Watch a little Weather then RT. It's already 6 PM in Moscow. Hash browns and egg for breakfast. Then, it's Modern Marvels: The Berlin Wall on the History Channel. During the Cold War, the Berlin Wall stood as a forbidding barrier in an embattled world.

We review the daunting devices within the Death Strip--one of the deadliest obstacle courses ever--and the ingenious ways people ran it. When the Wall fell with a thud in 1989, its pieces became souvenirs or were recycled for new roads. My t-shirt to wear to Dan & Opie's. It's rather interesting.

I need to get out for some fresh air. A short walk down Rainier Ave. It's cooler than I expected. The winds kick up a bit. Back to the Rainier Valley Cats. Spaghetti for dinner. Watch movie - Drive. Great thriller! Ryan Gosling is amazing. Mr. Gosling’s low-key demeanor and his curiously soft voice make him an unusually sweet-seeming avenger, even when he is stomping bad guys into bloody pulp.
After that film noir, I need something more fun. Surfing the channels, I discover MeTV - Ch. 72. COOL! I love Batman and Lost In Space.
