drained

I got up really early this morning. Earlier than usual. Really early. I had a dream about the pond over at the property that we bought. All the water was gone. Almost all the water….there was still some goo at … Continue reading

crappy movies

I was looking for the movie called “On the Edge” this morning….and ran across this. On the Edge is a running movie that Bruce Dern made a while back. I watched it when it first came out and haven’t seen it … Continue reading
