    Sometimes rain is good. Here in Virginia, there have been some minor forest fires and yes, I am hoping for a nice soaking rain. But, yes it's always great if this happens at night or in the early morning hours. Sometimes I watch HNK...

    Recently watched the glass cleaning men at the Waverly Train Station in Edinburgh having fun, what else?, cleaning the glass. Wow, that's a lot of Windex.

    He lost a finger during some WWII action and managed to mostly conceal that loss during the filming of Star Trek. There are only one or two scenes where the affected hand is seen.

    When Roy Clark was a cop, he probably spent much time imaging all the ways he could avoid making arrests, catching speeders, and enjoy a quiet and leisurely lunch. So, I enjoyed watching the two officers hang out on a far hill grilling...
