Her performance on an episode of MANNIX was memorable. She seemed too big for the small screen.

I don't know how else to describe it: America is having a going-out-of-business sale.

In the Samaria Gorge on the island of Crete, Greece, lies a very deep cave with a continual cold spring waterfall. To reach it, you have to swim about 100 meters in 10 degree (C) water. I spent time thinking about hypothermia I was so cold. Nice payoff tho.

Walls of the cave direct you to a small bright opening in which a cold mountain spring falls to bright turquoise water.

Along with Denali Mountain and Bryce Canyon, this is the most majestic place I’ve ever been.

My teeth rattling even as I could stand in only waist deep water kept me from fully enjoying it,, but no chance I was missing this just for some discomfort.

It seemed to get progressively colder tho so this is about as close as I got. In later days I’ll post a shot looking back thru the caves. The video I took is really the best indicator of the beauty here but I dunno if I can post that here or not. I may try in the comments later today.

Looks like I need to add another movie to the list:
THE CONNECTION/LA FRENCH (2014)

Available on Tubi. It's a great sibling to THE FRENCH CONNECTION. This is what was happening in 1970s Marseille while Gene Hackman was chasing Frog One all over NYC. Great cops vs gangsters flick done with flair.

I'd wager that 7 out of 10 adults in America are telling themselves that everything's fine. I wish could mail a copy of this photo to every damn one of them.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Anyone out there still playing make-believe that America is okay?

Stop looking so beautiful, New Zealand. I'm having a hard enough time staying in America as it is.

"From an early age he was said to have a touch with horses, good at stealing them from other tribes and good, also, at capturing and breaking wild horses. Thanks to this skill he was for a time given the name His Horses Looking, but that name never caught on."
