BACON OF THE SEA?
Researchers at Oregon State University may have developed the greatest food product in the history of eating.
It's good for you. It grows rapidly. And, the real kicker, it tastes like bacon.
Initially, it might not sound or look too appetizing. It's a red marine algae called dulse that looks like translucent red lettuce and grows in the wild along the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines.

TOD:
I really like Bruce Willis, but I don't know that I've seen very many of his movies and other than all the "Die Hard" series movies (which I enjoyed very much), I can't think of the names of any of them. Cable television seems to air "12 Monkeys" a lot, which is odd because it's such a disturbing film. It was okay, but not my favorite. And, of course, he was charming in "Moonlighting" back when he still had some hair.
Okay, I just cheated and looked him up on IMDB.com. Holy crap that man has done a lot of films! I was hoping some titles would ring a bell, but other than "The Sixth Sense" (which of course was very good), I didn't recognize hardly any of them. And I think there's a couple of later Die Hard movies I've never seen.

I am doing well today.  Didn't sleep well last night, I just couldn't get to sleep then we had a downpour for quite a while which is very loud on a slate roof.  We got 2.25 inches of rain.  We needed it.  But I discovered a little trickle of water in the basement, so....I found someone who can clean gutters and called him.  He'll be by tomorrow to do that.  I also called the company that is going to do the basement repair an scheduled it for October.  Then I put in the call to schedule an electrician to fix the plug for the new sump pump that will be installed in October.  And a friend stopped over briefly this morning.  She had her husband had a landscaping business for years.   She offered to mow my yard and although I initially said no, I called her back and said yes.   So she's coming over tomorrow to mow for me.   

Glad to hear you are okay, DR cillaliz!

I've been puttering around, moving things around, putting things away, rearranging things, et cetera, et cetera.  And though I know I accomplished some things and made some progress, you sure can't tell by looking at it.  Oh well.  I'm done with it for the day.  And maybe it's time for a damned drink.  :)

Part of today's reorganization was the record collection, taking out some more things to get rid of, tightening up the shelves, etc.  Then I decided I was curious enough to do a rough count of how many I still have.

At my collecting accumulating peak around 2005 or thereabouts, I came up with a very rough estimate of there being 6,000 or more LPs in the house.  Which was totally out of control because about half of those hadn't even been sorted, or examined for condition and tossed or put away properly.

So I think it was in the year before I joined this here jernt .... over a couple of months, I went through the ones sitting around in boxes and whatnot, and donated carloads of records to library sales and thrift shops.  There was very little that would have been worth trying to get any money for due to condition or title or whatnot, so I was fine with getting them the HELL out of here.  That was an almost indescribable relief.  When done, every single thing I still deemed worth owning was on shelves and, for the first time, not scattered about the house but all together in one room -- the Music Room, of course.

So, back to today's rough count.  You could never make a literal count.  I took conservative averages of what the various shelves held, and was shocked, shocked, to estimate that I still have some 3,500 LPs.  Believe me, it doesn't look like any such thing.  But...maybe it really does, and I don't see it that way because I'm used to it.  However, I do have a vision of what the collection should ultimately look like, space-wise, and I will be all the happier when I get that total down at least several hundred discs.

You know, I do need that drink.  Bottoms up!    :)

Qualification. The direction isn't as good as it needed to be. In fact, some of the scenes toward the end were not well shot or paced, so the actors were left stranded. That Shakespeare guy can write, though.

Well, this is an incredible turn of events!  This was just posted today:  Sexual Orientation Discrimination Is Barred By Existing Law, Federal Commission Rules (http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/sexual-orientation-discrimination-is-barred-by-existing-law#.vyP791x43)!

Quote
The commission found that sexual orientation discrimination is sex discrimination for several reasons. Among the reasons, the commission stated, is because sexual orientation discrimination “necessarily entails treating an employee less favorably because of the employee’s sex” and “because it is associational discrimination on the basis of sex.”
