Is the trash getting picked up next week? I’ve not been keeping up with the news.

Today is Steven Strait’s birthday.

I stumbled across a few references to Dwayne Johnson’s attempt to get a Doc Savage movie made over the last decade, and it made me wonder who would be a better Man of Bronze, and I realized Alan would be perfect.

I read dozens of the Savage novels years ago and the thing would really make the project soar is the right team of actors assembled to play Doc’s crew. Monk Mayfair, Ham Brooks, Renny Renwick, Long Tom Roberts, Johnny Longjohn. The Wikipedia article does a great description of the backgrounds of the six of them, The technology they used (this was the 1930s) was cool, and Doc was an interesting and humble man, that I think Alan could play in spades.

I have a Ring 2, and it shutdown / went off line overnight. Do these typically dislike -20 weather? Do I need to warm up the battery or recharge it?,

Every article about this newest part of the franchise mentions that it’ll be available everywhere in the world EXCEPT the US. I’ll bite- why not?

This summer marks the fifth year for the city of Roseville to rip up the intersection with Lexington. After the first three years, my wife and I thought they’d finally gotten in right, until they ripped it up much later in the construction season last year. This year, while they redid the other end of Larpenteur down by Snelling, once again they finally around to shutting down the Lexington intersection to replace the signal lights, and I think they have stopped fighting the urge to rip up pavement just last week. Is the pavement cursed or what?

Behind the plate at Target Field today,
Angel Hernandez! Let the frustration begin!!

Marina Vasilevskaya will launch on MS-22. She was a flight attendant with Belavia, before being selected by the Belarusian Academy of Sciences in a Belarusian Woman in Space program. Congratulations!

It’s a the holiday season, and Amazon stops at our house most days. For two days in a row, our delivery did not get picked up by our camera. We’ve had this happen before but we’re tracking it now.

Do they ways to befuddle Ring cameras? When we go out to pick up the package, it picks us up, just not the drop off. Might explain drop offs where Amazon says we got a package, and they sent us a picture, but there was no package to be got a few minutes later; porch pirates working as a team?

Roscosmos will NOT like the idea of this. The fact that there is a NASA astronaut to be brought home with their guys complicates things, but certainly if it was three Russians, Roscosmos would rather hold their breath and just wait on getting their next Soyuz up sooner then let us bring them home. If they do wait for that Soyuz, it throws their future flight schedule into a cocked hat, because they don’t have any spare capsules held aside for contingencies.

Sure is a far cry from the asinine comments from the previous head of Roscosmos about trampolines. Those SpaceX trampolines c
