Tu 8/1/23- Buddy Sick

 Tu 8/1/23

7am (2-B).  755am (1-SB). 1155am (2-B). 525pm (2-B). 750pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: A mix of sun and clouds with temps to mid 80's.

***Buddy was sick last night between 10pm and 2am. He didn't vomit after 2am and seemed fine this morning and ate with his usual appetite.

Watched 'CHILD 44' (Amazon Prime). In Stalin's Soviet Russia a child serial killer has racked up a body count of over forty victims, but the authorities do little or nothing because..."There are no murderers in paradise". When the killer is finally killed the police say he was a 'revenge sleeper agent' left by the Nazis to terrorize and destabilize the local Russian populace. The film was almost top-heavy with acting talent and although not as great as it might have been, still well worth a look; with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Noomi Rapace, Joel Kinnaman, and Jason Clarke. Richard Price was a co-writer.  

***I ordered 'THE SECRET SPEECH' by Tom Rob Smith who wrote the novel that the movie was based on; Amazon Books- $3.98.

Finished the first episode of 'BELASCOARAN' (Netflix). More sizzle than steak but an interesting presentation. Each episode highlights a different crime and I might try something else tonight and keep the rest of this collection for later.

1205pm:  To Washington Park...Fairway,  Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  across panhandle,  Dial,  Cherry,  Lincoln,  Outer Park,  Wiggins,  Wash.Pk southside, up the hill,  Parkview,  Kenyon,  and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES; LED ZEPPELIN Playlist; TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND Playlist;  more of DUNCAN TRUSSELL on J.R.E. 

Reading 'BUTTERFIELD 8'.

***345pm-415pm: Hispanic middle aged woman & old white male sitting on stoop of Bob & Carol's old house.  Three police cars arrived and a discussion ensued. 

I clipped weeds under the tulip tree and dragged some pine branches to the front.

 435pm:   TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of MARK NORMAND on podcast by long haired guy front 'Flagrant' podcast- an insightful discussion. 

530pm:  In the tub with 'BUTTERFIELD 8' and listening to HUMBLE PIE Playlist.

More of the MARK NORMAND interview

Began 'SOMEBODY' (Netflix). I watched the first episode and this could be a doozy or a dud.  It appears to be about a female Korean programmer with Asperger's who hooks up with a sociopathic serial killer. Definitely in for round #2.
