NEW AMSTERDAM

It is 8:24 a.m. edt and 24.8 degrees and Earthdog and Wheel Dog are downstairs taping episodes of Bull Run.

Went caching yesterday with Junior and Patrick, got some FTF's, nice hikes in the woods, Junior treated to footlongs at Subway for lunch.

Watched New Amsterdam, episode six on tube last night. Cool show about an immortal New York Homicide cop. Show is not set up/explained as Highlander was, but I guess if you watch it enough you get it. It IS a Highlander clone, with relevant flashbacks, altho, I'm not sure it there are any more like him...

FROM THE PATRIOT POST:

“It’s alive! We thought it might be over but some of us never dared fully believe it. Last week was like one of those moments in a horror movie when the worst terror recedes, the screen goes blank and then reopens on green fields or a lover’s tender embrace. Drained but still naive audiences breathe a collective sigh of relief. The plot twists have all been resolved; the threat is gone; the quiet spreads. And then... Put your own movie analogy in here... The Oscars host Jon Stewart compares them to a Terminator: the kind that is splattered into a million tiny droplets of vaporized metal... only to pool together spontaneously and charge back at you unfazed. The Clintons have always had a touch of the zombies about them: unkillable, they move relentlessly forward, propelled by a bloodlust for Republicans or uppity Democrats who dare to question their supremacy. You can’t escape; you can’t hide; and you can’t win. And these days, in the kinetic pace of the YouTube campaign, they are like the new 28 Days Later zombies. They come at you really quickly, like bats out of hell. Or Ohio, anyway. Now all this may seem a little melodramatic. Perhaps it is. Objectively, an accomplished senator won a couple of races—one by a mere 3%—against another senator in a presidential campaign. One senator is still mathematically unbeatable. But that will never capture the emotional toll that the Clintons continue to take on some of us.” —Andrew Sullivan
