I enjoyed the movie and it's grittyness story.

I went to a library to get some writing done. It's a nice place to get away from distraction of the home. Well the books at the library are distraction, but it was a light distraction.

What I'm missing this summer is drinking some cold beer. None of the commercial stuff. Find and drink some craft beer. Then while I drink have a pen and paper ready to write a story or add a few pages in something I wrote about drinking beer.

It's an excellent scifi series.

W. Ringo @tellez.bsky.social · Aug 11

Sounds good. I will be there.
