Nothing to Fear except Fear Itself

Thank you, Franklin D Roosevelt. That held true today because my anticipatory fear of the Blue Angels making ear shattering noise was unfounded this year. I don’t know why, but I’m glad. The ultra sonic sound was brief. Maybe the Navy put mufflers on their jets. I have no idea.

I watched the movie “Lucky” today, starring Harry Dean Stanton. It’s about a very old man and it’s somewhat poetic. The opening shot was of a turtle crawling in one direction in the desert, and end with the same turtle crawling the other way. Stanton’s character work was excellent and I kept thinking ‘this is too real for a talented makeup artist’. I looked it up and the film was made in 2017. Harry died the same year at the age of 91. It’s remarkable that he was capable (very) of carrying the film at that age. No need to question if it was his last one.
