I am guessing these people have seen very, very few film versions of Biblical stories! LOL!PARAMOUNT and ARONOFSKY would have had less objections had they named the film after the original, original story of Noah, THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH, which is the ancient Sumerian story upon which the biblical Noah is actually based.I had a friend named Bart LaRue who, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, traveled to Turkey to search for the Ark on Mt. Ararat. He didn't find it, but he made a documentary about it, which has been shown on television.DR Druxy, yes I believe that I have seen the documentary, which was something I looked forward to on The Late Late Show. I liked Bart LaRue. He had a very good voice and I think he made a couple of appearances on the original "Star Trek" series.

Today, expecting rain which we didn't get, my hiking group went on a 3 mile walk on a stretch of the walking/bike path. This area is known to be filled with litter Since the kind people in my group tend to pick up litter wherever we go we all were reminded to take plastic bags with us. I was grateful for the woman who handed out a surgical clove to each of us. For the first half of the walk we were up and down collecting trash, some of which some climbing into bushes was necessary. We then left the bags at the turnaround point to be collected by a couple who walked with us.I think I would have had an easier workout at the gym
THE TRUE frizzled shalit:
Tomorrow night, I will be attending a performance of the touring company of The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
the show was Moses and the score was meh but the sets and showmanship were wonderful
