THE WRECKING CREW

Reviews indicate that many more liked  The Wrecking Crew  than not.  For example, said CNN: Momoa, Bautista are buddy movie perfection in 'Wrecking Crew' Two superhero movie stars get their bromance on in an explosive new Prime Video action flick. They are Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. When their private-eye Hawaiian father dies in a suspicious hit-and-run incident, two estranged half-brothers are brought back together for the first time in a decade. James Hale (Bautista) is a steely Navy man in Honolulu who’s a hardcase at work and at home and has no patience for shenanigans.

COVID IS BACK!

 As written by Alan Smith, from  biglaps :   COVID Is Likely Back with Current High Levels in These States: Check If One of Them Is Yours The Centers for Disease Control can determine if any viruses are circulating and spreading various locations by testing sewage water.  Thirteen states in particular show very high COVID activity. The five highest levels of COVID is now  Ohio, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Nebraska . The next 8 are  Montana, Maine, Arkansas, West Virginia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Kansas and Indiana. Whew, Hawaii is not included.  In March, we  begin another adventure through Las Vegas, Denver, Memphi, so that we can catch an American Cruise Line ship to New Orleans, then New York City, where we will board a Viking ship to Toronto, rail to Vancouver, and get back home to Honolulu.  Don't see any state on the above two lists.  Whew.  However, COVID has a way of suddenly appearing, so we'll need t...
