A few hours ago, I sat watching Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. I DVR'd it the other day. Huge fan of this DVR stuff. I watched 300 last night. Never would have otherwise. It was a lot better than I thought. I thought it was going to be more gladiator-like and I'm super glad it wasn't. I was also impressed with the graphics. I was expecting awesome graphics as everyone told me I would really enjoy them. They have spawned an idea or series of ideas for a painting. So much for Koi and another mermaid. Back, blood, and rust will be running amok in it now. Perhaps, I will change my mind again.
After sitting and watching TV and doing laundry all day. I found myself bored and disappointed in myself for not accomplishing more today. So, I grabbed Joey after changing clothes and drove down Fluer. I wanted to see the water.
Once at the barracade, I was not satisfied with the slight glimpse of the pond sitting over Fluer. I had to see more. We drove over the 7th St. Bridge and followed 3rd Street to my favorite Bar Duet, Miller High Life and El Bait Shop. We parked and walked east over the railroad tracks to a rush of water.
Joey was busy sniffing all the dirt and grass and stink of sweaty people and sand. I was busy taking pictures of the pedestrian bridge I had failed to notice previously though I have been on the other bridges several times over the years. Who knows how I could miss a bright red bridge, my favorite color. I blame alcohol and tricks of light (there being none at night).
Oh well. Joey and I walked about 1/2 mile. Pretty good for a short fat girl and small goofy dog. My legs are tired and Joey is not passed out. :) No playing tonight, and I am fine with it all.
Snaking this is because of the memories of '93 flood. The movie Indiana Jones with all the snakes and the river itself. Winding down, threatening all she meets.
