 We 3/13/24

755am (2-B). 840am (1-SB). 1235pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B).  

Up 630am: Mostly cloudy with temps to mid 70's. Rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. 

Paid Cards: I have $4,500 remaining in checking and I hope this is enough to pay taxes next Tuesday.

Watched 'I DO NOT CARE IF WE GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS BARBARIANS' (Kanopy). This is a film about the making of a town square recreation of the Odessa Massacre  that occurred  in the Fall of 1941. The film concentrates on the reactions and opinions of the townspeople and actors in the reenactment. Fun Facts: 1) In 1941 Hitler was incensed with the Romanians for their harsh treatment of the Jews. The Nazis hadn't begun to act on their eventual policy of 'Zero Tolerance' and Romanian bloodlust might have emboldened Hitler to implement The Holocaust. 2) After the Germans, the Romanians killed more Jews than any other nation. A great film about 'The Truth' vs. 'Propaganda', especially if 'Truth' runs counter to a positive image of the country even if that image is wrong or untrue. "Domnia Jidanilor si a strainilor Sa Sftrsit" translates as "The reign of the Jews and foreigners is over"...."I was born screaming, covered in someone else's blood and I don't mind dying the same way". 11 wins & 18 nominations. "81" Metascore.

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).
