Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In previous years, I went with fabulous babes who fell for Capt. Kirk, Louise Sorel and Catherine Hicks, and this year I go with Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl, a novel I read earlier this year.
2. Nepotism FTW. As you might guess, Ever Carradine is from the Carradine clan, daughter of Robert.
3. MST3K. The one I know for sure is The Deadly Bees with Frank Finlay
4. Today's surprises. I checked on Lucille Ball and Robert Mitchum expecting nothing, but she had one early in her career and he had one late.
5. Living Canadian free! One of those strange days.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: As for water usage, with weather and rain control, the amount of water we need for irrigation will be what we make of it.
Reality: Controlling the weather is not quite as popular a prediction as flying cars or moving sidewalks, but this is definitely not the first prediction.
It doesn't make the prediction correct, but Mr. Ernst might be happy to know he's got company in his mistaken view.
British actor George Cole, known best in his country as the star of a TV show Minder, has died at the age of 90. He is pictured here as the young Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol. His other genre credits include Mary Reilly, UFO and The Vampire Lovers.
Best wishes to the family and friends of George Cole, from a fan. He is never to be forgotten.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Once again, I will the writings of the young H.G. Wells to ruin that charming view some of us had of him when Malcolm McDowell played Wells all those years ago.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
OK. I am all over that Windup Girl novel, because I respect you and your opinion, even if you tried to diss my man George Sutherland on his radiant heating prediction...
