donderdag 25 juli 2019 Watch MSNBC. Such a dramatic day, yesterday! Elijah Cummings: I'm begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on. Because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children, and your children's children, and generations yet unborn we've got to guard this moment…this is our watch.

Paris just set a new heat record of 42.6°C (108.6°F) and the temperature is still rising, says Météo France, which has issued a maximum-level Red Alert for the heatwave.

A boy cools off under a public water spray on the bank of the Seine River. Tourists frolic in the fountains to seek relief. On KUOW... Is another smoky summer inevitable? Downtown Seattle is barely visible from Fremont on Monday, August 20, 2018 when heavy smoke from wildfires invaded the area.

Carol Danvers has landed! I'm watch Captain Marvel... again.

woensdag 24 juli 2019 Midnight movie - Total Recall. I forgot how violent it was. I watched and went, 'My God! This is ultra-violent!' There's cutting off arms and so on. There's a lot of blood and death. Vilos Cohaagen is the ruthless authoritarian dictator of Mars. Fascism is bad! Behold... The Pyramid Mines!

Before tackling the Alps, the riders will have to tame a mid-mountain stage. Stage 17 of the TDF2019 is 200 kilometers long, which connects the Pont du Gard to Gap.

Watching the Mueller Hearings live. Repubs badgering Mueller.

Finally, I discover the name of these pretty trees all over Oberlin - Eastern Redbud! Photos I took in May.

The flowers are showy, light to dark magenta pink in color, 1.5 cm (1⁄2 in) long, appearing in clusters from Spring to early Summer.

What a beautiful backdrop! Matteo Trentin outfoxes his breakaway companions to ride to victory!

Watch Steven Spielberg's fantasy epic Ready Player One. A view of "the stacks" appears right away showing a bleak vision of the housing situation in Columbus, Ohio, in 2045. This Columbus is only 26 years into the future and 112 miles from me.

Paris When It Sizzles - a 1964 American romantic comedy.

Alexey Lutsenko of Astana during Stage 16 of the 2019 Tour de France. It is 36°C ensoleillé. Apparently absolutely roasting. Very much a day for squirting water through your helmet.

Caleb Ewan has now won two stages in his debut Tour de France. The yellow jersey stays with Alaphilippe. Magnifique!

maandag 22 juli 2019 On BBC News - Hong Kong reels from armed mob violence. A whole night of violence. The city is in shock. Continue with Westworld. An episode which is not a blood-soaked robot rebellion - Kiksuya. Akecheta bumps into Logan, right after he was abandoned by Young William. Logan didn’t really deserve to be left out in the desert to get sunstroke. In his dehydrated ramblings, Logan reveals to Akecheta that Westworld is a false reality.

A potent scene... Nirvana’s Heart-Shaped Box without lyrics and just the melody. Akecheta gets up off of the examination table and wanders around the headquarters looking for Kohana. Days of suffering in the Tour de France. It's a Rest Day for our heroes. Thank goodness. You can see the pain in their faces.

It's not a MAGA hat! Going around Oberlin today, I got second looks. I'm just wearing my red Mariners cap.

zondag 21 juli 2019 American science fiction comedy film from 1989 - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Keeping track of stage 15 of the Tour de France. The Mur de Péguère looks intimidating. In the lead, 🇩🇪 Simon Geschke. Still 35" ahead of his companions. The road twists up to Prat d'Albis.

Victory for Simon Yates. Julian Alaphilippe retains the yellow jersey. The dream goes on... and the hardest is yet to come. Yates kicked clear of Simon Geschke with 8.6km left to ride to finish triumphant.

ショーグン・ワールドへようこそ (Welcome to Shogun World) Back to Westworld where some of our friends wander into a Japanese "narrative." Watch Akane no Mai.

vrijdag 19 juli 2019 Midnight movie - MST3K: Rocket Attack U.S.A. The "feel-good" movie from the Cold War era. But Now For Something Completely Different: Tom Servo's haircut!

On France 24 - Revisited: To the Moon and Back. So many people think that the lunar landing was filmed in a Hollywood studio. I was 12-years-old - with Walter Cronkite - watching history in the making. An Excessive Heat Warning is now in effect for all of Ohio until 8 PM tomorrow. HEAT INDEX VALUES... Up to 107° due to temperatures in the mid 90s, and dew points in the mid 70s.

Wout van Aert crashed today. I hope he's going to be ok.
