Monday's Missives

• Once Upon A Time In The Midlands was on the menu last night and it saddens to say- it did not impress which is a little unusual; as off the wall comedies like that which get two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper are normally pretty we'll received by me.
• A long ago love interest told me as we were getting to know each other she had sex with the brother to a guy who was on The Voice or American Idol- whatever and presented it as if I should have been impressed. I was not. I never spoke to her again.
• Yesterday (today is 07/12/2016) I took note of a sign on the Interstate that referenced the Peach Peddle.
• A friendly aquaintence rode the 61 mile route.
• It made me draw up inside and break into a sweat to just write that.
• The battle of Stalingrad was literally insane and as this article points out the casualties were nearly incomprehensibele; 2 million people- in 6 months.
