Why would anybody want to get rid of their Mariah Carey Funko Pop?
Somebody traded this away, it's on the shelf at McKay's.

Looks like I made the second episode of "9-1-1 Nashville". It was just as a background extra, we had to time our walk so that the guy on the Segway would zoom out right in front of us. Must have done a dozen takes at least.

I thought fiber optic cable usually came wrapped in orange tubing. So either this black plastic tubing is something other than fiber, or the Secret World Government is trying to hide the fact they're installing more fiber here in Nashville.

Apologies for the dusty screen, I need to clean my loaner car. But wanted to share this XM screen, seems Milli Vanilli is still up to their old tricks. Now instead of pretending to sing, they're pretending to be from the Police's Synchronicity album.

Boat dock at the Harrah's Laughlin. Fish are enjoying the shade, at least until the water taxi has to dock on this side.

Sunrise over the Harrah's Laughlin casino. As seen from the convenience store across the street, which just so happens to also be owned by Harrah's.

Whatever Sony bean-counter decided to sell this show to Netflix, needs to be kicked out of the movie industry forever. Sure Sony made a small $20 million profit on the deal. But Netflix now controls a billion-dollar franchise.
Bad bad decision at Sony.

Thankfully, I never worked for somebody who needed a cup like this. I've certainly had bad bosses but not to this level.

Forecast said it would "only" be 98 today. But my car's thermometer said it was 100.
Of course this was driving on a road. With all that lovely blacktop absorbing extra radiation. Probably more than enough to explain the extra two degrees.

Not really a fan of horror but this one was pretty good. A clever structure where the story is told from multiple character viewpoints. As each character's plot unfolds and intertwines with the others, you learn more and more about what's happening in this town.

I did not see this movie right away because I thought it wasn't my kind of movie. Boy was I wrong, it's fantastic.
Definitely worth catching in a theater if it's still playing near you, just for the racing scenes.

I'm sharing this photo not for the remote-control R2 unit, but for the "Kanban & Scrum Flex Board" sitting to the left of the droid. Somebody managed to trade that in at McKay's, the store is listing it at $49.95.
Sorry, Agile is not worth that much money at least not to me.

Thumbs-up on this new Naked Gun flick. Not a classic like the original, and only a few real laugh-out-loud moments. But it had its moments, it just kept throwing so many jokes at you that inevitably some of them would land.

Ouch -- Fantastic Four dropped 66% in its second weekend. With 'Superman' continuing to do well, there's no "comic-book fatigue".
But Disney has to consider that there may in fact be real "MCU fatigue" in the marketplace.

I really wish I knew the story behind this wreck that I saw being carried down the road. Hard to see but that front driver-side tire is completely gone, it's just the broken wheel. What the heck did they hit, to cause the whole tire to come off the wheel?

As of this writing we only have five days of box office data for Fantastic Four, but I'm gonna call it -- there is no way they can catch Superman. Not at the domestic box office at least.
They're already almost $13 million behind, no way they can make it up.
