Great Wall, Pandas, and Mcdonald's

 Sam Raimi is back.  I can't wait to see Send Help.  It looks like Castaway with violence.  If you have not seen the trailer, it is about a woman who is overlooked for a promotion and generally harassed by her boss.  They go on a flight, where the plane crashes.  The woman and her boss are the only survivors.  She has the skills to survive.  He is still arrogant and injured from the accident.  It looks like a fun movie.  Go see it if it is out in your area.  

 It looks like Florida is going to continue with its cold weather.  We even have predictions that it might go down to the teens.  We moved here to escape the freezing weather.  I know once it passes, we'll be back to the 70's and 80's.  I wonder why I can't get over my cough.  I just hope our pipes do not burst.  

 In the 90's, Clint Eastwood did a movie called Absolute Power.  It's about a thief who witnesses a murder involving the secret service.  When I think of this movie, I think of Trump.  Here is a man who has this power, but also has some really big skeletons in his closet.  I think he will do anything to stop them from coming out.  One of the things he wants to keep secret is the Epstein files.  I think that he is right up there with Epstein. He wasn't just a friend, but a partner in pedophilia. What would he do to silence victims and/or witnesses?  Just imagine.  Putin is someone he looks up to.  You see how he deals with critics.  

 We are in a cold snap.  It went from the 70's to the 30's.  I arrived home and found a yard project awaiting me.  We had a leaking pipe.  I had to change and take over the digging.  I got to the pipe, but I could not see where the leak was.  We had to turn it back on.  I found it was not where I was digging.  I had to expand the hole to expose more pipe.  Then we found it.  A fracture in the pipe.  We could have called a plumber, but I did not want to spend the money.  The wind was getting colder, and we were losing light.  I did manage to cut out the bad section and put on couplings.  I need to join the couplings to the new pipe.  At this point, we had no light, and it was cold.  We had to do without water for the night.  The next day, I went out in the freezing air to enlarge the hole.  At this point, I could join the couplings to the pipe.  We turned on the water, and no leaking....
