I saw the original Star Wars movie at the Cine Capri in Phoenix... the one they tore down even though it was a piece of history .
Other than that, I have never seen any of those types of movies. I dislike reading science fiction and to see sci fi movies would be painful. I have even fallen asleep when taking my children to such movies.
Of course, this makes me a fun hater in the eyes of many.

Naw, just because you don't care for Science Fiction doesn't mean you're a fun hater. It's not everyone's cup 'o tea. My brothers taught me to read, I cut my teeth on Ray Bradbury -- so, yeah, I'm a Sci Fi geek.

I made a wonderful dinner tonight. Flat Iron steak, roasted fingerling potatoes and Caesar salad (OK, it was a salad-in-a-bag). We had a nice Pinot with it.

Dessert shall be Conversation Hearts......Do I know how to live or what.

I often have weird dinners. Tonight it was pickled herring, my homemade pickled eggs, and kukicha twig tea with honey.
After which I practiced my limberjacks and mouth bow.

Mouth bow? Is that like a jews harp?
I had one of those and was always afraid I'd break my teeth.

Urggghghh...It's tooo hot! 42C!!!!...thankfully i'm inside...It's cooling down to a balmy 37C tomorrow...My bike will be inside for a few days keeping out of the sun.

Dealing with the weather & training for our event is becoming annoying...just give us straight 30C for a while..I can deal with 33C..

Lisa, you should have met my mother. She would have liked that dinner.
Snap, your menu made my mouth water. I can never find flat iron steak here. For awhile they had it at Roche Brothers (local grocery store), but then it disappeared. I may have to go to the super expensive meat/fish market here in town (that is next to the super expensive lbs).

Last night on my way home from a friend's house, traffic on the interstate came to a congested halt, then the clog moved slowly along. Saw blue lights ahead. OK, accident, and the clog kept slowly moving. And we passed the spot I thought I saw the blue lights. Finally got to the merge point.....

Carnival Floats! It was a rolling road block, they're moving Mardi Gras floats from the "dens" where they're maded and stored to the staging areas. Obviously needing police escorts for this little mini parade.

Welcome to Carnival Season. Throw me something Mister!

Yes, it's like that, except long and wooden, with one string. Slightly mellower sound. Buffy St. Marie plays one:

I don't even know what 'flat-iron' steak is!
This is the only flatiron I know:

Your link doesn't work. Is this the Flatiron you're looking for?

Flat Iron steak is relatively "new" to the market, although from what I understand, meat cutters and butchers have known about it for years. It's from the shoulder, and it's pretty darn tasty. Best of all, it's also inexpensive, although I'm afraid if it gets too popular the price will go up. Right now I can get a steak for $4.99 a pound. Since we don't eat huge amounts of meat with a meal, a steak can last my family 2-3 days. I had to giggle when I saw it on a restaurant menu for $28.00.

There, more than you probably wanted to know about a Flat Iron Steak. Next week, we will discuss the Hangar Steak.

Yes, that's it. Very famous NYC building, made of iron.

Odd, the link is still working just fine for me.
