Quote from: Ron Pulliam on December 29, 2023, 07:09:42 AMLast night, I watched a PBS show called "The Brokenwood Mysteries".It was the 4th episode of Season 1, and I wasn't sure it would be a stand-alone mystery. Happily it was!Not to belabor the point with details, I rather enjoyed it. There was a killing and there were several suspects. Once it was clear who the true killer was and the reasons, the show went a bit longer than it should have with a rather unsettlingly odd issue of the killer taking a hostage and traveling to the very place where the killing had taken place. It's a worthy show, nonetheless, and fills a void in weekday night entertainment.DR Jeanne turned me on to that series. It’s wonderful. All of the episodes are standalone. I think we’re up to nine seasons.

I just picked up my fried chicken with fried okra and fried squash and hugh puppies.That's 'cause today is "fry"-day, I guess.I wonder if that one place that stayed open is now going to start getting more business from people trying them this week while the others were closed.

I keep getting my days mixed up. I kept thinking that today was Saturday. “No, it’s Thursday. No, it’s Friday.” And I can’t believe that Monday is Jan 1. Am In some sort of time warp?
