It was cold today and windy and the concrete has been slick, and I should examine world affairs that have occured since yesterday. All I have checked up on is that the P***ckers whipped the Seahawks by 20+points. More info will be coming forth at 10 p.m. On this dreary Saturday night I needed a movie tape to slip into the slot, and got out an old vhs of Gidget! Not a modern flick, but a good one for a night like this, bringing back memories of the local picture show 50 years ago. I think my family actually went to see Gidget one night c. 1960, and we enjoyed it. Sandra Dee looked good way back then, and she could act. A shame that she destroyed her life with firewater. Her father and mother were portrayed as goofs, and the music on the soundtrack was more '40s than rocknroll '50s, but it is an enjoyable flick on a dark winter night. I should watch a bunch more of "old" movies. When stumped with politics take a break and watch some movies. On Fox News this afternoon the reporters had a segment about a guy named Olmstead, who got killed in Iraq, but left a very powerful final blog entry to be posted after his death. I thought the commentator was going to cry as he read the post on air. Incidentally the 40th anniversary of the Tet Offensive will be at the end of this month, and this week is the 39th anniversary of my induction into the US Army at Ft. Lewis, an unpleasant period of life I survived with my body intact, but with some agent orange poison in me I did not find out about for many years. Enough of that for now. I lost two friends in 2007--one was fired from work, and one died of some kind of saliva gland cancer.
This is going to be all for right now. Di di mau!
