings end at 6pm. today. I think that the two day total should be around a foot).

Watched 'AMANDLA' (Netflix).  A lackluster film about a 'good' brother and a 'bad brother' who grew up in a poor black township in South Africa. Their parents were murdered because three white thugs learned that one of the boys had kissed a white girl. Years later this traumatic incident comes back to haunt the boys. Ho-hum. 

Watched 'JASPER MALL' (Amazon Prime). A profile of a failing shopping mall through the eyes of their maintenance/security guy and the woman who is closing her flower shop after 25 years in the mall. Jasper, AL is 40 miles northwest of Birmingham, AL... Well-shot and makes you kind of sad. 

1pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. I think that later this afternoon I'll shovel snow instead of the two mile walk. 

115pm: FIVE MILES AT 3.9 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and watched more of MARK NORMAND & SAM MORRIL on Skeptic Tank and began ANDREW SCHULZ on J.R.E. 

1 weight set

330pm-415pm: shoveled the driveway & walk. Definitely the most snow that I have ever shoveled on Westview.

Read 'GONE FOR GOOD' for about 20 mins.

 505pm: In the tub with 'GONE FOR GOOD' and listening to THE JEFF BECK GROUP; CACTUS.

Watched part of Shane Gillis and Mark Normand on Skeptic Tank. 

Watched 'PERMANENT' (Amazon Prime). It's the early 80's and an uptight suburban family in Virginia goes through some disconcerting and bewildering changes. Dad needs to learn to swim without his toupee, mom demands more attention from dad, and daughter needs her 'permanent' to relax. The film has its funny moments, but overall it was only somewhat amusing; with Kira McLean, Patricia Arquette, and Rainn Wilson.  From RogerEbert.com:..."Permanent feels like a short film stretched to feature length. It never quite rises above the level of its premise". Filmed near Petersburg and Hopewell, Virginia.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
