Christian Bale has made another entertaining movie,

"The Pale Blue Eye," based on a book. He co-stars with Harry Melling, who has some fabulous acting chops. Melling was in The Queen's Gambit, but is more famously known and Dudley Dursley, Harry Potter's cousin in Little Whinging. Melling is thin and has a haunting look as Edgar A. Poe.

So, which trumpy Secret Service agent dropped a

top secret document at Biden's residence?

Hey, just asking. Not trying to start conspiracy theories/rumors, etc.

And Merry Christmas to you, Mr. President.

Nice Christmas speech and well-wishes. No bragging. No lying. Just a happy holiday greeting.

I watched Amsterdam on HBO a few days ago.

Christian Bale was fabulous. (He's looking a little thin, to me.)

Good story. The very end of the movie had short video of Gen. Smedley Butler.

I drove past several polling places in heavily red Forsyth County on

my way to see a doctor. The sites were NOT busy.

Knock on wood, I smell a blowout coming.

Bomb threat in Lorson Ranch neighborhood Friday night

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Friday afternoon around 2:00 p.m., deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff's Offices responded to reports of a bomb threat on Rubicon Drive in the Lorson Ranch neighborhood, just south of the Colorado Springs Airport.

The suspect, 21-year old Anderson Lee Aldrich, refused to comply with deputies' orders to surrender. It was reported to the Sherrif's Office that he had a homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition.

A Tactical Support Unit, which includes the Regional Explosives Unit was called in. Around 10 homes were evacuated in the surrounding area, while an emergency text notification was sent out to homes within a 1/4-mile radius of the address.

The Regional Explosives Unit cleared both homes and did not find any explosive devices.

At around 6:00 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody and has been booked into the El Paso County Jail. Aldrich faces two counts of Felony Menacing and three counts of First-Degree Kidnapping.

My dog died.

She was the (very) older of the two. Really smart and sweet. I'm so tired of feeling sad.

Both dogs appeared to be grieving the other losses in our family, but she stopped eating. I took her into the vet. I have no idea what my finances are going to look like, so I couldn't hospitalize her. We tried other treatment over the last week, but she was getting progressively worse.
