Regular mode..

I'm going to try not to take for granted this time.. Try not to ignore it.. Last Friday as we were headed to town to get groceries and stuff mom noticed a red leaf where the memorial tree was (is) .. The stump.. And what was a fluke of sorts.. Was dads tree growing again and if so HOW????...  Well I checked it that evening and sure enough it was growing again.. I was so happy and excited that I made mention on Facebook.. Then the next morning took these pictures to make it real..

It seems so small and dainty  compared with the stump of the tree that is is growing from.. My question is will it be alright or is this false hope??  I'm gonna water it through the winter, try to give it a gallon a week and see if it will continue the quest next spring.. At the rate the tree grew it was a few feet per year.. We had the tree for just about ten years maybe eleven and it was really nice and tall, starting at about five feet tall it really grew quite well.. Five years ago another wind knocked it over and everyone told me to just cut it down and start over.. I opted with trying to salvage it by way of straps and fence posts.. Left it tied that way for well over a year.. Unstrapped it and it grew more straight up after that.. But the leaves seemed to make the top of the tree more of a fan type of thing.. And for the next few years while it grew up, it didn't grow out.. I thought that was a good thing.. There were other winds, but none took the tree out.. Then two weeks before the storm that took the tree down, we had a similar wind that was without rain. A dry run if you will.. And it didn't damage the tree at all.. While damaging other trees and knocking the power out until close to midnight.. The storm that toppled the tree was heavy wind driven rain, kinda like a hurricane, took out our tree and several others in a three block area...  After the tree was taken out I weed wacked the stump to get the weeds out and likely nicked the stump... And that might have helped start this to grow.. Will it still be there next spring??  I'm gonna do what I can to help it.. I'm gonna try to put grass clippings and leaves on it, try to insulate it as much as I can.. Hope it works..

Friday night was the start of movie nights..  And the classic..

Risky Business.. Tom Cruise is Joel, a marketing "genius" that finds out how the market really works.. This was the first movie I remember ever seeing Tom Cruise in.. It also was where my influence from Tangerine Dream music came from as they have some seven or so songs sprinkled throughout the movie.. Starting with Love on a Real train.. (The Dream is always the same)

Tammy Pescatelli has one of those shows where she just watches the world around her and thinks funny shit up.. I get her stand up because I feel like i'm the same way.. For example I'm in the local walmart and this has happened several times now so I am honing in on the right comeback..  I'm looking at product on the shelves and just looking.. And a guy walks by asks me how I'm doing, do I need any help??  Nice opening hu??  And i say nope, I just look lost, it's my everyday look.. Or I tell him I'm talking to the product, amazing what you can learn when you listen to what it has to say..

American Heist with Adrien Brody..  A love story.. If there can be one in this type of movie..

METasTaSIS ..    Watch and feel the dejavu ...  I didn't watch this, it is a reader and besides that I saw the original and while this is a close remake (they even had the original creator doing the show).. I only saw until they ran the opening bit then gave up.. It's now in my timeline (the continue watching) and that will take a month or two to get it out..

Suicide theory.. This was more of a love story than anything else.. If there can be such a thing in a movie like this..

8:46 is sort of a documentary about the story behind a few people that the events of 9/11 (2001) touched..
