| Milestone Bedtime |
The FBR, already bouncing back from
her cold which she dominated by simply ignoring it, achieved a nocturnal milestone
last night. Heretofore she’s always slept in her crib without blanket or
stuffed animals, child rearing gospel nowadays. She’s now reached an age where
that prohibition could be lifted and her parents sent the above photo to show
her snuggled down with several of her furry friends at bedtime. I was wondering
how it would go because, courtesy of the infrared camera in her bedroom (times
have changed), we knew she wandered almost ceaselessly both before and after
she fell asleep. Wingman reported she did well and the added benefit of playing
with her friends for a full half hour after she woke up instead of immediately demanding
his presence.

| Sox Playoff Beard - Day 3 |
The conspiracy theorists are having a
field day with the Las Vegas tragedy always looking to insert drama into a
situation thoroughly saturated with the same. They claim there were multiple
shooters and there was no way the amount of carnage inflicted come have come from
one man. I’m sure from their basement lairs in their mother’s house they could
reach this conclusion despite never having seen a fully automatic weapon in
action. I have and there’s no doubt the Las Vegas law enforcement have it
right. I’m surprised there weren’t more deaths given the capabilities employed.
While the internet is a fabulous boon to information sharing it also allows
these weenies their platform to spout nonsense. Luckily there is now an effective
counter as these wild accusations are fact checked and exposed almost as
quickly as they appear. Of course the conspiracy theorists are no more interested
in checking facts than they are in changing their soiled underwear.
Date night had my wife and I taking in
American Made, Tom Cruise’s return to the air. This was a very entertaining look
at the excesses of the cocaine wars of the 1980s and yet another Hollywood
attack on President Reagan’s administration. Cruise plays a pilot recruited by the
CIA to spy on Central American commies who takes up a sideline of serving as
the Medellin Cartel’s delivery boy. I was interested in the part about supplying
the Nicaraguan contras because I parachuted into one of the airfields used by
the contras during the same time frame. To say the filmmakers took extreme liberties
with the facts would be a gross understatement. They take a sledge hammer approach
to mockery and sacrifice integrity for it. I looked into the facts about Barry
Seal after watching the movie and very little of what they portray happened and
what did in the way they allege – but that’s Hollywood. Cruise is very good and
it was interesting to see his dark side exposed behind all those teeth as the morally
bankrupt Seal. A very entertaining flick as we ride into the ground with him.
The Bad Cinema project count rises #24
