It Is Only Tuesday

• Godzilla was very good. We watched it in 3D/Imax. The great thing? Even though I know Godzilla was CG there was some cool man in a rubber suit moments. They also made sure he was still a sympathetic character.
  
  
  

  

  When the Fed Ex guy  came to my door he was in an unusually good mood. I blame this cheery packaging.

  
  

  

  Their figs are great, the dates wonderful but their persimmons are not so amazing- which is why they're missing from the pic.

  
  

  

  No, he wasn't in the box but that would have been cool.

• Another really good movie: The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. I haven't read anything but I'll guess the story was a favorite of Stiller's. Gosh, just a really, really good movie in the way they say no more good movies are made and the music was literally fantastic.
• X-Men- I'm sorry but unless you're Wolverine nobody cares.
• "New terrorist plans are discovered on  a regular basis all the while North Korea develops its nuclear weapons." A bullet point from some outdoor survival school that was linked to an outdoor site I was looking at earlier. Good grief.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Adventurer's Handbook: what I'm reading.
• Although I haven't checked the remaining storage I'm sure my Nook is less than half full at 92 books.
• The rain yesterday (05/24/2014) was refreshing, good for the wildlife and plants but did literally nothing for our lakes. My sweet rain gear from REI is en route as I write this.
• Among my recent decisions my decision to not only take some time off but also combine it with the Memorial Day Holiday was among my best. With the extra hours I worked last week and Monday off for the holiday- 4 total days off only cost me two personal hours.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• On the Russ Martin Show he correctly and geniusly compared being around the open carry nuts in a public setting to the feeling you have when you clean out a garbage disposal- when you know it is off. Something in the back of your mind knows it is wrong and you're on edge- when you shouldn't have to be.
• There are some things- lots of things we can do- it doesn't mean we should.
