We are now about 1/2 way thru season 2. I won't give anything away in any comments. But they premiss, as we have said, is terrific, the problem is they just don't know where to take it. They have so many subplots as we go on, several linking to the original premiss, but others so far off, it reminds me a lot of Lost as they never really ran with the original premiss and started to veer off in other areas, well, if you were a Lost fan, you know what I mean.

Let me know when you get deeper into the show, as I would love to discuss several matters that I can't now, without giving too much away.

Will do Len. I had to stay with my brother in NY this week. I mentioned to him I watched it last night on the bedroom tv. I thought it might be something he

My wife and I just started watching 'Manifest' on Netflix and liked it very much. I believe it was an NBC series that got canceled and is getting a re-life on Netflix.

Briefly, a plane takes off with 191 people on board. They have a scare in the air and when it comes time for them to land they find out that 5 1/2 years have passed since they took off and now here they are. Very interesting premiss as to how they and the world adopts to them. Families who thought their loved ones dead have moved on only to have those loved ones return. Twins are now 5 1/2 years apart. Additionally, some of the passengers are having visions of things to come, hearing voices warning them of things to come.
Add to this a few other mysteries and I feel it makes for some decent enough entertainment.

I believe it is 2 seasons for now.

I watched and enjoyed the first episode of this last night. Interesting premise.

I saw two 10 second clips of opinion shows on Fox. That is not representative of the whole network or the many news shows aired everyday. Nor does it condemn the whole network as you are saying. Just my opinion of course.

Woody, while I have witnessed a few on Fox News call out anti vax sentiment, the fact remains that the opinion shows, Tucker Carlson, Hannity, The Five, and Laura Ingram are Fox

Get vaccinated or get sick. It's your choice and it has nothing to do with politics.

Well it sure as hell shouldn't!!  It both saddens and sickens me that there are those who feel otherwise.

Something that hasn't been discussed on this topic (unless I missed it) is that there are thousands of people who had covid and now believe as many doctors believe that if you had covid you now have a natural immunity so don't think they need to get an additional vaccine.

My understanding - although your body does develop antibodies against Covid doctors were not certain how long that immunity might last, nor how strong the immunity actually is. Remember, Donald Trump had Covid and some time after he recovered he received the vaccine.


I also find it interesting that people who have had the vaccine are concerned about sitting in a restaurant next to a table with people who have not been vaccinated. If you have been vaccinated and you believe that the vaccine works why are you worried?

Bill, from everything we know the vaccine is not 100% effective at fighting Covid. I've been vaccinated but could still get it and be asymptomatic. My wearing a mask is just as much to protect me as it is to protect those who didn't receive a vaccine. Also, with the different variants popping up it's possible there will be one or more that is resistant to the vaccine.

Still have that fixation of Ms. Kelley--even after all these years.     

Yes, even after all these years. Beauty like that does not easily fade away.

With many Hitchcock movies, unless you know the entire movie, it's hard to just 'pop in' but Dial M has been seen so many times and each time, a joy to watch. Grace Kelly at her loveliest.

  Where's the "heart" emoji when I need it??
Dial M For Murder is my favorite Hitchcock film. Rear Window is right up there with it though.

One thing I've learned the past few years is to always buy non-ethanol gas for all small engines (snow blowers, lawnmowers, power washers, generators, etc.). It makes a huge difference and I mean HUUUUGE (in honor and memory of Billy Fuccillo - may he RIP...huge football fan, played TE for SU for 4 years). The motors run like a charm compared to using ethanol laced gasoline.

I remember his commercials. "Huuuuuuuge!!"

The chocolate cream pie at some random restaurant in Lancaster, PA back in the late '60s, when I was probably 10 years old.

My parents took my brother and I and my grandmother on a mini vacation down to the "Pennsylvania Dutch" region on PA. The last night there for desert I was the only one to order a slice of that pie. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling the Bataan death march in my stomach.  I had a pounding headache and threw up countless times, and had the dry heaves most of the way home the next day. My dad finally stopped at a small town bar to see if he could get me a glass of water. The bartender gave him a shot of whiskey to give to me telling him it should help. I slowly sipped it all before we got on the road again. We soon stopped at a rest area where I promptly fell asleep under a shade tree. I woke up feeling somewhat better and was able to make it the rest of the way home without further incidence. To this day I still remember large chunks of that trip like it was yesterday. And it took me years before I was able to eat chocolate cream pie again, but every time I do I still think of that trip.

I was a Pink Floyd fan before Dark Side of the Moon. I regret not seeing them live.  I hope to see their cover band Brit Floyd someday. They were on PBS and they were really good.

squibber, another really good PF cover band is The Machine. They regularly tour the US.
