Here's a couple from the weekend. Sunny, minimal people, and an oddly cold wind that was blowing but still great!  Then followed by rain on Monday. Crazy weather. Random thoughts for the week ahead - I have so much going on in June and July that I'm blurring them together and shall refer to them as Junly. This Junly season has at minimum three long trips, more house update/repairs squeezed in when I'm home, and a couple rounds of work weeks with hosting people.

The house next door has prospective short term renters looking at it. Today's round was a couple with a toddler. Perfect! I hope they take it. Almost guaranteed to be quiet.
Politics - how is anyone sleeping in Washington? Insomnia must be a big thing in that town. I wish we could give them a 24 "cone of silence" so our collective dizzy brains could take a break. Seems like Animal Planet's ratings should be up. When all else fails, that's the least annoying channel on TV. That and BBC America with their daily Doctor Who and various Star Trek series going on. I'm more caught up on Voyager today than I was when it originally aired.

Mid-month Invisalign update - Tray 11 began today. It's going much better in the first few hours than Tray 10 did over 13 days. I think the top teeth are done with their moves and let the lower pain/shifting begin. I'm over the half-way point now!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

-
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

-
Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
