Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

Staying at a hotel and San Diego and they've been performing "wellness checks" every 24 hours on my room because I have the do not disturb sign on. 8pm or later too. They also make me fully open the door. I was in just my underwear today to make a point.

Some ******** policy because of the Vegas shooting I'm sure. Pure security theater.

Time to mix it up.

Underwear today, no underwear tomorrow, clown suit on Saturday, boxers and a football helmet on Sunday, tube sock on Monday.

Make the wellness-checkers have to draw straws to see who gets stuck checking on ya.
 
Stranger yet, my container showed up today in the break room after almost 4 weeks. Someone had cleaned it but it is one of those cheap storage containers and if I hold it close and smell it I can smell my chili so I know it was mine. Weird.

Somebody is posting somewhere else on the internet about how he saw his weird co-worker sniffing empty food containers. :rolleyes:
 
Nearing the end of Season 1. It's inconceivable to me that some of those things could happen, even now. It's obviously presented from a certain point of view, but it sure looks like they had a hard-on for Avery, and were just bound and determined to put him away.

I've been reading some stuff on the 'Net - sounds like Kratz (the county prosecutor) is a pretty slimy guy.....sexting, trying to make females under arrest do his sexual bidding, etc.

I'm also watching "An Innocent Man' doc series about the Ada, OK murders. I read Grisham's book, mostly because I have cousins who grew up in Ada and knew those people.
When I initially saw the show, I was incensed with the prosecution and police. Then I studied up on the rebuttals and was incensed that the filmmakers had such a one-sided agenda and downplayed certain evidence and neglected to mention the most critical evidence. Than I read about the next season that rebutted most of the rebuttals and now I'm just incensed that I'm totally confused by the situation.

I read an Innocent Man and I was really frustrated by that. I know Grisham has an angle himself but there was some really bad bias on the part of the prosecution in that story.
 
Random:

Watched The Highwaymen, the new Netflix movie, the other night. I thought it was pretty good. Not sure why it seemed to upset some reviewers. Think maybe because it didn't glorify Bonnie and Clyde. Anyway, Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner's were good. Wasn't expecting a short role by Kathy Bates but she played a good governor for sure.
 
Guilty pleasure of mine is to watch dash cam footage of accidents or near accidents or just plain driving asshattery. (Only one particular channel on YouTube, and no fatalities)

Anyway! They'll usually tag who submitted the video and from where, and one said Iowa. It was a January day in 2018, it was raining, but it was slushy rain. Four lane highway with a grassy median, and a dump truck going the other way of the dash-cammer couldn't negotiate a turn, and just plowed right through the median. No vehicles hit that I could see. There was a highway sign, so I "rewound" and paused the video to see if I could tell what towns were mentioned. Fremont and Hedrick. That's the exit for Ottumwa that I take. It was on 63, and there is a fairly sharp curve just south/east of that exit.

I've watched similar videos and recognized where they driving.
 
The replacement singer before the current replacement singer for Journey is headlining Coralville Fourthfest. Just FYI and random.

Hadn't visited the N.D. cathedral fire thread for a while, that's certainly taken a turn into the cave.
 
Are The Doctor Blake Mysteries decent TV or do I like them when I channel flip into an episode just because it's post-WWII Australia? Does it even matter? Thursday night random ponderings.

Only took a few hours which pissed me off cause it was "my" thread and I don't opt into the cesspool. Might be just as well, half the posts I saw before it caved were idiotic jokes and silly uninformed shots at France. I was interested and watching the coverage live from home (retired guy stuff). In retrospect some of the coverage was pretty uninformed as well.

As is the norm with big breaking events, you get more true info a couple days later. The initial impression that the cathedral was a totally gutted shell, wrong, the roof burned and the stone ceiling protected most of the interior. The fire department didn't know what they were doing, wrong, to the extreme. Also, did not know the cathedral is actually owned by the state, not the church.

FWIW I didn't follow much of that story and have been busy with other things and thought it was the ND in Indiana for maybe half a day.

Was a little confused when they were saying it's 800-some years old.
