Beautiful, Breathtaking, Woodbridge Road

"Feed the birds in winter; in return, they will feed your soul with the look of gratitude."

~Mehmet Murat ildan

Beautiful, breathtaking, Woodbridge road. There is so much beauty to be found there, no matter what season it happens to be. I think of all the places we do our birding, Woodbridge is my favorite, although, Desmond road is a close second! Moments like this, ethereal and calming, revives me!

More from Thursday's trip down Woodbridge road to come!

Season 3: Episode 20

 'Jose Chung's: From Outer Space'

Well, we could put Mulder and Scully on the case, but, you see, they were fired last year when Elon Musk was wielding his chainsaw, and Kash Patel was firing the FBI's finest. Fear not, Mulder and Scully will always have our backs, despite whatever X-file wins the presidency. 

The Truth Is Still Out There.

Bulletin Of The Atomic Scientists

Congratulations, MAGA, the man you voted for, the man who said no more wars, is now a full on warmonger! Your tax dollars well spent. Killing people, you don't know in the name of peace, and Trump's next justification for perhaps winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Are enjoying this time with Trump, an obviously psychotic tinpot dictator? 

One day, when the missiles are about to hit America, remember, YOU made it all happen, because he couldn't have got us all killed without you!

Enjoy

Tyler likes to help. He loves my desk. He loves my chair. And he loves my computer. Simon does too, but it's my pink eared black cat that likes to be helpful in my office. All he wants in the way of salary is snuggles, a supply of catnip fish and tinkle balls, and, of course, nom noms.

 A better assistant I'll never find!

Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... Ocean's 11

 

Danny Ocean (answering the phone)

"Hello, this is a recording. You've dialed the right number; now hang up and don't do it again."

Ocean's 11

(1960)

Ocean's 11 the original. The classic. Is it the best version of the story of Danny Ocean and his cohorts, you bet! But only because most of the time I go with the originals, so to be fair, the George Clooney's, 2001 version, definitely hits the mark! I guess it really depends on mood. Angie Dickinson is wonderful as Danny's wife. But Julia Roberts brought the same class as Dickinson did. Both films were made in different eras, so the updating of the story had to be done, and it was done in 2001 without damaging the original feel.  I am not going to tell you what I thought about the acting in either movie, because perfect is perfect. Right? So, here is my current pick between the two, but by the time the week is over, I might just watch the 2001 version. Shrug. Watch them both, but start with this one.
