What critically acclaimed or "block buster movies" do you not care for?

For me I swim against the tide on "Star Wars" ( Now I loved Star Trek, BattleStar Galactica{the original} and Andromeda so I'm not anti science fiction), The Wizard of Oz, The Grapes of Wrath, and Gone with the Wind.

I do like the music from Wizard of Oz just not the movie.

What are your feelings on the Redistricting panel proposition?

I'm mixed. I think the process needs to be reformed but if legislators pick the panels, I am sure it's still going to lead to politicized gerrymandering especially on the Puke's part? I am not sure which way I should vote on this? Input appreciated.

Dog and I are both sick today

She just tossed her morning meal, mostly in tact, and I woke up with a bad case of acid reflux and overall nausea. We obviously don't eat the same foods just an unfortunate coincidence.

Shame too because the weather is gorgeous and isn't supposed to stay this way. We should be out playing. I think I am going to try taking her for a walk in a little while. Maybe fresh air and sunshine will help.

Just Received a Pet Amber Alert

phone call about 2 missing beagles. Never knew this service existed. Good idea though. Wonder how they determine who gets a call or they just call at random.

My Flu Shot is scheduled for Election Day

Do you think if I have it before I go to the polls it will protect me from the cooties I might catch from standing in line with any T-Pubs? Just Joking!

The town highway superintendent(R)

pulled in my driveway earlier and honest to God the first thing that popped into my head was "I swear I am not one of the five people who wrote in Mickey Mouse" (true story according to the local news) because you ran unopposed in the last election. I may have considered it briefly, but decided to just not vote for that position." Luckily that didn't slip out of the thought bubble.

People on our road were not happy with some changes he made to our road, including me.

He was just here to ask something about the property though.

Insomnia Remedies

When I am having one of those nights where I can't sleep, I have found a rather strange ritual helps.

I get up get a glass of milk, two Peppridge Farm's Nantucket chocolate chip cookies, and then put in a DVD of How The Universe Works narrated by Mike Rowe.

Usually on those nights I am obsessing about how the world is going to hell in a hand basket so I guess having a soothing voice talking about things beyond the troubles of our planet comforts me in some way that helps.

Ailing Man And Ailing Dog Help One Another

I apologize in advance, if the link breaks. This station redesigns their website every couple of days, but I wanted to share this story because it shows the power of the bond between man and dog, and in away also a tribute to nurses. My late Mom was a nurse and I think they rock.

Just Seriously Creeps Me Out

Now I can't stand the majority of Republican politicians any way but for some reason even looking at a picture of Ted Cruz makes my skin crawl. It's just like the crazy and the obnoxious comes right through the camera. I think he is one of the smarmiest politicians we have ever seen in recent years.

Know this is not a particularly deep thought provoking post but does anyone else find him even more creepy than your average puke?

Police Dog Dies in Car

After Being Left for Four Hours
http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/08/police-dog-dies-hot-car/16937885/

RIP Buddy!

If this was an average citizen they would be charged with Animal Cruelty no question, and so should this officer no matter how "sorry" he is, or what his excuses are.

Poor dog!
