A Fall

Gloomy sunny afternoon at Kaiser Morse hospital emergency room. Erlynda tumbled down my back porch steps and I was certain had broken her left arm in two places, plus hit her head, hit her ribs, and twisted her ankle. Nevertheless, X-Rays revealed no breaks, and the CAT scan revealed no concussion.

Dodged a bullet here.

My Little Thief

Jasper’s project this evening: lifting my wallet from my gym bag, removing the currency, and chewing on the bills.

Gnomes

The most amusing part of Jasper’s nighttime walk is watching him freak out as he plows through other people’s landscaping and comes face to face with lawn gnomes.

Notes on Individual Scenes
-----------------------------

I notice that Albuquerque-acquaintance Jackamoe Buzzell is an Archer City, TX, deputy in the movie (we are likely distantly-related, since both our Buzzell families hail from Maine).

I really like the opening establishing shot of the movie, featuring Dale Dickey (Skank, from "Breaking Bad") and the (Streamline Moderne style) Three Crosses of St. James Episcopal Church, 1117 Main Street in Clovis, NM.
