I just watched this last night. I really liked it. It had a real X-Files vibe to it that I enjoyed. It was well done. The characters were interesting. And the small New Mexico town it portrayed is just the kind of place I like visiting on cross-country motorcycle trips.

Oh, and our personal favorite fast food in the Denver metro area? Easy: Good Times. It’s Colorado’s equivalent to In-N-Out Burger. Most are drive-through only, but (if we ever get past this effing pandemic) most also have patios with benches, tables, umbrellas, perfect for a nice day or summer evening. Plus: frozen…

I’m not buying the map either. But we have a Mod Pizza (which Mrs. Overclock and I refer to by their tag line “super fast”, spoken like Molly Shannon’s character on SNL) in our neighborhood, and we like it. Get pizza in just a few minutes made anyway you like it for a flat rate regardless of toppings. Get an all…

It would be worth watching just to see John Constantine as the stuffy butler. :-)

I liked the subversive touch at High Castle Abbey in which all the wealthy were people of color and all the servants were white. I’d stream that show!

Best movie theme song? Or best movie theme song EVER?!?!

Same!

A lot of things that seem like they must be conspiracies are in fact just individual actors - people, companies, etc. - responding rationally yet independently to a common set of incentives.

I’ve lived in the Denver area for over thirty years and I’ve never even *heard* of the sandwich listed for Colorado.

I had never even heard of “loose meat sandwiches” until many years ago when I attended a funeral for my father-in-law in his home town of Ottumwa Iowa - also Radar O’Reilly’s home town. Me, my spousal unit, and her older brother and sister had lunch at the Canteen Lunch in the Alley, a place famous enough to have it’s…

My favorite scene also. My take on it is that Motoko has always assumed that she more or less looks like the person whose brain she carries in her armored skull, the person of which she has no memory. But now she realizes that she’s just a copy of someone... and it opens the question whether she has an organic brain…

I just bought one of the 25% off waxed cotton trucker jackets (tan) - just in time, I must admit, for it to get warm in the Denver Colorado area - but I really like it. It’ll be perfect (not to mention stylish) in the fall and spring. I’d been looking at them for a long long time, but couldn’t bring myself to pay full…

As long as he drives a Volvo 1800 coupe, I’ll be fine with it.

And it had one of the greatest scores of all time, written by none other than John Williams.

Same as Mr. P: we used to tip our waitperson 20%, but these days we’re more like 25% for carry-out. We want our favorite neighborhood places to survive. “Keep the change” is my mantra now.

Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.

I’ve found flute breathing also useful when riding a motorcycle with a full face helmet on a cold day. It works.

“Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” isn’t scary... it’s just one of the best.

Your office supply store - which may actually still be open - is likely to have cookie-sheet-sized portable whiteboards to which magnets will stick (for notes and such). The one I bought (to practice talks on) was pretty inexpensive. Plus, it may come with a couple of dry erase markers that you can use to make your…

I regret I can only like this once. (Now I have to go listen to the original again.)
