 Th 11/9/23- Buddy Sick/ Raked Lawn

745am (2-B).  930am (1-SB). 1215pm (1-B). 255pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to the upper 50's.

*** Buddy threw up his 4am snack in the living room and kitchen. He seems fine this morning and his appetite is in high gear. 

I wrote up 'SLEEPLESS' by Romy Hausmann and 'SLEEP NO MORE' by Greg Iles for the blog.

Watched 'LOCKED IN' (Netflix). An unprincipled doctor simultaneously has an affair with an heiress and her mother-in-law in the family mansion. He cares nothing for either of them and he's only after the money. However, the 'big picture' is not revealed until very late in the tale. Dizzying and shifting perspectives, flashbacks, and histrionic flourishes make for a slightly better than average presentation. 

Finished ''THE BILLIONAIRE, THE BUTLER AND THE BOYFRIEND' (Netflix). The daughter (and her legal team!) fended off all other claims and now she is the world's richest woman. I wonder how they figure 'the world's richest people'? I'll bet there are richer women in Saudi Arabia and foreign nobility.  What was the last Queen of England worth?

Watched part of a drumming video with Tommy Aldridge- drummer Black Oak Arkansas/ Ozzy Osbourne. 

***Noon: 'RAKE RANT': Not a cloud in the sky and no wind, so I guess it's time to tackle the raking, but it's really more about putting leaves in sausage shaped bags that are prone to tear apart. 'Bagging' is the most difficult & frustrating part of the operation. And then the fragile bags are left out in the street through all kinds of weather. 

1220pm- 220pm: Eight leaf bags on the street near the fire hydrant and not nearly as irritating as I thought, but close.   

305pm- 435pm: Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Leland,  Dial Court, Douglas,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940; ELVIS COSTELLO- 'Imperial Bedroom'; PETE TOWNSHEND- 'The Empty Glass'; a journalist on J.R.E. 

***Buddy was sick on the living room chair in the corner. He seems fine, but I had hoped we were done with this.  

Began 'THE BLACK BOOK by Ian RANKIN 

550pm: In the tub with 'THE BLACK BOOK' and listening to TOM PETTY & The Heartbreakers; BOB MARLY- 'Catch Fire'; BUNNY WAILER- 'Blackheart Man'; SPENCER DAVIS GROUP- 2nd album.

Began JOEY DIAZ on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'.

Watched a short interview with Bunny Wailer on the BBC

Began 'FERRY: The Series' (Netflix). Finished episode #1. This is season 2 but Netflix has the movie but not season 1. Ferry Bouman is an overweight Dutch criminal that deals Ecstasy and flounders in professional and personal problems. This is the Dutch 'Breaking Bad'- I'll bet that's been said 20 million times before.
