 Fr 5/30/25- Brandenburgs: 6pm- 'Schlitz Park'/ Grocery Shopping

715am (1-LB: Guavadew). 8am (1 hit-B: Purple Punch). 955am (1/2-LB: Purple Punch). 12pm (1-LB: Guavadew). 830pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). Scoured the bong....920am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 

Up 615am: Mostly sunny & breezy with temps to about 80.

Watched 'THE LOOK OF SILENCE' (Netflix). In 1965 there was a military coup in Indonesia and one million 'suspected communists' were killed. The army made it appear that it was 'a people's uprising', but it was really just state sanctioned genocide implemented by the army... "It was the Americans who taught us to hate the communists and to love democracy". The documentary is about an optometrist who visits local villages and quizzes the elderly about their thoughts and observations about  'the revolution'. His brother was killed and the optometrist wants to know what made neighbors turn so vicious. The executioners believed that if they drank a glass of their victim's blood it would keep them from going crazy (from the guilt?). It's a low budget documentary that offers a stunning and harrowing look at how easy it is to turn a population against themselves. "We are the Good People, and they are the Bad People and they have no religion"... "Don't bring up the past. It only upsets people...An actual quote: "Why can't we live in harmony like the military dictatorship taught us". Nominated for 1 Oscar; 48 wins; 45 nominations. "92" Metascore and that's about where I'd put it.

Finished 'IC814: The Kandahar Hijack' (Netflix). Some officials did not want to negotiate with the hijackers because if they met their demands and jailed terrorists were released, more innocent people could be killed. Freed terrorists might kill far more people than were on the hijacked plane. Besides, people die for their country. Soldiers do it all the time. A reason for continuing the negotiations to release the passengers: "Think one hundred times before you take a life and don't think twice before you save a life".  

I called ATT Benefits and got the Health Reimbursement Account to send more blank forms so that I can make a claim. 

1140am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the grocery shopping, go back home to put away the food, then get a car wash, visit Esporta and then go directly to the ball field to meet The Brandenburgs. 

1210pm: [$20]To County Market

130pm: car wash & some stoned tattoo talk/ Esporta...45"Precor, 45"Treadmill,  30"Cross,  30"Recumbent Bike,  30"Precor;  watched 'UNTOLD: Shooting Guards' (Netflix)- NBA players pull guns in the locker room.  Later one of them shoots a female bystander and only gets 10 years; a 'BLACK MIRROR' (Netflix)- Paul Giamatti is asked to compose a eulogy from memories of an old lover. 

Home 515pm and had some trail mix and read and at the ball field about ten till. Janny brought 3 books for me and we talked and didn't watch the game. Home before 8pm.

***For a change of pace, I'm upstairs tonight (chilled from the baseball experience). This is the first time (in years) that I'd ever considered having more than two beers. I managed to 'Just Say No', but I guess it is absolutely true that you are most susceptible to excess when you are tired & hungry and that was me to a 'T'. 

Began 'DEADWIND' (Netflix)- I had seen seasons 1 & 2 and this is the third. The series is shot in Finland and I shut it down 13 minutes into episode #2.

***6pm Friday, May 30 The Brandenburgs at the baseball field off of Parkview!!!

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...
