This is good news!  I see one of the dissenters is that pig Kavanaugh.

But of course!

Just before Milena showed up, I got my 3-day delivery of food, and immediately afterwards Fairway showed up with a delivery of three shopping bags of food, a gift from my fifth floor neighbors Ann and Jen!  I don't know where I am going to put all of this.

Dr Elmore:  After you've filed your weekly claim on Sunday, what day are the funds in your bank account?

Might be different in different states, but just curious. I think ours takes around three business days.

And yes, after weeks (!) of difficulty in getting myself into the system, I, DR ChasSmith, a gigging musician (not to be confused with a gagging one), am about to start receiving the pandemic benefits.

I think the fact thst Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion that was a surprise. Imagine, Supreme Court justices embracing a concept like “liberty and justice for all.”

Tuesday or Wednesday, and I don't know why it's Tuesday one week and Wednesday the next.

And PUA congratulations, DR ChasSmith!

The neighbor above me has been gone for over two months.  She returned yesterday.  I saw her in the basement this morning, and she said she had been in Florida.

[elmore3003]

I must make a trek to the corner post box.  I may stop in the corner bodega for a few things.

TOD 2:

North by Northwest
Casablanca
United 93
Flightplan
Only Angels Have Wings
Wings in the Dark (with Cary Grant as a blind pilot)

Few pieces of music move me to tears as Rusalka's Hymn to the Moon (Dvorak); as soon as she reaches the 2:30 mark, I'm a mess:

Oh man, yes, with the harp figure coming in there.

Which orchestra is that? I didn't try to read through all the comments.

DR Elmore, did you see the Met production a few years back? Their "Live in HD" was my first time seeing or hearing the piece, and I loved it but haven't found a way to revisit that production. Do you have a recommendation for one?

TOD - Air Force One

And a nod to Cast Away, because of the plane crash that sets up the story.  One of the most frightening things I've ever sat through in a movie theatre.

That reminded of Reckless, where Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez are among the survivors of a plane crash. Great movie. But the plane crash scenes are terrifying.

Forgot to renew my car registration. Now I have spent the last 45 minutes waiting. And it’s still a long slog to go.

[John G.]

Listening to a bit of Fair Warning, which is getting good.

[Jane]

Thank you DR George.  I am still ok today so until my next flare up I should be good for awhile.

[Jane]

The Lysice has done wonders for Annabelle the past few days,  I've heard no sneezing or wheezing, and she's so happy she's been chirping like a big fat gray bird.  When she's content, she purrs but when she's really happy or thrilled, she chirps, so I'm a happy Daddy with a sore leg this morning.

Vibes she stays healthy!  And vibes for your ankle!

[George]

I think my foot injury is actually ankle tendonitis and it's killing me.  Getting about is quite painful, and it's my own damned fault, which makes it more irritating.

~~~Ankle Vibes for Larry!!~~~

[George]

For those doing these computer things...I.E. MR BK - do you wear makeup of any kind.

My face seems to be about four different colors of pink and red, but I don't want to end up looking like this.

Yikes! I've done drag with less makeup than that!

The only stage production I've ever seen was at Houston Grand Opera with a very young Renee Fleming, while we were working on Babes in Toyland, and it was quite wonderful.

[elmore3003]

The Peter Weigl film is on youtube.  I have never seen this, but I have liked several of his filmed operas, particularly The Turn of the Screw.

This has been a lost day.  Playing with those food deliveries took up most of my day.

Were you both wearing masks? 

[Jane]

Forgot to renew my car registration. Now I have spent the last 45 minutes waiting. And it’s still a long slog to go.

Oh, oh.  Keith did ours online and then it gave us the option to renew our driver's licenses very early.  He, of course, took advantage of doing those online.  I think the driver's renewal is why we both received updated voter registration cards.

[Jane]

When purchasing into our condo complex we liked that it was open vs the buildings we looked at in Portland.  Right now having an open airy entrance, covered but airy, is appreciated.  If we are outside of our unit we don't worry about wearing masks & our neighbors are good about distancing.

We have an exit outside our unit which is also near stairs.  We headed out the exit for our morning walk just as our upstairs neighbor & dog rushed out the exit from the stairs.  We all jumped and then began laughing.  That little corner where the exits meet is a bit close, not the best place to be laughing with your neighbor during a pandemic

[Jrand74]

Congratulations to DR CHAS SMITH on his accomplishment.  Spend it in good health.

[Jane]

We missed the rain this morning but it was coming down hard as we drove to Fred Meyer to pick up prescriptions and a few food items.  It just stopped.  I guess we should go out for our second walk soon.
