I don’t remember most of the details of the book, but I remember some of the things that were definitely wrong in some earlier versions. I’ve learn to expect adaptation, possibly because I don’t remember details …

I think I’d like to see it, too. Not a fan of horror, but I did read the book in college (it was an extra credit SF class), and it sounds as if it might be closer to the book than usual.

We have a couple of rivers, and are not far from the ocean. We get some fog, but not regularly. It was raining here, too.

It was foggy here, too. The tops of some of the buildings get lost when that happens. Can’t even see the lights.

And sometimes I don’t want to buy a more expensive (brand) item plus pay shipping, or buy more to meet the site’s minimum for free shipping. Or maybe I do want the brand item, but I only want one or two.
I can’t really go running around to every store in the neighborhood to see if they carry item.

Only worth it for a quick sale at a place I shop regularly. But not if they’re going to send me the same info via email.

Sometimes it’s a built-in shipping cost. Or maybe warehouse cost? Otherwise, they send stuff straight to the store, and don’t have to store/ship it themselves.

My laptop doesn’t work, so I’ve been relying on my older phone and my tablet. The thing about apps is that they take up space on the phone, space which I don’t have right now. So no, I’m not going to the app. I don’t really like having to shop at so many different places, either.

The government would want to make healthcare work, whereas the healthcare companies are trying to make money (at our expense). It really doesn’t make sense.

My sister and brother-in-law are pretty good at buying what they need, even at TJ’s. Me, not so much.
