Listening to Julie Andrews's first album, "Julie Andrews Sings," (1958) which has just become available for streaming.
I have the first four seasons on Blu-ray, but it looks like seasons 5 and 6 are only available in a 6-season pack, AND seasons 5 and 6 are only on DVD, NOT Blu-ray!
Oh, no! Washington state wildfire threatens homes, farms, gas pipeline.
The day looks to be another hazy, humid day. High around 90. Current temp is 78.Our AQI is 38. A gully washer of a storm passed through here night before last and took a lot of the Canadian smoke out of the air. There was quite a bit of damage among the town's trees as limbs crashed into houses and cars and littered yards. No one was hurt, but property damage was recorded. Happily, no damage in my yard this go-around.We expect moderate thunderstorms this evening.
I watched several episodes of "Fringe" last night. The show is really incredible. Even though the so-called "fringe science" isn't real, it treats it as though it could be. One episode still puzzles me. A shape shifter from a different dimension has orders to kill Olivia Dunham. He uses a small device to do his shifting. A cord on one end is inserted into the mouth of his victim, and a cord on the other side is inserted into his own mouth. A flip of the switch starts the process and he takes on the very image of the person he has just taken down.In the troublesome episode, an FBI agent has confronted this shape shifter who has assumed the form a nurse. He shoots her. The scene cuts away to two other agents running toward where the shots came from. When they arrive, the see the other agent standing over the body of the nurse. They also find the device that the shape shifter uses to shift.The next scene indicates that the nurse was recovering and remembered nothing. The scene shifts to the FBI agent who shot her, and he removes a body from a bin and carries it to a furnace. The body is that of the FBI agent, and we are to assume the carrier is the shape shifter. Since shifting was a one-on-one procedure, I cannot fathom how they managed to get a third person into it. The nurse survived. The real agent is dead. And the shifter is portraying that agent. It's really the first misstep in presenting illogical situations logically. My thoughts are that they felt they needed that last scene to let the audience know that the real agent was dead and the object of the shape shifter's actions. But, what about that nurse???Oh, well. It's ONLY a televison show.
