I slept terribly. I not only had to deal with the usual pressure on my hip joint, which I can ordinarily adjust when I lie down, I had to deal with the pressure on the side of my hip where I landed in the fall. Thatch stayed with me all night, but I had a mostly sleepless night with intermittent dozing, I did have a strange dream involving my parents, packing for college, and family craziness, but IU do not remember enough of it now.

Well, you have wondered whether there's gaslighting going on. :)

 Maybe it's possible to feel like you're being gaslighted (or is it gaslit?) into feeling like you're being gaslighted (or is it gaslit?).

Friday, I had my hair cut, and then I went to Cook's Produce Stand where I bought strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and potatoes.

I decided to have lunch at Third Generation and enjoyed baked catfish, a sweet potato, collards and grits.

My supper Friday was two mater sammiches!

Title: Re: APRIL SHOWERS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on April 14, 2024, 06:47:30 AM
Friday was a very strange day in these parts.

We had major winds...sometimes gale force winds...buffeting everything, blowing stuff hither, thither and yon.

It was a sunny day, the breeze felt good when it wasn't blasting you with detritus from the roads and yards as it whipped around and blowing leaves from one yard into another halfway across town.

We had sirens going off around 5 p.m.  The town siren went off first.  I thought there must be a fire somewhere and wondered how the winds would impact that.   Then more sirens sounded, but I couldn't tell if they were fire trucks or police cars or EMT vans.

As it turns out, trees were felled and power lines were knocked down in a section of town.  Yes, those winds were rough and scandalously vicious.  Another issue during the day was that some local folks decided to burn trash in their yards...and fire trucks had to be called out when the fire spread.  Stupid folks in these here parts.

I had a beautiful stand of purple bearded iris beside my house. They withstood most of the blasts through the day, but yesterday morning they were all flattened to the ground.  Lots of azaleas lost their blooms and pink and red petals covered the grounds around town.

The wind played havoc with the golfers at the Masters Tournament in August, as well.

Yesterday, however, calm prevailed.

Last night, I started watching a film I had never seen.

It is "Anna and the King" starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yung-Fat (which sounds like a menu item in a Chinese restaurant).

I recall it got fairly good notices when it came out, but I never felt the urge to watch it.

I am glad I started watching last night, because it's quite beautifully done and the acting is very good. It also had a surprise in the casting of Anna's son Louis.  It was played by Tom Felton before his Draco Malfoy days in the Harry Potter films.  I'm guessing he was 9 or 10 in this film.

It's a long film, so I have only watched about an hour of it.

My cousin Becky, daughter of my cousin Debra, gave birth yesterday.

She was expecting to deliver in early May, but her water broke around 1:30 a.m. yesterday.  She travelled to Piedmont Hospital in Augusta and delivered sometime after 10 a.m.  The baby boy weighed 7.2 pounds and was in good health.  His oxygen was a bit low, so they placed him in NICU.

I haven't heard more since being informed by the very exhausted Debra.

However, Levi Judge Moore is now in the world!  I cannot wait to meet him!

I decided on down and dirty for food - so, Jack in the Box. Breakfast Jack was fine. Then I tried their smash burger - not so hot, IMO, and I'm pretty much done with smash burgers and that craze. Give me a good, old-fashioned burger any day. I ate about two-thirds and quit. Then two of their weird tacos, which were weird but fun.

Leon Fleisher lost the use of his right hand, but still had quite a career. He commissioned many works for the left hand alone.

Somehow during my air travel I lost the two cup-like ear pad things from my AirPods headphones. What a pain. Meant I couldn’t hear anything I watched on the airplane flights home. (If I tried to listen without the covers, I got painful swirling squeaks in both ears.)

Oppenheimer, which I liked the lead performance but found the narrative a bit confusing and jumpy. Been doing some research to find out what liberties were taken with the truth.  All in all, a watchable film.

I was kind of glad to not have to listen to what the closed captions constantly referred to as “eerie music intensifies.”

The Holdovers. Engaging. Solid acting. Just watched the trailer to find the young lead’s voice is deeper than I’d imagined. Kinda mawkish in spots. What I liked is it didn’t hammer me over the head with period detail.
