Wow. I've never seen better actors than this group who play young women stranded on an island after a plane crash. There are 10 episodes and I hope there will be a second season.
Yes, 2020 was bad, but...
I don't know why so many people are thinking bad stuff ends with 2020, when 2021 is leaning against the wall sipping a beer and at midnight on the 31st we'll hear a whispered, "Here, hold this."
Biden in the White House is like looking up and seeing the bat signal though. There is hope.
Three years ago today, I starred in Blade Runner,
aka the Atlanta airport during a total blackout. After hours on the runway there were still 40 planes ahead of us to use the portable stairs.
Once inside, among shadows and ghosts lit with people's lighters and phones held up, I walked up and down corridors and dark frozen escalators to the outside, and joined a long line waiting for shuttles to rental cars. It was raining.
On the plane, I had booked a car and a hotel room. My luggage had been checked through to Boston, so I only had a small carryon. The Holiday Inn lobby was jammed with people, most being turned away for lack of rooms. My reservation held.
The next day was Sunday and I'd rebooked for Monday, so I spent Sunday walking around downtown Atlanta. It was very quiet. I didn't know this mural was there. I took this picture and just stood there a while.
Three years have passed, and seeing this made it all worthwhile.
Such insights to be gained from Limbaugh fans FB comments!
"Pretty sure the reason why the Trump legal team made that announcement is so they can call her in as an expert witness to what has been uncovered. She could not be called upon as a witness if she is on the team."

I was gifted a $40 can of Australian abalone.
Google tells me this is sea snails. Before I donate it to the food pantry, is there some way of eating it that I might want to try?
What I did on my birthday today.
I cranked up "76 Trombones" a few times since I'm 76.
I talked to some of my descendants around the globe. I have 4 kids, 11 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Not all of them are smart -- a couple voted wrong. We didn't talk of it today.
I made salsa with the garden tomatoes. Had cake and gifts with a small family group.
I checked Covid numbers and news headlines and visited DU frequently.
Overall, I had the feeling today that I'd gotten my real present on November 3. It was a happy day.
Giving away spider plants on Facebook, such fun!
Now that we've had to bring in all the green tomatoes for ripening on the cold porch, and that takes up a LOT of room, I'm giving away spider babies on the two "Buy Nothing" Facebook groups I'm in.
People really, really want plants nowadays. I've seen some offers get 50 replies! I shut my offer down when I've got enough takers; I don't have time or enthusiasm for doing a raffle.
I think some lucky person is going to get a big mother (!) spider plant. I always look at the poster's info since I'm not sending my babies to any MAGA house! Luckily those are rare in my Cambridge neighborhood.
L. Graham's $500,000 gift to 45's legal fees makes me sick.
He begged for money on TV, people gave, he won, and instead of looking around his state and giving to agencies that are helping people cope with Covid-related job losses and putting food on the table for their families, he throws a fortune down a bottomless pit of futility.
I'm loving The Conners, Season 3. (Minor spoiler)
Laurie Metcalf rocking the silver-gray hair is a hoot! I stopped dyeing my hair when I turned 70 and it's just a washed-out brown six years later.
