34.

Joe Biden is far from perfect as President of the United States. Personally I’d like to see some younger candidates on the ballot, but that’s not going to happen with the political machine that runs Washington, D.C. The eldest generation is going to hang on to every ounce of power possible until their last dying breath.

That being said, choosing between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, a convicted felon where he was found guilty in 34 out of 34 charges, and with three more trials looming on the horizon, seems like a no-brainer. It’s not an awesome scenario, but when it comes to common sense, it seems like voting for the guy that isn’t a convicted felon would be the patriotic move.

But brains and common sense no longer prevail in these here United States in the 21st century. We’ve got our toe on a society reminiscent of “Idiocracy” and every day I wonder which is going to expire first, the United States as we know it today, or me.

Don’t be stupid in November.

Max.

The whole family went to the movies together last night. We haven’t done this since before the pandemic. A part of Chris’ birthday celebration, we went and saw the latest “Mad Max” movie.

I never watched the “Mad Max” movies from then or now, but I have a general idea of what they’re about. I’ve seen plenty of clips over the years. They’re not really my cup of tea; I found the story of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” mildly interesting. The cinematography was spectacular. Some of the camera angles and shots in general were quite engaging. I really liked that aspect of the movie.

The closest theatre is part of the Galaxy Theatres chain. I believe it’s the only one in Arizona. It’s a very nice theatre, situated in an old Basha’s Supermarket location. The seats are very comfortable and the theatres seems to be quite spacious. There’s also cameras concentrated on the audience to monitor phone use and the like; there are several warning messages before the show alerting the audience to not use your cell phone as you will be removed from the premises.

I really like that.

Caturday.

It’s Caturday! Truman enjoys watching the aviation traffic in and out of the patio area of the house. He doesn’t really provide air traffic control, he just keeps an eye on things.
