This is the back of the old Panasonic 7.1 surround sound Blu-ray

player at Borden Cinema. This thing sounded F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C

and it was beyond fun hearing things all around you. Scary movies

were next level, but it was kind of a pain in the butt. All the wires, and

when one part of the system went south, it was all over.

I do miss it but a GOOD soundbar is much less complicated and when

and if it goes down (please no), only the one component needs replacing
as opposed to the whole system.

I love going to Borden Cinema.

If you've been using COVERGIRL CG Smoothers
Hydrating Makeup as your foundation and, like me, can
no longer find it in stores, or can only find it online at
outrageous prices, you may be looking for an alternative.

This.

COVERGIRL Clean Invisible Foundation. I know
Walmart has it and Target my have it as well.
There ya go.

How cool. My semi-newly planted cactus
(Saturday, January 3, 2026) looks like he
is happy in his new (for now) home!

He gave us a flower.

Beautiful.

I wanted the movie Novocaine when it was first

released but I didn't want to pay what they were
asking for it. Today I found it in the $5.00 bin at
Walmart and tonight it will be playing
at Borden Cinema!

Take a drink whenever I type the word "it".
Have fun!

There are birds around here that build their
nests in the same spots every year. Last night
something annihilated two of those nests. I don't
know if it is too late for them to start again,
but it is possible. I am hoping they do.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
1776 - 2026

Welcome back to Cactus Central.

I spotted this cactus along the road. We don't have any
like this on The Ranch. I need to fix that.

I can't believe America's 250th

birthday is just one week away.

WOO HOO!

I found SCREAM 7 on 4K Ultra and Blu-ray today and I will be

watching this one tooooNIGHT. I don't know how, but I have managed

to stay away from every possible spoiler out there. Either I was very

lucky, or absolutely nothing noteworthy happens in SCREAM 7. I hope

it is the former. Anyway, my popcorn is waiting and will find out soon!
