 Su 11/12/23

745am (2-B). 9am (1-SB). 1150am (2-B). 450pm (2-B). 710pm (2-B). 

Up 615am: Mostly sunny with temps to about 60.

Weekly Cleaning/ Mopping

Watched 'THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS' (Tubi). It's 1757 and the Adirondack region of New York is at war. The French, British, Indians, and settlers clash over who will rule the land. The film offers a realistic recreation of The French & Indian Wars. Apparently, the characters and some of the story are based on real events;  with Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Jodhi May, and Wes Studi. Directed by Michael Mann from a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. "76" Metascore; One Oscar, 7 wins & 17 nominations. Filmed in North Carolina.

1110am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hit Planet Fitness this afternoon. Note To Self: Buy Natural Light and Friskies on the way home.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

1205pm: To Planet 

Fitness...45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross; began 'EXPOSED: THE GHOST TRAIN FIRE' (Netflix)- In 1979 there was a deadly fire at the Sydney,  Australia Luna Park amusement park. The authorities claim it was an electrical fire, but it's much more likely that it was arson. Why the coverup?

***30 pack Natural Light & case of Friskies pate:  $40 at Schnucks. 

Reading 'THE BLACK BOOK'

{For some reason I lost an hour and I'm running about 60 minutes ahead of schedule...For no apparent reason}

455pm:  In the tub with 'THE BLACK BOOK' and listening to JEFF BECK GROUP- 'Rough & Ready'; TRAFFIC- 'Gold'.

Finished JOE LIST on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?' 

Finished 'EXPOSED: THE GHOST TRAIN FIRE' (Netflix). The Sydney mob boss, Abe Saffron was behind the fire and he was only interested in getting control of the property to make his own amusement park. Prime real estate right on the harbor that could be used for condos and I'm surprised that the amusement park is still there. But it's not 'mob owned'. (According to Wikipedia the Luna Park amusement park is one of the few in the world that is a 'government protected historical site') Suggestion to Abe: Why didn't he start the fire when the park was closed? Nobody would have died and he was so well connected that he would have gotten away with it without any negative publicity.  

Began a 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK' blot up some of this extra time.

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...

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...
