BOYOTE gets a lot of movie suggestions from friends and acquaintances.
This film came out a while back and I finally got around to it; though
I believe I have seen parts of it here and there. It's D. Lynch, right?

Weird. Good filmmaking though. The editing is bang-on and the cinematography
top-shelf. But the subject is strange enough to warrant a Huh?

People change names. Or faces. I'm not sure which. There's a main character
and her lesbian side-kick. Okay maybe not lesbian. But they are lovers alright.

Fortunately, it's a movie within a movie (like Argo!) wherein, they're casting
the lead of another movie here. I like that. A lot. Is she acting, or what?

Maybe if you act enough, you become yourself. And that's the Q we're left here.
What's real? One-of-my-favorite-Q's. Love is real. Strange, strange film.

Mullholland Drive. *** who's Rita?

Consider the possibilities!

Sometimes, the Trailwriter will pedal
out especially early in the morn
while it is still cool enough to ride hard.

Sometimes, it's cool enough after the day.
Even rarer: It's both!!

Can we talk for a moment about the weather?
From Mark Twain to John Wayne: a good day
is a good day. And these are good days here.

at the GEC: The Garden Education Center of Greenwich. There's a big room with paintings
on four walls. There's Student work and the work of the membership, Interpretations
of Spring. Lots of verdant colors. That's a fancy way of saying green paintings.

So put down your chainsaw for a moment and take some time to take it in. This Friday eve up on Bible Street in Greenwich, CT.

If the case is that you cannot get to this opening, N.England is full of great artshows to view
if you have a car or a train tickey to Beantown here

Little Joe's Books in Katonah is one of a dwindling independent booksellers
in upper-Westchester county(!) They stock relevant new titles and a slew of
children's books. This Trailwriter attended the First bookswap there.

I had bundled about 24 soft and hardcovers into two boxloads and trucked them
up there. (It's about a half-hour north from home). Was I amazed by the selection.

The other people brought up some serious titles. I avoided the Fiction (that's
just me) and headed for Bio and non-. I was not let down. Here's a partial list:

The Stories So Far (of Deborah Eisenberg)
Yiddish for Dogs
King Dork (F. Portman)
Remarkable Creatures (T.Chevalier)
The Happiness Project
The Art of the Moving Picture
The Turk - (T. Standage)
Packing for Mars (M.Roach)
the Global Village
The War of the Worlds (h.G. Wells)
Wittgenstein's Poker
Three Cups of Tea
Consumed (B. Barber)
Dinner with Persephone
Made by Hand (Mark Frauenfelder)

If I left your book off the list: The Trailwriter will try to get to it provided:
It's not somebody's made-up tale; and the cover is revealing enough to suggest what's
inside!

Also: Men Working and that tale of the NYTimes Food critic where she disguises herself
to keep her sanity and identity intact. Huh? I just started that one; but I will get to it!!

I like to read; heck, I kinda get paid to read books so I devour them when it's not too busy.
I have to say that my favorite books make me wonder how true they are WITHOUT explicitly
saying so. That is, I have to examine the spine or where I got the book to reveal its origins.

All in all, A Successful BOOK-SWAP at Little Joe's Books in Katonah; community building, heck:
They served up wine for us winos to wonder whey why they, if soto ojkfkjdsnm fnmd sfklnjsdfnm f

Meteorite is the word used for meteors that strike the planet.
So...Meteor is the word we're looking for in this case I believe;
as: it didnot really strike Earth; or did it?
