We saw LUCY this morning. I liked it a lot. It was an interesting metaphysical movie lightly wrapped in a disguise as an action movie. I admire Scarlett Johansson as an actress and a person.

There's an Arco station at the corner where I turn after getting off the freeway and a homeless woman had set herself up there. She had three bull ( Read more... ) -
A sign of the times
I was in the grocery store doing the week's shopping and I saw a kid about ten or twelve years old. The kid was having an ongoing video conference with her mother who was telling her what to buy. So the kid is there and the mother is who knows where doing the shopping by kid proxy. The kid would say "I don't know what X Product looks like." The ( Read more... ) -

I get a big kick out of the fact that the crows leave us presents in exchange for years of giving them peanuts. Their past presents have included: small stones, a bone, a cherry. But the recent crow present was the best: 5 large pieces of dog kibble.
