The primary TV attraction today is Hurricane Isaias .    Was a Category 2 yesterday at 110 MPH. Strengthened today into a Category 3 at 120. Reports indicate that landfall will occur at around 10PM ET (9PM CT) tonight just east of Pensacola, Florida. Looking ahead to tomorrow, note that the eye will probably just have passed Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where Georgia is scheduled to play Alabama at 7:30PM ET (6:30 CT). But who knows for sure what will happen. As tailgating can begin at noon on the Alabama campus, there will almost certainly be chaos that afternoon. My recommendation is that they postpone the game until Sunday. More seriously, landfall will be near Navarre, Florida. Located 25 miles east of Pensacola and 15 miles west of Fort Walton Beach. Once a town of 1500 in 1970, the population must be around 45,000 today, and is the third-largest community in the Florida Panhandle. Suffered terrible damage from Hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Dennis (2005). Storm surge is the most ser...

That   confidential Epstein file   of A-listers who participated in his sex-trafficking efforts, which is roiling around the Trump administration, and was the pivotal issue in finally killing the partnership of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, could well be real and life-ruining.  Speaking on The Sean Spicer Show,   Alan Dershowitz , famous Harvard lawyer, who is known to be one of those in the file, now then serving as Epstein's lawyer, said he knew names so referenced.  So this issue will continue to fester, and perhaps someday explode.  Is our president a pedophile? But on to the "spiritual" topic of the day, check the internet, and you essentially get the same answer to  how best to increase your longevity for a long and healthy life. Prioritize regular exercise. Adopt a healthy and balanced diet. Cultivate strong social connects. Effectively manage stress. Don't smoke, limit alcohol (and the latest info is, eliminate this liquid), hydrate (drink e...

So what am I doing for entertainment now that I'm back from my trip and the summer is here? I have stopped going to movie theaters.  My last experience was a back to back  Barbenheimer,  but that was nearly two years ago.  I am, though, pondering over Tom Cruise's  Mission: Impossible, The Final Reckoning , plus a lunch.   Rotten Tomatoes  reviewers only gave it a 79 rating, so maybe not. Vulture  has a list of 10 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend.  Click on that, or instead go to: The 30 Best Movies on Netflix Right Now The 25 Best Movies on Hulu Right Now The 30 Best Movies on HBO and Max Right Now Me?  We get all kinds of activities at 15 Craigside.   ( That smaller building to the extreme left is 15 Craigside, where I've now been for 11 years.  That tallest structure next door is 2001 Craigside, where I lived for 32 years .)  For example, just today: Yoga in the Solarium.  Nope, not me.
