Pair of Doves

-
Other than maybe getting about half of my 10,000 daily steps in, my lunchtime walk was mostly a bust. I saw a few critters but nothing was really cooperating with me, including a beautiful woodpecker that was perfectly posed for me until I got my camera up.

However, as I was leaving the park, I did spot this pair of doves and, since they didn't fly off the second they saw me (which was the case yesterday), I was able to get some photos.

Thoughts From the Gilligan's Island Episode Meet the Meteor (1966)

-

Synopsis: A meteorite crashes onto the island and, when its cosmic rays cause everything around it to age at a rapid pace, the castaways must find a way to destroy it before it kills them. Their only chance is an approaching electrical storm and even that requires striking the meteorite with lightning. My Thoughts: What happened to the island's underground gases?  When a World War II mine landed on the island, the Professor ( Russell Johnson ) insisted the mine would set off a chain reaction if it exploded because of the gas chambers. Yet that meteorite had a much larger explosion when it hit, and nothing happened. Wow, the Skipper ( Alan Hale, Jr ) sure didn't know a whole lot about meteorites. In addition to referring to it as a meteor rather than the proper term, he insisted it was part of a star. I'll chalk part of it up to this show being on the air when space travel was still relatively new but am still a bit disappointed the Professor didn't at least attempt to...

My Thoughts from the Green Bay Packers at the New England Patriots (11/8/2026)

 Here are my thoughts from today's Green Bay Packers' 45-27 win at the New England Patriots: That was a great quick start by the Packers. They capitalized on the early interception by Xavier McKinney and then made it look easy as they moved downfield on that second drive then eventually went up 17-0. Loved to see that because it set the right tone and gave them a buffer for later in the game, when the Patriots made some big plays of their own. So, what do we think of Matthew Golden now? I remember a lot of "fans" calling him a bust after his rookie year but he's quickly growing into a top receiver. That second scoring drive was all him. We can't forget about Christian Watson either. I thought for sure, with a broken rib, he'd have a limited impact in this game but that wasn't the case, making just as much of an impact as Golden throughout. And Savion Williams makes three. There doesn't seem to be anything Williams can't do, whether it is run...

Synopsis: Coping with her mother's illness, a pile of doctor bills and a recent job loss, Sistine reluctantly joins her friend, Hannah, on an alligator riverboat tour in Louisiana. Their tour guide, Rodrigo, takes them off the normal route in search of the swamp's largest known gator and the two friends, long with the boat's other passengers are soon stranded after being attacked by something none of them expected to see, a hippopotamus, leaving them fighting for their lives against the creature. Who's in it? The movie stars Madison Davenport , Tracey Bonner, Olivia Bernstone, Samantha Coughlan and River Codack. Review: When I came across Hungr y a few days ago, the description both made me roll my eyes a bit and yet intrigued me just enough to add it to my watch list. I convinced my wife to watch it with me last night and the film more than exceeded expectations. The idea of a hippo occupying the swamp in Louisiana seemed farfetched, but the movie does an OK job maki...
