Well, you've read the notes, the notes stretched and had a goal, and now it is time for you to post until the stretched cows come home.

Good morning, all!

Another night of strange dreams. I remember none of them now.

My brother Randy called last night and we talked for about an hour. No property news, but there seems to be the start of some construction activity in the area, so we'll see.

None of my cats are bothered by thunder, fireworks, etc. Randy's German shepherd Maddie, who died about five years ago, was terrified by loud noises, and Randy and Jo had set up a bed with lots of blankets and sorta soundproofing in one of the closets for her to hide.

Last night I watched half of Carry On Cleo, which is really a hoot: utterly ridiculous, historically inaccurate, and bawdy, getting a few kicks in at Shakespeare and the Liz Taylor epic. Kenneth Williams is complete camp as Julius Caesar, yelling after an assassination attempt "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!" Joan Sims, whom I loved as Madge in Judi Dench's series As Time Passes By, is her usual Carry On harridan as Caesar's wife Calpurnia. My close personal friend Jim Dale is so young and skinny as a British slave/

This one's as good as their Hammer horror parody Carry On Screaming.

Miss Annabelle is impatient about this morning's patrol!

Annabelle had a wonderful time on patrol. The elevator is now her favorite place to lounge.

I just heard that Jeffrey Epstein has killed himself. It's possible that the unsealing of evidence was the catalyst, but I also woud not be surprised to learn he was murdered by some of his former sex trafficking chums.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 10, 2019, 06:26:51 AM »

I hope to have a quiet weekend doing as little as possible. It's time to make the bed.

George · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2019, 06:30:44 AM »

Well, that was a nice nap.

I fell asleep on my bed with the lights and my TV on (the sound was off, though), and just as I woke up and was about to turn off the TV, there was a breaking news report that Accused sex trafficker and wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein found dead by suicide in Manhattan jail.

George · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2019, 06:31:28 AM »

Good morning, Larry.

George · « **Reply #19 on:** August 10, 2019, 06:38:34 AM »

Well, I'm going to go back to bed, hopefully to sleep a few more hours. Around noon, my family is getting together for our family dinner.

Have a good day, all!

TOD:

I don’t see enough new works, but I kinda like some of Tracy Letts’s plays.

John G. · « **Reply #22 on:** August 10, 2019, 07:02:22 AM »

The news on Epstein is not surprising. If anything, it’s too bland. The cockeyed moral seems to be: Commit all the crimes you want, the more heinous the better. When the fun part ends, there’s an easy way out.

I want to listen to the new audio, BK, but I have 10+ hours of Robert Moses bio to listen to first.

John G. · « **Reply #24 on:** August 10, 2019, 07:04:06 AM »

Off to face the day.

JohnG- And yet if it weren't for the MeToo movement, no one would have focused on how lenient the deal the prosecutors had originally made with him. There are some who likely thought they were scot-free, but the MeToo movement caused scrutiny. Charlie Rose is an example of this.

BK- Isn't "shivaree" what they gave Curly and Laurey after they got married. I forget whether it was before or after Curly shot Jud daid in cold blood (that's a spoiler for the current Broadway Oklahoma revival.

)

Good morning, all.

It’s a Saturday, and a refreshing one at that. We had the most beautiful day and evening yesterday, weather-wise, and the night was perfect for sleeping with no AC or even a fan running in the house. This morning almost has that first day of fall feeling, the temperature will top out at 77 or 78 today, and tonight will be another perfect one. Then it warms back up a little, which is fine, but there’s nothing like having a break from the heat and humidity.

Good. Any kind of activity in the area has to be a positive thing.
