First post after seeing "Wonder Woman" at the drive-in!

You should take along an FM radio and some headphones, then you could listen to the movie at the volume level you want.

I actually did that!  At lunch yesterday, I went to Fred Meyer and bought little radio that included headphones.  There was a little bit of hiss throughout tye movie, but I was able to control the volume and it didn't adversely affect my niece.

[TCB]

Smart thinking, George.

[TCB]

Were they also showing DUNKIRK at the drive-in?

[TCB]

Good night, George.

[George]

Were they also showing DUNKIRK at the drive-in?

Yes, but my niece didn't want to see it.  I'd seen that before too, so I didn't mind leaving after "Wonder Woman."

[George]

Good night, George.

Good night, Tom.

Many thanks for yesterday's kind comments and for watching to Jrand, Kevin, Jane, John G and TCB!!!

[FJL]

Continued birthday week wishes to TCB!

[FJL]

More and more vibes for Kristi!

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

And thank you all for those vibes.  She's doing really well and is even going up and down stairs, however slowly and carefully.  Which I personally find amazing, considering they made an incision the size of a C-section!  But they wanted to check everything, and that's what it takes.

[ChasSmith]

Terribly busy day today, and I'll be scarce.  Back later in the day, or tonight, to completely ketchup.  Best Friday vibes to all!

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

The reports I'm getting from San Antonio are not great. Grocery stores are running out of food (yes, even canned sauerkraut, though I think the Doritos went first).

[John G.]

Power outages are occurring before the rain arrives.

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all!

[elmore3003]

I dreamed that Eddie Murphy killed me.  God alone knows why it was Eddie Murphy, but I dreamed that he had flipped out and was on a killing spree in Middletown, OH.  So, I was at the First National Bank building on Central and Main when he showed up, and I took the stairs to the basement, where I hid in an office with Whoopi Goldberg.  After shooting his way though the building, he came to us, spoke a bit to Whoopi and then turned and shot me in the head.

[elmore3003]

I had several other dreams last night, one about the Labor Day concert and revising the overture.  I remember no more about them.

[elmore3003]

DR JohnG, it looks as though all hell will be breaking out in Texas with the hurricane, so be careful on your drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Safe Travel and Hurricane Vibes to our DR JohnG!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[John G.]

Thank you, Elmore.

[elmore3003]

I must step out this morning and pick up September's meds from my pharmacy.  This afternoon, I think I will do laundry and get that out of the way before I start packing for my trip.

Beware of Eddie Murphy out there.
