Notes About Stuff

• Went to see the movie, Sole Survivor, last night. Wish that I had chosen something else. Not much plot development. Too much high tech explosions and people falling down slopes where they roll and bounce and roll making high speed contact with every tree and boulder (and surviving), blurring the visual images. It didn't feel realistic. And maybe I'm just getting old but there's too much volume. Turning down the decibels a little wouldn't hurt the film.
• I'm in Best Buy reading the song titles on a compact disc when a store employee interrupts and startles me. I purposely kept reading for three or four seconds before acknowledging his existence by looking up, hoping that he'd get the message that I desired to be left alone. What part of my body and facial language told him initially that I was puzzled and full of questions and that he should approach and ask if I needed help? 
• I can't ever seem to get warm or comfortable at room temperatures these days, always feeling winter's chill. Is this what life is like in those final 20 or 30 years, always feeling the extremes?
• Checker at 7-11 lamenting his midnight drive home after work tonight because the roads are going to freeze up. News Alert .... It's been between 22-24 degrees for the past 36 hours and snowing for the past twelve. Everything's already frozen up. Can't get much more frozen. 
• I must be bordering on insane! Out driving around, taking photos of things covered in snow at 11:00pm. But there's others of my ilk. As I was driving away, someone else was arriving with the same mission in mind.
