Re: Naut,
I like it when it is new and bright, and it's still too early in the winter to see another snowfall with dread.
You probably have television for a regular fix of eye-candy. Netflix is great if you want to see some old shows you used to like, or some good ones you missed. We go to Hulu for The Blacklist, and The Daily Show, but I refuse to upgrade to see some other shows. Netflix is not only cheap, it has no commercials, and that makes it better than television. The election season and the two-month stretch before Christmas... what bliss to be unimposed-upon!

Re: Kabu,
Have you seen the 'prequel,' COMANCHE MOON? It's the same two Rangers in their younger years. The younger actors in the roles are just about persuasive enough, it is still the wide open scenery, and Larry McMurtry still has a hand in it.

Re: Pat,
Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover... what's not to like? And Anjelica Huston is always great to watch!
The scenery is spectacular, too!

Sorry for all the snow, unless you like it, LOL! We (at least I) have too much of it, though currently it's melting a bit. And I have resisted the temptation of Netflix - I know I'm missing a lot of movies that way, but I've got too much other stuff to worry about...

Lonesome Dove, watched it twice since I have been here with Wiley. I just love it. It has an authentic real feel to characters and the story and the scenery.

Lonesome Dove was one of my don't miss shows, maybe because
I liked the actors, maybe because I liked the flavor of the times, the old fashioned-ness of the story. I seem to remember liking how the women were presented by the writers, too.

Re: FormerStudentIntern.
I remember hearing about a note received by a tv weatherman: "I wanted to let you know, I have just shoveled two feet of partly cloudy of my driveway."

Re: Lord Dunsany wrote what's called 'high fantasy' back in the latter days
of Victoria's reign. He wrote mostly short stories, I think, which were published in collections. They turn up now and then at 2nd-hand book stores. His style ranged from lyrical to lordly, and inspired Lewis and Tolkien. Hardly anyone seems to remember him these days.
That's funny, in the Shire of Middle-earth there is a tavern called The Bird and Baby.

I often find that snow does not come at the exact time the forecasts call for it...It is great how we can catch up on shows on Netflix.

Probably into the studio next door Ciel.
Arthur has recanted .
He was thinking of Wagner
who wrote Ring Cycle. It was CS Lewis who was a Don at Oxford
and wrote Narnia books Who was friendly with T.
They used to drink at the Eagle and Child in Oxford.
Nicknamed the Bird and Baby.
When Arthur's mob was there it had assumed the Nickname of
the fowl and Foetus. He could not place your Irish lord.
Perhaps that's where the saying came from as drunk as a Lord.
