 Sa 12/2/23

710am (2-B). 815am (1-SB). 1250pm (2-B). 225pm (2-B).  545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

 Up 6am: Overcast & temps to low 40's with more rain predicted for tonight.

***In The Mail: New rice cooker that is exactly like the one I have been using ('Aroma' rice cooker: $20 @ Amazon) and my new insurance card with United Healthcare.

Watched 'Illegal Woman' (Netflix). A gripping drama about the CENTROS DE INTERNAMIENTO DE EXTRANJEROS {CIE} which is the Spanish governmental agency that handles migrant detention and deportation.  An immigration lawyer with a dying wife (he 'assists' in her euthanasia) fights the inhumane policies of CIE and strives to keep poor people from being deported to their home countries. He helps a young Nigerian woman to leave Spain and get status in England. Here in the US we think of immigration mainly as a problem with our southern border with Mexico, but actually the problem of immigration is an international issue. Western Europe probably has many more immigrants trying to secure asylum due to the unraveling political situation in the Eastern Hemisphere. An Agitprop film and well worth a look.

Finished 'CRIMINAL CODE' (Netflix). The female cop separates (amicably) from her husband and in the final scene the two 'partners' share a couple of frosties in a Spanish bar. Based on a true story about a legendary armed robbery that occurred in the city of Ciudad del Este, Paraguay in 2017. Fifty heavily armed bandits attacked a leading private security company and stole between $11.7 and $44 million. It began with a diversionary attack on the local police station and numerous vehicles were burned to block access to the area. 

Began 'PARANOID' (Netflix). The series is set in the fictional English village of Woodmere that is located in the real county of Cheshire. This county is in northwest England near Liverpool and Manchester. I have apparently started this series sometime in the past, but I don't remember a thing and I will definitely give this one another chance. 

1225pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the treadmill and then the weights. 

1250pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; More of 'PARANOID' (Netflix).

Reading 'DEMON COPPERHEAD'

450pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began STAVVY'S WORLD with JOE LIST & BOBBY KENNEDY. 

550pm: In the tub with 'DEMON COPPERHEAD' and listening to TOM PETTY & The Heartbreakers- 'Best of'; KINKS- 'Early Playlist'; EDDIE HAZEL Playlist.  

More of 'Stavvy's World' with JOE LIST & BOBBY KENNEDY.

More 'PARANOID' (Netflix). I shut it down 32 minutes into episode #4. I wonder why I didn't finish this series the first time. I'm definitely going to see it through this time around. It's set in the same area of England as 'DOWNTON ABBEY'.

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...
