Thanks! Found several referrals to keep me busy on a cold Sunday morning.
Thanks for sharing my Star Wars rant, Infidel!
I am very sad about what is happening in Hong Kong. I have been there four times, the last in 2015, and it is one of my favorite cities. I don't know what the end game is going to look like there, but I suspect the people of Taiwan are paying close attention to how the PRC handles the situation, given the PRC's covetous gaze towards Taiwan.
My favourite is the Tree of Gold! Just magnificent.
That Popular mmechanics link keeps sending me off to a fake antivirus site..just a heads up...
No Thoughts: Glad to help pass the time.....
Tommy: It was a good exposition of the problems with the series, and how the film industry ruins good ideas by over-exploiting them.
It seems that the Hong Kong protests are increasingly turning to violence and harassment of ordinary citizens (by wrecking train stations, for example). At that rate they'll lose popular support and the regime will be able to crush them with far less backlash.
Debra: It's a spectacular image.
Unknown: I tried the link immediately after seeing your comment, and again just now, and it worked normally for me. Unfortunately I have no idea what the problem is. You could try again in a day or two.
Hi Infidel,
I'm late to the party, as usual. You reeled me in with dogs. I can watch little dogs with big sticks videos for hours on end. I was driving a few months ago, and there was a dog walking up the sidewalk with some people. I think it was some kind of bulldog. He had what looked like half an oak tree in his mouth. It was hilarious. Of course, I had to click on the dog links.
I love the vaccine story. I have a nephew who refuses to vaccinate his baby daughter. It drives me right up the wall. There is no reasoning with him. He buys only organic food and even organic clothing for her, but he won't protect her with a friggin vaccine. Don't get me started.
Was that graveyard for Halloween? It's very cute, but where do you put a miniature cemetery? Do you put it by the front door to greet your guests. I'm a little confused.
The sci-fi marionettes look more like people than some people do these days. Have you seen the weird family living and working in the White House? More plastic than the marionettes, for sure.
The tree of gold is amazing (and I always thought gold leaf looked kinda cheap).
Oh, Jesus, it's a bird.
Tip for living (addendum): Make sure you don't go to a gym where Jim "Gym" Jordan is a member if you plan on taking your showers there (especially if you are eating a banana).
Okay, I have to force myself to stop clicking on links., because it's 4 in the morning. I keep saying just one more and then something catches my eye, and I have to click on it. As Scarlett (the original, not Lindseypoo Graham) said, "Tomorrow is another day."
Thanks for the link to The Raisin. Appreciated, as always.
Dammit! Just clicked on another one. Now I know how to find a hidden camera.
Ha!
I went down the rabbit hole there. Thanks for the links.
One that stuck? The one about the hidden cameras. Who knew?? Also, that photo!
XOXO
Tree of Gold is quite wonderful, and the good vs evil was intriguing. Kept staring at that for quite some time. As alway, thanks for putting my name in lights, and hope your day is fabulous!! Hugs, RO
Nonnie: The anti-vaccine thing is madness. The greatest life-saving technology ever, and some people refuse to use it because of religion or misinformation. They're failing their children.
I assume Justine has space in her house for art projects -- it would be kind of a necessity since Halloween unfortunately doesn't last all year. The houses of some of the Halloween bloggers must be pretty interesting.
Better not to go anywhere where Gym Jordan is a member.
You stay up to 4:00 AM? That's later than I get up in the morning.
Sixpence: The fox found the hidden camera -- can we do less?
RO: Funny that the cover art for two such different movies got such a similar design. There will probably be a movie about Trump someday, but I doubt the cover will show him looking thoughtful, if that's even possible.
Cats, cats, cats! I always enjoy cat humour :)
And holy moly...the tree of gold. Astonishing!
