Quick Summary:
(From imdb) After a deadly home invasion at a couple's new dream house, the traumatized wife searches for answers - and learns the real danger is just beginning. As she is trying to process the horror of what happened during the invasion and is trying to find peace in her own home again, she starts to realize that she might not know the people around her as well as she thought she did.( Laura_Ratings)

I found this movie to be very interesting - even hilarious at times, since I'm a native of Corrales, NM.  I was taken aback by the aerial views of the center of Corrales, featuring Sandoval Elementary School.  Even though I had spent SEVERAL YEARS of my life within the frame of the views, it took me a few seconds to recognize the place.  Didn't even really connect as a small town.  The storyline of Corrales as a small town collided head on with the big-city accoutrements of the film, plus the modern architecture of the main house, plus the current tourist fakery of the real Corrales these days.  I loved that cringing collision of values!

Freida Pinto - wasn't she in Slumdog Millionaire?  Great Movie!

Zoo Babies


Rumor had it that there were new babies at the Sacramento Zoo. Sure, enough, there is a new baby flamingo, who spent some time practicing standing on one leg.  We could also see an egg, so maybe more flamingos are coming....

Here is a new momma mongoose lemur in her enclosure. Her baby was stuck like glue to her fur (and unfortunately, on her opposite side in this picture).

No Gum Recession


Time for the teeth cleaning. Patti the Dental Hygienist stepped aside to let Dr. Woo inspect her work in my open mouth. Dr. Woo gasped and exclaimed "No gum recession!" 
Like, it should be different? Maybe it is for many people! 

When my mother first took me to the dentist in the early Sixties, she took pains to make my visit as pleasant as possible. Her own dental experiences were miserable. Armed with dental diligence for her own kids, she wanted to kill that karma once and for all. 

No gum recession. It's a small victory, but many decades in the making, and I'll take it.
