I'd never seen this classic film, though I've read the book at least twice. It was excellent, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the book. What a great story!
Charles and I watched this this wkend and really liked it. Though the music was intense and very scary! We plan on reading the book sometime. But yes, a great story, as Charles said, "It has a lot of meat."
Yes, and the meat in the book is ... hmm ... tastier? And it gives you more time to think about it than the movie does. My favorite theme in my latest reading was Scout learning to see things from the perspective of others.
I don't know why, but some time last year, Wheat Thins started coming with tons of extra salt on them. The first time I encountered it, I thought it was just a bad box. But it's been consistent every time since then, across various varieties (except the low-salt kind). Nabisco, stop it! It's way too much salt! You're killing us. You took out the trans fats a few years ago, which was fine. The crackers got harder then, but that's a minor deal. But seriously, cut back on the salt!
The Teton Valley News is our local small-town weekly newspaper covering primarily Teton County, Idaho and Alta, Wyoming. For our family the consistently most interesting section is the Sheriff’s Log report. This week contains an entry that reminds me why we often enjoy it: January 8 — A driver south of Victor reported seeing what appeared to be a fist fight taking place on the side of the highway. A deputy responded and found a couple people salvaging a moose next to the road. They had given each other enthusiastic high fives at one point, which may have been misinterpreted by the passing driver as an exchange of blows. 😆
