Sa 6/25/22- Mowed lawn

725am (2). 950am (1). 1120am (1). 445pm (2 hits pre-roll). 705pm (1). 

Up 530am: Mostly cloudy with temps to about 90 with a strong chance of rain early this evening.

Watered the flowers along the front walk and wrote up 'STILL WATERS' by Tami Hoag for the blog. 

***Downloading a big 'Update' for the phone. I wonder what will change...and later;  nothing that I can tell and I was just happy to get the phone back without any negatives. 

Watched 'HUSTLE' (Netflix). A scout for the Philadelphia 76'ers travels to Spain and discovers a 22 year old kid who plays the game on a completely different level. Although many NBA players were featured in the film, most of the basketball action was shot on city courts in front of an inner city audience. I liked this one a whole lot more than I thought I would; with Adam Sandler, Queen Latifah, Juancho Hernangomez (as Bo Cruz), and Ben Foster. 

Finished 'WHO WE ARE: 'A Chronicle of Racism In America' (Netflix). 

1125am: Parkview, Country Club, Laurel, Outer Park, Park, Wash.Pk. panhandle, northside, up the hill, Parkview, Kenyon, and down to 940...TWO HOURS...Mp3...'Live ALLMAN BROTHERS'; Live DEREK & THE DOMINOS.

Finished 'VALIS'- P.K. DICK and then more of 'A THIN DARK LINE' by TAMI HOAG. 

***330pm-405pm: Mowed front lawn(s) and half the back. Behind the Virgin Mary it wasn't tall enough to make it worthwhile to push the mower over it. The guy next door was watering his plants. We waved.

450pm: In the tub with HOAG and listening to HERBIE HANCOCK;  HORACE SILVER; 'Dirty Mind'- PRINCE. 

Watched 'A FILM UNFINISHED' (Tubi-TV). The film is German propaganda footage of the Warsaw Ghetto during the winter and spring of 1942-1943. This was a random collection of cityscape scenes by the Nazis cinematographers that was never officially edited but it seemed to demonstrate the differences between the Jews in Warsaw. Some existed in extreme poverty and literally were dropping dead on the streets and scenes of other Jews sipping champagne and living the high life until the money ran out.  Almost 500,000 people lived 1.3 square miles and nearly all of the 'actors' eventually ended up in the Treblinka concentration camp. 

***Huge thunderstorm blew through about 845pm (and more on the way). I stood on the breezeway and watched the extreme lightning and thunder- very impressive. Scattered thunderstorms continue till about 1am and some could be severe.  I hope there will be no problems with CWLP and i3 Broadband tomorrow morning.

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...
