I really enjoy this movie and am watching it again at this very moment. If I remember correctly, it's the last movie I saw in a theater before Covid shut everything down. And if you're wondering, the next movie in a theater was Black Widow from a couple of weeks ago.  I think one of the reasons It horoighly enjoy this film is because none of the characters make around decisions. Usually in adventure/horror films the characters are running around making every dumb decision the writers and director can imagine. Here, they're not.  Have you seen it? What did you think? https://youtu.be/jCFWEzIVILc

With an hour to kill between appointmen😆😃 decided to stop and grab a quick bite 😀to eat at a fast food joint. I won't mention the name of the place, but they serve tacos and their name doesn't start with "T".  One of the things I enjoy the most is the fries they serve. Thy are crinkle cut 😆😃⬇️, which is good for texture (for those of us who like texture in our foods), thick enough to be sturdy for holding ketchup and long enough that you can usually get a couple of bites out of one fry.  Not wanting anything more than a order of fries and an soda, I decided to stop and eat. Inside, there was a woman and an older man seated at one of the tables with computers and spreadsheets out around them. I assumed the woman to be the General Manager of this particular location and the man as maybe a district manager.  I went to the counter, ordered a medium fries, their mocha coffee thing and a breakfast wrap. The order took a minute to get to me and when she set the fries on...

Driving down the road about 30 minutes ago and I see what looks like a cellphone in the middle of a fairly busy intersection where two two-lane roads meet.  I pull to the side, park and walk over to the intersection before hopping out and picking it up before the next wave of traffic cones through.  Not only if it s cellphone but it's one of those book  style cases where the phone is on one side with slots for credit cards, ID, etc. on the other.  In there was a driver's license, a credit/debit card, Costco card and more. In the past, before "smart" phones I'd dial 611 from a found phone and get in touch with the carrier who would then contact the owner for me  But this girl was smart, she had a PIN lock on her phone.  So, I decided to take the phone to the local police department hoping they could get it back to her.  After delivering the phone to a Community Services officer it occurred to me that I had this girl's address and could have delivered it...

Let me apologize for my inactivity. I've been extremely exhausted these past 10 days or so and haven't been capable of stringing a coherent sentence together. Luckily, today's post is mostly just an image. This was caught this moening by accident and I thought it was interesting enough to share. A screen capture by accident:

In a other day and age societies would have shunned people carrying a disease or who were otherwise a danger (or burden) on the village. Should we exclude anti-vaxxers from society because they're idiots? Well, if we did that we'd have to exclude the MAGA-hat wearing morons as well. And possibly home schoolers, but that's another discussion. Personally, I'm for excluding people who don't take the implied social contract seriously, but where do we stop? As with anything, once you take that first step you're on a dark path where you're moving from excluding anti-vaxxers to  excluding a specific religion or race. Tribalism is great when you're a part if the dominant tribe, but it's not so great when you're the minority and shouldn't be tolerated. This is America, the Land of the Free. That freedom, however, doesn’t mean “I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.” When we choose to live in a society, there are certain obligations—both moral a...

Imagine for a moment the devastation that would have erupted had this hit a populated area, or even an area of the ocean. The tidal wave alone would have wiped out coastal communities. According to NASA, that  meteor  weighed about 1,500 tons (1,360 metric tons), had a diameter of about 32 feet (10 meters), and was traveling through the atmosphere at about 71,582 mph (115,200 kilometers per hour) when it exploded. The blast occurred about 15.5 miles (25 km) over the ocean and erupted with an energy equivalent to 173 kilotons of TNT — roughly 10 times the energy of the  atomic bomb that the United States detonated over Hiroshima  during World War II. https://www.livescience.com/65022-sneaky-meteor-evades-detection.html

I know I harp on #DonaldTrump quite a bit, but the modern #GOP as a whole is working to systematically dismantle what makes the USA the USA and historians will judge them harshly. From Mitch McConnell denying President Obama his Constitutional right to sit a Supreme Court Justice, to the political hacks known as Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanagh, the modern Republican party is routinely putting party and agenda over the people of the USA. One can only imagine their caucus meeting being something like this: GOP Senator 1: Let's burn the world. GOP Senator 2: Cool, the fire will be pretty. GOP Senator 3: This sounds awesome, I'll bring the marshmallows. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/03/senate-confirms-dangerous-religious-extremist-allison-rushing-as-federal-judge/ … in 2005 Rushing penned an article for Engage, The Federalist Society’s journal, entitled “Nothing to Stand On: ‘Offended Observers’ and the Ten Commandmen...

You know, when I call #DonaldTrump a global idiot, I truly mean he's an idiot on a global scale. I mean, I guess he could have dementia or so ething, but he says he doesn't and he's the smarterest of the smarties - a genius! - and Bo one could ever be as smarterer as him. https://gizmodo.com/president-trump-praises-his-good-friend-tim-apple-1833108410

The Blogger mobile app is atrocious. Just a few moments ago I tried to create a post with a photo from my mobile device (Android) and the photo wouldn't attach to the post. This prevented the post from, well, posting.

I just tried creating a Blogger post using the mobile app but it failed to actually post. If Google is going to be killing Google+ in the next year, the least they could do is make the Blogger app function. So, here's a test post and afterwards, I'll try listing one with an a image attached. Maybe it was the image that prevented the other post from publishing.
