This is subjective…but name three perfect movies. No argument. No explanation. Just three flicks you think are perfect. Here are mine: Blues Brothers Ernest Saves Christmas Die Hard

I’d really love to hear the old Top Gear/Grand Tour men talk about the new Tesla Roadster.

I can’t believe it’s a bona fide flying car built in my lifetime!

One thing I hope we can do soon with AI is to individually edit movies to suit our preferences. If I think Aslan should be voiced by a man- run the movie through a filter and Boom- Aslan sounds like Morgan Freeman. If I want the story but not the graphic violence, Boom- it's edited out. If an actor I dislike takes me out of the movie, Boom- Sean Pen is replaced with the likeness of Sam Elliot. The director can put out their version to be appreciated or not, and then the audience can tweak it to make it better.

Life is often subpar. What do we do? We roll with it. (this is my philosophy)

When did "I" and "0" become the symbols for "on" and "off"? Anyway, after 30 minutes I finally got the new generator running. – at Hoover, AL

If I drove a red F150 I’d name it Robert. Robert RedFord.
If I had a pet donkey I would name him Oatey. Donkey Oatey

Start with prayer. Then select a book.
If someone wants to start reading Dostoevsky, where should that person start?

Alabama has tons of odd, wonderful, strange town and place names, like the community of slick Lizard outside the town of Nauvoo. I'm on a quest to get a t-shirt from as many of these places as I can. – at Homewood, AL

It's October and central Alabama still has two 90 degree days on hand. Dagnabbit! – at Homewood, AL

I found a cool book by some British guys about making walking sticks. I told some friends and they said 'you're not old, and why wouldn't you just buy one at a drug store?' Some people just don't get it. – at Homewood, AL

I interrupted my wife’s K-drama to share this. She was not as amused as I was.

I really should have gone fishing today. Instead I’m doing errands with a whiny teenager. What was I thinking!
It's National Hunting & Fishing Day. Act accordingly.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I'm more interested in y'all's "best of" lists than I am that of the NY times. My favorite TV of this century: The Unit My Name is Earl Breaking Bad Justified Shetland Downton Abbey – at Homewood, AL
Forget this list. I know that in general Nobody Cares. But here's a few recommendations: Andor A French Village Justified Battlestar Galactica (reboot) The Americans Patriot The Expanse Money Heist True Detective (S1) Hinterland Broadchurch Occupied The Forest

I use a burn barrel to get rid of yard trash. A few days ago a city fireman told me that it’s against regulations in my town to use a burn barrel. But he said if you’re cooking over the fire, it’s OK. So now when I burn yard waste, I’m gonna have a hotdog on a stick nearby just in case the authorities show up. Loopholes rule.

Asked @grok ‘based on my profile picture, put me on the tv show that I look like I belong on and generate an image. I couldn’t be happier with the result! “You look like you wandered straight out of King of the Hill — the neighbor who shows up at Hank’s fence with a lawn chair, a mild complaint about the HOA, and zero interest in anyone’s nonsense after 7 PM.”
