There will be a critique of Donald Trump at the very end of this post after Puzzle Time. I know many of you have tired of such posts but I think back at how Trump ridiculed everyone who drew his ire and I concluded that I should be allowed the same courtesy.

My favorite thing about America is its diversity. My doctor is Pakistani, my dermatologist - Indian, my surgeon - Chinese, and my favorite people on TV are Fareed Zakaria, Sanjay Gupta, and Fauci. And the owner of my gas station a block from my home wears a turban. Half of my neighbors are black.

I take great pride in our "melting potishness".

Remember last summer when they found that black sarcophagus that was never supposed to be opened and the Egyptian Director of Antiquities said, "Well, we opened it and the world hasn't fallen into darkness yet"?

Anyway, I'm sure it's fine.

It's called a sun pillar, i.e. a light pillar caused by the sun, and it belongs to the family of halos.

According to National Geographic, "The name describes a weather phenomenon during which narrow rods of light appear to extend from the sky to the ground. The appearance of light pillars appearing below the farthest northern latitudes is so rare that they have been reported as UFOs in the past."

Movie - Prospect

I have a theory about movies like this. I think they were the senior project for graduating from film school. They all have a few things in common and they all center on the fact that they have very little money to fund the project.

This science-fiction movie starts with a man and his daughter sharing a small living space aboard a huge mother ship. This unit also doubles as the shuttle that they fly down to an alien moon.

When they landed it was in a thick forest where the remainder of the film was shot. Such a setting costs nothing.

Their spacesuits were also cheap but believable.

Each of these project films gets one big star. I think that when the star was making his/her project film they got a big star to participate and feel the need to continue the tradition. This film had 
Pedro Pascal who did a great job.
What I hated about this movie is that it quickly evolved into a shoot-em-up which I blame on the scriptwriter.

The first turn reminds me of US Highway 50

Gunnison to Salida, Colorado

This is what it looks like...

I had a panic attack and had to turn around. The front right part of my hood made it impossible to see the edge of the road and there was nary a guardrail. Terrifying.

HOW EVERY ODD



My wife read me an article about people writing in things like Mickey Mouse on their ballots. Neither of us could figure out why.
Then later I saw that one of the states had these percentages:
Biden - 49.6
Trump - 49.1
Other - 1.2
Those write-in other votes could have turned the election. Don't be silly...just vote.

I read a study that showed an abundance of cleavage increased tips with both women and men customers. Also, any kind of bandage or cast added a significant increase. And not surprising, tips went up when a female waitress merely touched the arm or shoulder of a male patron.

I once had a bartender who would stand right in front of me and unbutton another button on her blouse and pull down her bra and say, "I'm ready to get some big tips." Then she would sashay down to service her male customers.

SOME PARTING WORDS FOR MISTER TRUMP
























Patriotism is the last refuge of despots.

puzzle time...the guy's birthday is Dec 31st.

He is speaking from the date of January 1st and when he is 26. That same year, he will turn 27. I think the tricky part is interpreting "the next year I will be 28". This will be in year AFTER he is speaking on Jan 1.

Deja Vu - Yes it is fake. Welding helmet and holding an ARC welder - the rod is hitting the chain link fence and causing sparks - good theater but no harm.
