Deb you might be thinking of “Sneakers” which did not star Greg Peck, but starred Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Dan Akroyd, River Phoenix, David Straithairn (hubba hubba), and a few others. One of my favorite movies. Redford had been kidnapped and driven to a location with a bag over his head. Straithairn’s character was blind and when Redford was released, he asked Redford to recreate the trip he made when in the kidnapper’s car by describing what he heard. He said he thought he heard a very loud party. When they drove the way Redford described, they came across this large flock of seagulls making a huge noise – hence, the party!

I’ll not sleep well after watching the Soderbergh film about Che last night. They had a graphic hand-held shot of the execution of Che…very disturbing.
Ernesto Che Guevara epitomized the word “revolutionary”. It’s a long two part film and it’s aimed at a niche audience and I guess I am in the niche. It helps if you know espanol but the dubbing is true.

For all the Michigan readers here — apparently you’d like to vote for an Independent for governor if you could: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/11/22/michigan-voters-would-like-an-independent-for-governor-if-th/

I got beaten up by a goose when I was about ten years old. Now I admire them in flight, going away from me.

I recall a movie with Gregory Peck or someone like that, where the sound of geese in a flock (gaggle?) was mistaken for a crowd of people. Someone was transported blindfolded and thought they were being driven past a carnival instead it was past a bunch of geese. Does anyone know what movie that was?

Drove past a biker funeral yesterday. Never saw so many bikes in on place before. This as at a church at the end of the block, people were still getting together for the service. Between the bikes parked on the street and the people milling about it was kind of tricky driving past. The hearse was a bike drawn trailer, hand glass sides and silver trim like something out of a Dickens novel. As I think about it, our area isn’t notable for his bikers so I wonder why they choice this church for their funeral.

Coozledad: Sometimes I doze off while listening to the four hour satellite live show I hear every week day. In my quasi-dream, I become part of the crew and carry on conversations with the show hosts. It’s always bizarre. I had no idea I was so witty! Duh…
Great post, dude. Dude. heh heh…
