Barnes & Noble. It always seems so "snooty" in there. Hoity-

toity... And they are expensive for a lot of things. But I can

find some things in there that I cannot find anywhere else

except maybe for Amazon.com.

This time it is Alabama's album, Greatest Hits Vol. III. There is a

song that I have been really wanting to get: "I'm in a Hurry". And

there are other good songs on this CD as well. "Tennessee River"

being one.

This is also a test. But for this test I am posting a

picture of some popcorn I bought at Walmart for

one dollar. Popz popcorn. Just for a change while

I watched "Ender's Game" on Blu-ray, which was

pretty good.

This is just a test. Google/Picasa are having their

way with us again and it requires some relearning.

One of the things that I love about cactus is

even when Mother Nature kicks it over...

...it still survives and shows how beautiful it is.

C'mon now.... Who would not want one of these?

I took this picture at the Conan the Barbarian

show at Universal Studios Hollywood some

years ago. While looking at the pictures I spotted

a "Hidden Mickey".

I have always wanted to eat at Hometown Buffet, but

I did not because a mile down the road was...

 

 ...PIZZA!

 

Hometown Buffet: 0

Pizza: 10,346

I bought "I Saw The Light: The Story of Hank Williams" on DVD.

I really wanted to see this one. Tom Hiddleston did a good job but

overall the movie was a little long and a little TVish. Elizabeth "Scarlett

Witch" Olsen played his wife Audrey and she sang a bit. In the movie her

singing was supposed to be terrible, but I liked it. Anyway, it seemed to be a

showcase for TH and he is pretty good. I love him as "Loki" in"The

Avenger" movies. 5.5 out of 10 Cheatin' Hearts.

And yeah, it is brush fire season again. Always some added summer stress.

Being evacuated is difficult enough, losing your home? I pray that we never

find out how that feels.

P.S. I entered a contest with Stetson to win a reproduction of the hat

that Tom wore as Hank Williams in the movie. Winning that would

be fantastic and near impossible.

 

 Happy National Day Of The Cowboy 2016!
