Right now I'm reading "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann. I was interested in reading the book because I did a remediation project up in Osage County, around where the murders took place, and I worked with the Osage Nation, since they still own th...

I’m convinced that Herman did not physically exist, he was a psychological manifestation of all TM’s demons - his traumatic loss of his father, his war experience, his fear of his own mortality,, etc. Herman “swam away” because TM had finally confronted his issues. For that matter, TM’s whole treadi...

Nice wahoo, TQ! Speaking of big fish and small boats, I take my 9' kayak off the beach out beyond the breakers from time to time to fish. I catch big bull redfish and black drum, king and spanish mackerel, jacks, red snapper around the close in production rigs, and my fair share of sharks. I use wir...

I found a source that gave me information on currents, and so I've updated the OP with my conclusions on TM's drift.

Thanks Reef Monkey. Got the jackets. Got hand helds. Take my cell phone. Fire extinguisher on board. I don’t go too far so feel pretty safe. I like the idea of backup motor but the boat is so small it’s already kinda tight. There is a local course I can take. I’ve been learning from my Bahamian fri...

I have a 34 lb. cat.

I should bench press him.

He definitely is too big to juggle.

Finally watched this last weekend. Not nearly as bad as I had always heard it was.

Up until two weekends ago, I drove a 2011 Chevy Malibu, which I bought the month I joined this site, actually (I think it was within a week, too). I had just left a job where I had always had a company car, and went out and bought the Malibu really quickly to have basic transportation that I could k...

I add my voice to the side that says "refuse to watch" shouldn't have any effect one way or another on the overall rating of the episode. It makes the rating invalid to count "refuse to watch" as a score. If it can't be fixed so that it does not affect the aggregate rating, it should be removed as a...

Hmm.. ...I think hate, scorn, and criticism for reboots, remakes, re-imaginings, sequels, and prequels is one thing that almost all fandoms have in common. Not that that means everybody always has to hate a remake, but it's an extremely common sentiment among pop culture fans. For some people, ripp...

Two or three weeks ago I finally told my wife she could delete all the episodes from our DVR and cancel the scheduled recording. I had watched three episodes, and though hadn't made a conscious decision to stop watching, had just lost interest. We've also done the same for Lenkov's Hawaii 5-0, after...
