Some Photos from the Daughter's Visit. We explored, the old abandoned Marble Quarry, the Ferry to Proctor, the Ferry over then down to Creston, back over the pass, metal detected the beach (only find: A lead fishing weight), hung out at Oso, generally a laid back vacation, the weather not (yet) good enough to accommodate my prospecting interests (to her immense relief, I'm sure....)
The Graffiti makes a great space even better, and it's constantly renewed...
The Glass House. Always wanted to stop, finally did, it wasn't open...The Story goes that they bottles were from a funeral home - they all held embalming fluid. Curious.
An old mine shaft beside the road, a few of these, only to discover I hadn't packed a flashlight. Grrr!!!...I need to be a little better prepared...
And this, a favorite house on the way out of Nelson, creative use of a rockslide, a shame it's so close to the highway...
And waiting for the roads to be cleared at the top of the Kootenay Pass...still a good 10 feet of snow at the higher elevations...

I've been on his page for quite a while, and am in full agreement. Psychology and Psychiatry have become overrun with quick fixes and special interest lobbies that make them pushers of the worst kind, creating addicts from children solely to enslave them to big pharma. My opinions count for nothing. His, however, have some weight...

This looks good. See, what can you do when you take the money for special effects and give it to a writer? This looks real good...

The movie, with the daughter, her reward for watching the original (which she didn't ...). I had low expectations, and they weren't disappointed. I mean, for what it was, well, it was over the top. Completely. I mean a whole new tier of stupidity, extraneous characters that are carried the entire film serving no function, monsters being killed a dozen times over, again and again, damn, these things just won't die, and I'm embarrassed for Tom Hiddleston, running over these beasts in a toxic green gas killing baby pterodactyls with his samurai sword...did he not read the script? Samuel Jackson, did you not read the script? And the giant Daddy Longlegs, the stick bug, silliness, silliness, and when they try to add meaning and profundity...Lol. Yeah, no, nice try. But I explain it to the daughter..."It's a metaphor for the destabilization of the middle East by American interests...". Nope. Just another movie with 100 million dollars for special effects and $28.00 for a screenwriter...
