I can't listen to this. It breaks my heart and I start weeping and mourning her. I never knew she performed this and it tears me to pieces:

Good morning, all.

A rainy, stormy Friday. But I need to spend time on indoors stuff anyway. It’s supposed to turn nice for a while starting this evening or tomorrow.

I pulled another late nighter puttering around, and am paying for it right now. Got to avoid doing this. If I had something I needed to go out and do, I’d be hurting.

More coffee!

I will steel myself and follow these Rebecca Luker links now.

Nice links with the same results here in these parts.

Nice weather is predicted which is a change from yesterday.

I just saw that. My dad was a huge Tony Bennett fan, and actually got to see him perform live here in Olympia.

I think I'm going to miss Tony Bennett being alive in the world. So many things I was "used to" have gone, and his continued presence was reassuring.

Truth be told, I am more of a Jeannette than a Tony, but as many of you know, that means i prefer the song "San Francisco" as sung by Jeannette MacDonald in the film of the same name to Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".

I don't hate Bennett's song at all, but prefer the more upbeat song to the romantic ballad.

Better break just one leg, Jack. You need to be able to move around afterward. And don't throw a hat on any beds.

We had a huge storm last night. Pictures on FB show some damage around my small town, including a tree in front of the parsonage of the Johnston First Baptist Church, The tree broke in half...for the second time in the last five years due to high winds.

Given that, I would put ties on such a tree until it was strong enough to withstand the occasional wretched storm.

But, it's not my tree. I can mourn its loss from a distance.

Weddings are really out of control, IMO. The so-called "traditional" touches that folks pay major bucks for really aren't all that traditional.

Same for funerals, sorry to say.

I have absolutely no idea how we managed to get to another Friday so quickly.

And I have zilch motivation to do anything to compensate for the nada I accomplished most of the week.

Another week bites the dust.

Folks on FB are all atwitter and atweet about "Oppenheimer". Some are moaning over its announced length, others are complaining that they don't know what people mean when they say the movie is very long.

To me, it means that it's three hours, as advertised, but that it is intense and can tax a person intellectually, emotionally and physiologically. That tells me there is a lot of content and much of it is disturbing. That can take a lot out of a person.

"Schindler's List" is such a movie, but I would not be the person I am today had I never seen it. Movies change me, some in minor ways, but others in major ways.

Apparently, "Oppenheimer" will be an IMAX experience where such showings are available.

I guess it's time to wrap up my random thoughts.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #57 on:** July 21, 2023, 08:15:02 AM »

I hadn't planned on saying more than good morning and giving you a weather update for Johnston (in case you would be driving through today).

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #58 on:** July 21, 2023, 08:15:52 AM »

It's going to be sunny with highs in the low 90s.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #59 on:** July 21, 2023, 08:16:12 AM »

We expect some winds of about 17 mph.
